The Head of DOJ’s Civil Rights Division Is Violating Federal Law and Her Actions May Be Void
Daily Signal ^

Posted on 11/16/2016 6:11:11 PM PST by ameribbean expat

Vanita Gupta, the acting head of the U.S. Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, apparently has been working in violation of federal law for more than a year and a half.

That may render all of the official actions she has taken during that period—lawsuits, demand letters, hires, you name it—“void” and of no effect.

“The bottom line is that the Obama administration appears to have blatantly violated the Federal Vacancies Reform Act precisely because it didn’t want to comply with the confirmation requirement for Gupta. It has treated her as the head of the Civil Rights Division from the very first day she was hired and officially named as the acting assistant attorney general.

“This defies the Senate, the Constitution ,and federal law. States, towns, businesses, schools, and police officers who have been targeted by Gupta’s Civil Rights Division should realize that they may have a valid defense under the Federal Vacancies Reform Act against any actions taken against them by the division while Gupta has been the acting assistant attorney general.”

Oh too funny. So the consent decree on the Ferguson Police Department might be invalid... delicious irony.

Violation of criminal statute. But so was Hill’s involvement with foreign agents on behalf of their foundation.

is there even one thing this obama administration has done properly according to the law? Even his swearing in had issues.

She was a stinking ACLU commie lawyer before being selected by Obama.

Born in Philadelphia to illegal alien Indian parents. She is an anchor baby, not a real American.

Sheriff Joe in Maricopa County AZ has been harassed by the feds...perhaps it was the Civil Rights Division? If so, its good news for him.

He was defeated for his re-election bid. I know nothing about his replacement.

Gupta has been very careful to sign court documents—such as the city of Ferguson, Missouri, consent decree—only as the “principal deputy.” But that does not change the fact that she was officially named as the “acting assistant attorney general.” Such tactics don’t get her around the limitations in the Federal Vacancies Reform Act.

Thus, every action Gupta has taken since May 13, 2015, may have been of “no force or effect.”

This opinion piece was written by a senior legal fellow in the Heritage Foundation. I would trust his legal opinion.
