Tellya what, Lefties. As long as the Demonrats keep crunching out fake ballots in Florida, Trump will appoint whomever he wants in his Cabinet, K? If we’re going to burn the reeking Constitution, let’s burn it for all, K?
These “Republicans” who object are just protecting the deep state coup plotters.
They are helping the Dems/MSM to take down Pres Trump.
Pure scum.
Why do I care what a faux-TV judge thinks?
If he wants to be on TV let him take over Wapner’s old chair.
So in this line of thinking, the President cannot name an Acting to a PAS position who does not currently hold a PAS position?? That would be highly constricting all across the government.
For me, Napolitano became the Dick Morris of legal opinion some time ago. Sadly, he’s gotten worse since the Murdochs gave him that time-out in the corner.

I believe it’s called a re-education camp.
Toe the liberal Trump sucks narrative or out you go. Fox is just as bad as all of them now expect for a very few people.
If I remember correctly JFK appointed his brother Robert Attorney General - The Democrats seemed to have been ok with that bit of nepotism.
Isn’t the only qualification for a cabinet job is the President wants them in that job (and the Senate confirms)?
As for the courts, they have no oversight of the Executive Branch of Government. They can rule on laws but I don’t see anything that gives them the right to decide who the President chooses for cabinet. That authority belongs to the Senate.
....He shall have power, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, shall appoint ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, judges of the Supreme Court, and all other officers of the United States, whose appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by law: but the Congress may by law vest the appointment of such inferior officers , as they think proper, in the President alone, in the courts of law, or in the heads of departments.
Congress passed a law requiring that an acting AG must come from those that have already been vetted by the Senate. So, not a Constitutional issue exactly but one of law.
Given the issue with Whitacker’s incidental involvement in an organization being investigated by the FBI, I think it would be smart for Trump to find an official somewhere that he trusts, that DID make it through some senate confirmation, and appoint THAT person for now. Even better if the person has never commented publicly about the Mueller investigation.
Remove the possible illegality, and the conflict, and the possible investigation, and move on.
RE: Left is terrified of Whitaker
Absolutely. I think every one of them is worried they’ll be indicted any minute. Trump and allies have cited the Emergency Appointments clause that says he can appoint anybody for 90 days. Judge Nap lost his credibility long ago.
FOX continues to turn to the left more and more... I don’t watch em much anymore.. disgusting the direction our country is turning.... will take care of me and mine and not worry about the scum until they show up in person.
Napolitano is the “go-to-judge” for Shep Smith. Says a lot about Napolitano. Napolitano would better serve on CNN or MSNBC. They’d love him there, especially if he was on FOX and gave them up for a liberal network.
I don’t see what all the uproar is about. This guy will serve only until the new AG is sworn in.
UNLESS they, the Dems’, plan is to make sure no new AG GETS SWORN IN!...................
Judge Napolitano was one of the first to reveal the GCHQ (British NSA) involvement in SpyGate. Then he was slapped down hard about it, and ever since has acted as if he were a hostage to the Deep State. Remember, General McMasters only got fired, and they killed his father. This is not a game.
Trump probably doesn’t think it’s time for a sodomist on the Court. Undoubtedly the next POTUS tagged “D” will have one or more waiting in the wings.
When the DOJ doesn’t have an AG, doesn’t the duties of the AG revert back to the president? In fact, the president is the boss of the AG, and as such, he can appoint whoever he wishes to carry out “the president’s orders”. Never mind that the temporary AG would just be a puppet for the president; the president would be carrying out the duties of the AG and I’m pretty sure there is nothing unconstitutional about that.
” These “Republicans” who object are just protecting the deep state coup plotters. “
Well then, there is a whole new crop of them exposing themselves.
A fine sign of desperation, we hope, that the Justice Department is rumored to be about ready to cough up some trouble for Deep State and their covers in the media.
(Per Trump’s fine tweet.)
Never been a question why the Enemies of the State despised that phone of his, and his wringing communication from their hands in the Media Complex into his own.
The relevant law is the Vacancies Reform Act.
Nappy, just like Whoroldo, claim to be friends of POTUS but both spend all their time stabbing him in the back.
The federal vacancies Act of 1998 allows any president to choose whoever he wishes as AG period..... temporary or otherwise. Absolutely nothing unlawful about it. The Communists know that he’s a clear threat that’s why the accusations
The U.S. Attorney General wouldn't be an "inferior officer" under any objective definition, since he reports directly to the President and he acts entirely through the authority of a Federal statute that created the AG post.
