They launched a war on our Constitution, using executive orders to expand a regulatory state that threatens to suffocate individual autonomy and business innovation. Their legislation-through-regulation schemes are an end run around the people’s representatives and therefore, around the people.Then there is their reckless spending, triggering the highest inflation we have seen since the 70's and lowering living standards for all Americans, hitting hardest those least able to afford it.In a three-minute press conference following the FBI raid on Donald Trumps Mar-a-Lago home, Attorney General Merrick Garland<a href="https://thehill.com/people/merrick-garland/"> </a>cut a defiant figure, <a href="https://www.masslive.com/news/2022/08/ag-merrick-garland-defends-fbi-amid-republican-attacks-i-will-not-stand-by-silently-when-their-integrity-is-unfairly-attacked.html">condemning critics</a> of the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the FBI: “I will not stand by silently when their integrity is unfairly attacked.” He then left the stage without taking questions or answering that criticism.It was a <a href="https://jonathanturley.org/2022/08/16/the-incredibly-shrinking-merrick-garland/">signature moment for Garland</a>, who often responds to controversies with belated, rote remarks. His brief comments had all of the substance of a Hallmark card that read, “Trust us, we’re the government.” Yet trust has to be earned, not simply demanded.The indignation expressed by Garland in his public remarks seemed to ignore legitimate concerns over the DOJ’s motivations and record in past Trump-related investigations. Both the FBI and DOJ have documented histories of false court statements and bias against Trump, leading to the collapse of the Russia-collusion allegations and the firing of high-ranking officials.So far, Garland has done little to earn the trust of almost half of the country. In this and other controversies, he has demanded respect but refused to take even modest measures to justify it.So Run away little Sammy just like your HERO GARLAND.[URL unfurl="true"]https://thehill.com/opinion/judiciary/3609008-mar-a-lago-mess-how-merrick-garland-can-regain-the-publics-trust/[/URL]</blockquote>
