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.
