Booker wants to talk about implicit bias and systemic racism.
Garland is agreeing that there is disparate treatment in the justice system.

Merrick I want to be the Attorney General because I'm cool dude. I really like listening to him. Or at least what I imagine what he is saying in his head. also would totally let Cory have the rest of this hearing to talk back and forth.

I want to hug him.

Garland also stated that he would like this position at this time, because he is listening to the people.
Booker asking him to tell about his story. Garland getting choked up.
He feels obligated to beat use his skills to give back.
Fuck, this is the best.

Garland is really emotional talking about how his family fled persecution and he feels its his honor to pay this country back.

Durbin reading list of those backing Garland - would be faster and infinitely shorter to list those who don’t, thank goodness we don’t live that world anymore now.

A ghost guns ban is making its way through my state Senate today and I'd LOVE to see a federal ban I can't un-imagine a ban on ghosts owning firearms. My brain also went here.
