Not getting Senate apporval is ok with you? How unAmerican, how you love it when our nation's founding principles to trampled upon. You should be ashamed of yourself. But anything for Trump, right? Pure partisan garbage.

You know as well as I do why. Playing stupid won't cut it with this corrupt act. 

 

Apparently not, as an ACTING officer does not need to be confirmed by the Senate. Never has. It also makes little sense as the position of ACTING [anything] is, almost by definition, temporary.

 

Now, if you're advocating for him to be the permanent successor to Sessions, that's a different subject. I had no idea you were such a fan of Whitaker.

Why does he need Senate approval to be the Acting Attorney General?

 

He doesn't.

 

Peroid.  Full stop.  It's a "requirement" that's never existed before being invented now. 

 

Ask yourself why that is?  Why are people trying ro invalidate an acting AG's appointment on a newly invented Constitutional interpretation based on their fear of interference in an investigation that's almost complete?

Not for corrupt purposes, which this obviously is. He is there to go after the investigation of Trump. Totally corrupt, only Trump Cultists think otherwise. If this clown interferes with the investigation in any way at all, he is going to jail. 

 

 

Who besides Trump's political opposition, the leftist media and their *****/***** lickers thinks that the Mueller investigation shouldn't come to a close?

Eh, I wanted gator to actually answer. Killjoy!

 

However to answer your rhetorical question: So the Democrats can keep the farce going in their nonsensical bid to delegitimize the sitting administration.

 

Whitaker is going to very quickly end the 'investigation', either by forcing Muller to submit his final report immediately, outright firing Mueller, or simply cutting off his funding. Whitaker can take the political heat for either of these options, since he's not likely going to be the choice to be Sessions' successor. This terrifies the Democrats, who are planning on spending the next two years making themselves look stupid with frivolity like the Russia collusion nonsense.

 

Just look at the histrionics by Schumer. He wants to "protect" Mueller by inserting legislation into the next 'must pass' spending bill. Apparently he didn't learn from the last shutdown that he isn't going to win that game against Trump.

Yes, but his response to me will be much, much more hilarious.

That's one possible explanation.  What's another?

 

DR, want to help him out here?

People that respect the rule of law. That obviously does not apply to Trump and his cultists

Acting for corrupt purposes. Do you really think Trump honestly arrived at installing this clown to oversea Justice? After bashing his previous pick because he did the right thing in recusing himself? 

 

If you are ok with this you are OK with anything Trump does whether legal or not. Just admit it, you don't care about the rule of law, you only care about your party, your president and that's it.

Maryland’s top lawyer asked a federal judge Tuesday to block Matthew G. Whitaker from serving as acting U.S. attorney general contending the appointment is illegal.

Maryland Attorney General Brian E. Frosh (D) says President Trump’s appointment of Whitaker to the nation’s highest law enforcement post is unconstitutional and that he should be replaced by Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein, who was confirmed by the Senate.

“Few positions are more critical than that of U.S. Attorney General, an office that wields enormous enforcement power and authority over the lives of all Americans,” Frosh said in a statement.

 

Good!

And they're setting a new precedent to bite them in the ass later on.

 

Well, by that point it will be completely unfair to infringe on the right of the President to appoint acting officers to fill vacancies!

What an incredible waste of taxpayer dollars.

Upholding the rule of law is a waste? You Trump cultists are just unAmerican

First, we are demanding that Mr. Whitaker recuse himself from the Russia investigation. On Sunday, I sent a letter along with Leader Pelosi, and top Democrats from both houses and the relevant committees, to the Department of Justice’s Chief Ethics Officer explaining why Mr. Whitaker should be recused and requesting the Chief Ethics Officer notify Congress as to what guidance Whitaker has given. We’ve heard that Mr. Whitaker is meeting with Ethics officials this week, and we expect, we expect, that Congress will be notified about the results of those discussions.

Second, if Mr. Whitaker does not recuse himself, we Democrats are going to attempt to add legislation to the must-pass spending bill in the lame duck session that will prevent acting Attorney General Whitaker from interfering with the Mueller investigation in any way.

I already pointed out where it hasn't been required before...and you responded with an inapplicable Supreme Court decision that you didn't understand.

 

Neither statutory law, nor case law, nor precedent requires an acting position to be Senate confirmed.  Period.  End of story.

There is precedent.  Since he was approximately 4  months old, Chuck Schumer has said whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!! 1,276,354,917 times and every time he got what he wanted.

This is so stupid. You will say anything to defend Trump. 

 

The best part is that you are making a losing argument. Nothing can be done for corrupt intent, which is the sole and only purpose behind his move, and you know it. Only an idiot like you--and the rest of the cultists--would try and argue this is just fine and "End of story." Stupid! 

 

You are stupid.

There is no legally sustaining precedent for a corrupt act. Why was AG fired and this clown hired?

Now it's corrupt?  How is that?  When did you determine this?
