Merrick Garland Might Be Going Up For Contempt Of Congress, And That’d Be Just Fine

Word is spreading that House Republicans may finally have the votes to hit Merrick Garland with inherent contempt of Congress, the rare power to have the Sergeant at Arms physically take a defiant witness into custody until they comply.

And frankly… he’s earned it.

Garland has spent years stonewalling legitimate oversight from the people’s House. When Congress demanded the audio of Joe Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur — the interview where Hur’s report described Biden as a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory” — Garland flat-out refused. Even after the transcript was released, he kept the audio locked away, claiming “executive privilege” as if the American people don’t have the right to hear the President’s own words.

This isn’t a one-off.

Garland’s DOJ has turned a blind eye to Biden family corruption while weaponizing prosecutions against political opponents. Parents speaking up at school board meetings were treated like domestic threats. Pro-life protesters were hauled off in early-morning raids while violent left-wing agitators skated by. He’s presided over a two-tiered justice system where the law is applied based on who you are instead of what you did.

Inherent contempt hasn’t been used in decades because it’s the nuclear option. But sometimes you have to remind unelected bureaucrats that Congress isn’t a suggestion box — it’s a coequal branch of government. If the Attorney General thinks he can defy subpoenas and hide evidence without consequences, he’s not just thumbing his nose at Congress… he’s thumbing his nose at you.

If this rumor is true, it will be a defining moment. Either Congress stands up and says no one… not even Merrick Garland… is above the law, or they prove once again that DC’s political theater is all talk, no action.

And thank goodness he’s not sitting on the Supreme Court right now — imagine giving this level of corruption and arrogance a lifetime appointment.
