Dershowitz is probably wrong on anything related to an "acting" appointment under the Vacancies Act of 1998 to a cabinet position reporting directly to the President. There's a good chance the Whitaker appointment wouldn't stand up to constitutional scrutiny here.

Having said that, the biggest flaw in the lawsuit these three idiots filed is that I don't see how they can have any legal standing to challenge Whitaker's appointment. They aren't parties to a case that he is prosecuting, so their recourse is to deal with Whitaker in their official capacities as U.S. Senators.

Dershowitz disagrees with you, Mark Levin disagrees with you, a lot of other lawyers disagree with you, and the DOJ disagrees with you. Plus I read somewhere that this law had been used over 100 times for just this purpose.

So what do you know that they don’t?
