During Monday’s confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Attorney General nominee Merrick Garland was asked about systemic racism. Democratic Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey asked Garland about his views regarding mass incarceration and inherent bias in the criminal justice system.
Booker began by describing the “Micah Mandate,” which he explained as “do justice, love mercy…and walk humbly.” He quoted an activist-theologian he has read, who says, “What does love look like in public? It looks like justice.”
