Merrick Garland. He is “above” politics.

Some reasons cited as a cause of the failure to adjudicate these charges before the election: A “wariness in confronting Trump and his legions of supporters, an unreasonable tendency to give him the benefit of the doubt, the judiciary’s own overweening sense that it is above politics, and a fundamental failure to appreciate that a strongman who attempted to seize power unlawfully once is a threat to the very existence of the legal system itself.”

Many people I have spoken to roll their eyeballs when I bring out the “F” word, fascism. Not paying attention! The failure of ordinary people, en masse, leads to bad things.
