So....

A third of the minority party in the country wants to set aside the entire rule of law because....reasons. And that is a terrible look; indeed, it shakes the foundations of our republic, threatens our democracy, bodes ill for the future, and generally proves too many people don't understand how our legal and Constitutional system works. And the explanation for that 1/3rd of the Republican party thinking that way? Trump. And why is this "bad for efforts to restore people's faith in our legal system"? Why should Merrick Garland "stop digging"?  Well, of course, because: Trump.

Except one is a position completely at odds with our entire system of laws and our Constitution, and the other is entirely in accord with our laws and our Constitution.  However, both issues will be (indeed, one already has been) resolved by the courts, where disputes over the application of the laws is supposed to be resolved.  But one of them is a terrible, no good, very bad, horrible idea; and the other is not.

And which one is which depends entirely on what you think of Donald Trump.

A government of laws?  Or of one man?
