President Trump’s new acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker is facing questions of legitimacy, with the state of Maryland reportedly set to ask a federal judge for an injunction declaring his appointment illegal.

Well that is good news then. It is good to know that Whitaker is the right man for the job. No chance that they get an injunction.

Now Trump can't even pick his own leaders of his own branch of gov.... yeah right.

You know what happens if this happens, right?
RR is on the street.

What is a president supposed to do when a cabinet member is fired or resigns? Somebody has to temporarily fill the position until a replacement can be appointed.

Maryland is being sneaky. Technically the DAG is second in line in the DOJ, but that doesn’t mean you MUST appoint that person as acting AG when AG is left vacant.
There’s no statute that says Trump do that.
Here’s where Judge shopping comes in. They found an Obama appointed judge they hope will stretch and make that interpretation.

Since RR would be a party to the suit, would the judge try to say RR cannot be fired?

So the left can appoint a USSC Justice that's never even judged a fricking state fair fruit cake contest but Trump can't name his own AG.

quote:. . . and that stretch would be fine. I don't believe it would hold up, but it would be within prerogative. However, an individual Federal Judge empowered by such a stretch to employ an injunction against the Chief Executive administering his own Cabinet is way over the top.

The Judiciary isn't a junta

YOU ARE SO RIGHT.
Elena Kagan is a softball playing school principal. My God. I’m still furious that she’s on there. And there was NO fight.

Even a POTUS must follow the law.

I’m no lawyerin SOB but that states the DAG “may” exercise the duties of that office, not “shall”

I don’t pretend to be familiar with the Act, and I do not care enough to GET familiar with it. Just pointing put the potential issue to posters who seemed confused about it.

Why isn’t trump trying to appoint someone right this second? If you are going to demand a resignation, at least have a replacement,ent lined up.
They could be confirmed tomorrow. You have the votes in the Senate.
That said, there is nothing wrong with Whittaker. But why THIS hill?

Trump doesn't even have to do this - just order his reassignment to a lower position and Whitaker as Acting DAG, which then makes him Acting AG.
The President RUNS the executive branch. I guess these, "No civics-taking, okay with pen-and-phone when Obama has the pen and phone" motherfrickers don't understand that.

This would make Hedley Lamarr proud.
