Garland agrees with Leahy that protecting the right to vote and stopping voter suppression efforts are critical steps

Leahy asks Garland to reinstitute the Bush-era moratorium on federal death penalty use while they move legislation to ban it permanently.
Garland cites exonerations due to new DNA evidence, the disproportionate use of the death penalty against Black men, and POTUS' personal opposition to the practice as reasons he would likely reinstitute the moratorium.

Sasse: What went wrong in the Epstein case handling?
Garland: I can’t answer that. But values wise, not good.

I don't think Hawley expected that answer lol.
He wanted to be able to go on Fox News and say he can't vote for Judge Garland's confirmation bc he won't aggressively pursue violent crime and wants to defund the police. But now he can't say any of that
:Points and Nelson laughs:

Garland supports additional resources for mental health and domestic violence situations so "the police can do the work they are trained to do"
