I speak from some, small experience, having served as an Asst DA in Manhattan about 100 years ago. We were taught to be aggressive but fair, assertive but decorous, and never to lose sight of the fact that we were advocates, not judges. I believe Garland lost the vision, like a combat vet gone to “fat” in the offices, not at the front lines.
He has been a judge too long, and has forgotten that as AG he is not an independent magistrate, but an advocate for justice. GGG = Garland’s Gotta Go!
Precisely, and many of my legal friends share that observation.
