"Says 'can't have musical chairs' at top of DOJ."
The state of Maryland is reportedly set to ask a federal judge for an injunction declaring the appointment of acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker illegal, and Judge Andrew Napolitano agrees that Whitaker is not "legally qualified" for the role.
Maryland is likely to make the unprecedented move on Tuesday in a bid to block Whitaker from exercising the duties in the position, arguing that his appointment is not legitimate. The state will reportedly claim that deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein is the rightful acting attorney general.
Whitaker’s appointment has been under fire ever since it was announced last week, coinciding with the resignation of then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions, with Democrats questioning his qualifications and views on Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.
On "Fox & Friends" Tuesday, Napolitano, Fox News' senior judicial analyst, explained why he agrees with the state of Maryland that it was an "unlawful appointment."

I pray for POTUS.
Did they whine this much about Sessions? Memory fails me.
Hugh Hewitt was saying the same thing on his show today.
He has sucked since he came back from his suspension.
Globalist sucker.
i hope Andy McCarthy edges him out as prime legal consultant - when i see Judge Nap coming on i grab for the remote.
BFAC, I have heard Nap on 550am, our local conservative radio show in the morning during his weekly 15 minute interview...he is and has been a never Trumper...so I am not surprised. Napolitano is a useless idiot who likes to hear his own arguments.
Can Trump run the department himself w/o an AG?
Where in the Constitution is it written?................

There have been a few surprises out of Republican quarters, on this Whitaker pick. Trusty Dana Perino had a well respected former DOJ attorney on, who was not for the Whitaker appointment, and a few pundits on FOX have opined that the appointment could be justifiably argued by BOTH sides, for and against, the appointment.
Weird, but it should hold for the short term, long enough to move in the man or woman of the hour who will rip the Swamp with a great deal more vigor than we’ve seen so far.
“i hope Andy McCarthy edges him out as prime legal consultant - when i see Judge Nap coming on i grab for the remote.”
Same here. I’ve had it with that guy.
No one cares what Eddie Munster’s Dad has to say.... No one.
In 2016, he appeared to be pro-Trump.
They have “talking points.”
Well, he is certainly a Dick.
I don’t understand why any judge anywhere can countermand anything and everything the president does. He may as well set up his desk in the Supreme Court chambers, to save him from having to run over there 5 times a day.
Fox news wouldn’t approve of someone misinforming their viewers ...so it must be true?
He was given a new script since he got back.
He got read the riot act. He’s comped.
