Merrick Garland?

What is the angle with getting this guy into government. Democrats seem committed to getting him in a position.
To what end? What is his importance. This dude broke on the scene some 6-7 years ago and the Biden administration, by making his appoint a priority (first 100 days), is right back to pushing this guy?
Any thoughts as to why?

He was the sainted sacrificial lamb that Obama nominated for scotus even though he knew Turtle wouldn’t let him in.

He’s an experienced DC political player.
Guy has been in DC for over 35 years as a Supreme Court clerk, DOJ lawyer, corporate political lawyer, and DC Circuit judge. He has extensive connections and relationships with almost every political power player in front of the cameras and behind the scenes in the back rooms and dark hallways.
It doesn’t matter if you have a firebrand if they don’t know how to navigate and play through the swamp. Having someone committed to your cause that has access and sway with the levers of power in DC to get what you want done is everything.
To put it succinctly...
Garland is what Trump thought he had with Barr.

He's the guy they want to end the 2nd Amendment. From a judicial standpoint, his record was relatively moderate (for an Obama nominee, that is) on most issues.
If they really wanted him on the court, they would have nominated him instead of The Wise Latina(tm).

He’s a DC beltway swamp creature. He will do anything he’s been told to do.
His mission will be to crush the key players in MAGA. He will make it his mission to go after them.
He also hates Cops. He will have his little assistant US Attorneys indictingbthem left and right for civil rights violations.
It takes a really tough guy to go after street cops making $45k in this day and age.
