                               RESOLUTION


 
   Impeaching Merrick Brian Garland, Attorney General of the United 
 States, for facilitating the weaponization and politicization of the 
       United States justice system against the American people.

    Resolved, That Merrick Brian Garland, Attorney General of the 
United States, is impeached for facilitating the weaponization and 
politicization of the United States justice system against the American 
people, and that the following articles of impeachment be exhibited to 
the United States Senate:
     Articles of impeachment exhibited by the House of Representatives 
of the United States of America in the name of itself and of the people 
of the United States of America, against Merrick Brian Garland, 
Attorney General of the United States of America, in maintenance and 
support of its impeachment against him for facilitating the 
weaponization and politicization of the United States justice system 
against the American people.
    The Constitution provides that the House of Representatives ``shall 
have the sole Power of Impeachment'' and that the Attorney General, as 
a civil officer of the United States, ``shall be removed from Office on 
Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high 
Crimes and Misdemeanors''.
    In his conduct as Attorney General of the United States, in 
violation of his constitutional oath faithfully to execute the office 
of the Attorney General of the United States, and, to the best of his 
ability, preserve, protect, and defend, the Constitution of the United 
States, Merrick Brian Garland continues to materially endanger the 
justice system of the United States and empower President Joseph R. 
Biden, Jr., to persecute his political adversaries at will.

                               article i 

    Rather than adhering to an oath he took to defend and secure our 
country and uphold the Constitution when he was sworn in as Attorney 
General on March 11, 2021, Attorney General Garland has willingly 
refused to ensure that the laws passed by Congress and signed by the 
President are faithfully executed.
    Attorney General Garland has failed to uphold his oath and has 
instead overseen a denigration of the principles of our democratic 
republic by politicizing the Department of Justice, and utilizing the 
Federal Bureau of Investigation as a Federal police force to punish or 
intimidate anyone who questions or opposes the current regime.
    Attorney General Garland issued an October 2021 memorandum 
directing the targeting of parents by the Federal Bureau of 
Investigation. Garland's memorandum was prompted by a letter to 
President Joe Biden by the National School Boards Association (NSBA). 
That letter drew comparisons between parents protesting actions by 
their local school boards to domestic terrorism. Attorney General 
Garland has declared war on American parents and the constitutional 
right of free speech.
    Attorney General Garland has disgracefully permitted the Department 
of Justice to target people of faith and those seeking to protect the 
sanctity of life. Garland's Department of Justice refused to designate 
violent pro-abortion groups such as Jane's Revenge as domestic 
terrorist organizations. As of early May, there have been at least 85 
attacks on pregnancy resource centers and 152 attacks on Catholic 
churches since the May 2022 Dobbs leak. Many of these buildings have 
been vandalized with threats such as, ``If abortions aren't safe, 
neither are you'', making the attacks incidents of suspected pro-
abortion violence.
    Attorney General Garland has refused to prosecute leftist 
extremists that harassed and threatened Supreme Court Justices at their 
homes in the wake of Dobbs decision.
    Rather than focusing on prosecuting Antifa and Black Lives Matters 
rioters that have desecrated American cities and caused billions of 
dollars worth of public and private property damage, Attorney General 
Garland has overseen the persecution of Americans for participating in 
political protest.
    Attorney General Garland has taken measures to silence the voices 
of millions of citizens of the United States by persecuting the former 
duly elected and lawful President of the United States, and 
Presidential candidate, Donald J. Trump.
    Attorney General Garland has engaged in abuse of power by becoming 
a tool of the Biden regime's two-tiered justice system.

                              article ii 

    Attorney General Garland, in persecuting former President Donald J. 
Trump over documents he legally declassified, has engaged in a pattern 
of conduct that is incompatible with his duties as a civil officer of 
the United States.
    Attorney General Garland has refused to prosecute the Biden family 
and its associates for the crimes they have committed at the expense of 
the American people.
    Attorney General Garland, in his failure to uphold the oath he 
took, has, by his actions, lost the trust of citizens of the United 
States to faithfully execute the laws of the United States without 
partisan bias.
    Attorney General Garland's actions run counter to the steps that 
employees of the Executive branch must take to avoid ``an appearance of 
loss of impartiality''.
    Attorney General Garland's failure to address the conflict of 
interest arising from the persecution of his employer, President Joseph 
R. Biden, Jr.'s, political adversary, Donald J. Trump, demonstrates 
that he is unfit to hold the office of Attorney General.
    Attorney General Garland, by such conduct, has demonstrated that he 
will remain a threat to the justice system of the United States of 
America if allowed to remain in office, and has acted in a manner 
grossly incompatible with democracy, self-governance, and the rule of 
law.
    Wherefore, Merrick Brian Garland, thus warrants impeachment and 
trial, removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any 
office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States.
