Do you think that Merrick Garland gives a shit? Does anyone actually think that Merrick Garland lies awake at night wonder if he's "lost the people"? Merrick Garland, like the rest of the power structure, doesn't give two shits about "the people". If he did he would have hanged himself out of guilt long since. He knows that as long as he continues to be a useful servant to his master's satisfaction he can sleep like a baby. As will they all, because if you have power, and the willingness to use it against your enemies, you don't *need* "the people". "What was the outcome of the election, peasant? Don't worry about that. It's whatever we said it is. Now go back to your pod, eat the bugs, drink the soy and consoom more product. And pray we continue to let you do *that*."
