Face it folks, whoever is chosen will do nothing more the next two years than Sessions did the last two. Justice is dead.
You mean Chris Christie?
I know Kris Kobach personally. He is one of the finest, honest, most intelligent person I have ever met. His character and professional and academic credentials are impeccable. Whatever the reason for shutting down the commission, I don’t hold Kris responsible.
I believe he would have to resign if he was nominated in order to go through the nominating process. So then who do you put in charge for the nominating period with no guarantee he gets confirmed?
I didn't know that. Is this the same if it was a recess appointment - they would need to resign to go through the nominating process?
I’m not sure, but I did read recently that someone in the “acting” position cannot be in the position that they are being nominated for. He would have to resign, or be re-assigned, I presume, to a different position, to allow for his nomination to be considered by the Senate. That causes the problem of who does Trump put in the acting position while Whittaker is considered...not a show stopper, but something to consider.
Does he use vasoline?
Does he use vasoline?
Based on his reformation since McCain departed this realm, I’d take Graham over any of the lot of them, ‘specially McCarthy or Gowdy.
Gowdy: All hair. No cattle. Just rattle.
“I’d take Graham over any of the lot of them...”
Limp Lindsay has a whole lot more proving to do before he gets a gig like AG.
The inevitable short list would make one think that America has a dearth of lawyers.
This is not a popularity contest. Pick a Constitutional bulldog, and start the purging of globalist apparatchiks.
Ask him why the commission didn’t buy the information. I could not believe the commission strategically allowed Democrats to shovel shit at the fan. Anyone who ran for office in the two parties or does marketing knows the data is for sale. Who was the bonehead that caused the two lost years? I still think not pursuing vote fraud hurt the chances at retaining control of the House.
It wasn’t Kobach’s decision.
” I think it will be Christie.”
Hush your mouth!
Thanks for telling me that. Can you find out how the decision was made?
Sure the confirmation would be hard, maybe even she would go down. Fine, backup plan then is: someone else.
The hearings would be fantastic. If voted down we could harangue the Tards about hating qualified women and trying to maintain a Leftist male lock on law enforcement.
She is a former prosecutor and judge, seems quite well qualified, certainly as much as either of Obongo's two sycophants.
Despite substantial evidence of voter fraud, many states have refused to provide the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity with basic information relevant to its inquiry. Rather than engage in endless legal battles at taxpayer expense, today President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order to dissolve the Commission, and he has asked the Department of Homeland Security to review its initial findings and determine next courses of action.
Vice President Mike Pence, who was tasked with running it, was never particularly excited about the idea, and several members of the commission had objected to working with Mr. Kobach, according to a White House official. The WH caved, not Kris Kobach.
The WH was getting lots of flak from Dem interest groups claiming the objective of the commission was voter suppression.
Many Democratic secretaries of state had said they believed the commission had a goal of laying the groundwork for restrictions that will mostly make it harder for traditional Democratic constituencies — minorities, young people and the poor — to cast ballots, which would benefit Republican candidates.
Thanks again! Hopefully a change at Homeland Security will make a difference before 2020.
I know. I knew someone would comment.
