CHICAGO (WLS) Some of the biggest names in Illinois legal system, from both political parties, are urging Senate confirmation of President Biden s choice for U.S. Attorney General, Merrick Garland.
The Senate Judiciary Committee, chaired by Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Illinois), will open Garland s confirmation hearing on Monday.
Two letters to Durbin and Congressional leaders in support of Garland were signed by 61 former federal judges and more than 150 former Department of Justice officials from across the nation. The letters include ten prominent names from Illinois who have signed on in support of Garland. We are former federal judges, appointed by both Republican and Democratic Presidents, the notable ex-judges write. We believe, based upon Judge Garland s character, his impeccable judicial service, and his distinguished service to the United States as a federal prosecutor and senior Justice Department official, that he will be an outstanding Attorney General.

A Radio Man and His Presidents For more than 30 years, the White House occupant could not ignore Rush Limbaugh.
Politics and law
Rush Limbaugh’s conservative radio talk show debuted on August 1, 1988, at the tail end of Ronald Reagan’s years in the White House. Limbaugh was little noticed initially and arrived too late to have much impact on the Reagan presidency. Still, the broadcaster and the president did have a post-presidential mutual admiration society. Limbaugh called Reagan on air “Ronaldus Magnus”: Ronald the Great. And by 1992, Reagan had already dubbed Limbaugh “the voice of conservatism.” Limbaugh would have a more tangible and direct impact on every subsequent presidency of his life, which ended yesterday at 70.
