  Share Source: AP Photo/Susan Walsh, File President Joe Biden s pick for attorney general, Merrick Garland, on Sunday released the opening statement he submitted to the Senate Judiciary Committee ahead of Monday s confirmation hearing. In it, Garland vowed to honor the Department of Justice s history of fighting for justice and equality for all Americans. Specifically, vowed to tackle political extremism and fight for racial equality. Celebrating DOJ s 150th year reminds us of the origins of the Department, which was founded during Reconstruction, in the aftermath of the Civil War, to secure the civil rights promised by the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments, Garland explained. The first Attorney General appointed by President Grant to head the new Department led it in a concerted battle to protect black voting rights from the violence of white supremacists, successfully prosecuting hundreds of cases against members of the Ku Klux Klan.
