Hawley wants to know if Garland will come after him for encouraging an incitement on federal property. Probably.

The "lock her up" crowd is preemptively mad about politically targeted prosecutions

Garland supports additional resources for mental health and domestic violence situations so "the police can do the work they are trained to do" AKA defund the police. I wish the Defund movement would use this kind of language - it would get so much more support because people are so fucking stupid.

Garland making sure Hawley understands his record is as long as he has been potty trained and doesn’t fold to political pressure, unlike many in the very room they sit.

Garland is talking about the importance of police accountability and public trust, and notes that consent decrees are one of many important tools DOJ can use to improve them

clucky, thanks for the live blog. LOL You're making me crack up. Hawley and Sasse are the worst and their questions seem loaded to me, yet not in the way they probably intend. I’m just trying to keep up, but I can’t shake my sales background and the need to live in a grey area of rules.

Cotton tell me the answer. Give me a committal. Barr did it. Do it and say yes. It is easy.
Garland: I need facts. I can’t speak to him or his motives. Stop pressuring me, didn’t you hear what I said to the other guy?

But what if another Nazi bombed would you support the death penalty then?
Cotton has a very punchable face.

Cotton: Are you sad the OKC bomber was killed? You say you don’t like death penalty.
Garland: I don’t feel badly. I do see how, after my 2 decades of listening and seeing more examples, my view has changed.
Cotton: What if it happens again.
Garland: I will follow policy.
Cotton: Trying to go for a monotone Jack Nicholson

He's trotting out Dylan Roof in his death penalty line of questioning.

I appreciated Judge Garland drawing a distinction between spray painting the outside of an empty courthouse in the middle of the night and attacking an occupied government building to obstruct proceedings.

Cotton pressing Garland in hypotheticals. Garland referring to president’s policies. Says he would look further into life without parol instead of death.
