Trump Urged To Use Recess Appointment To Replace Sessions

CNN ^ | July 27, 2017

We loathed and despised Obama’s getting around the constitutional requirement for confirmation. Let’s not support more corrupt politics just because it’s our guy. I hope Trump refuses.

This is bad thinking because it assumes that Democrats are humans who will fight fair if we do.

Conservatives need to come to grips with the fact that the Democrats are never going to play fair. If we're going to win, we need to crush them completely, and to think in terms of "the ends justify the means," rather than obsessing over obeying rules our enemies will destroy given half a chance anyway.

Har! This is hilarious! Did you notice who the story is attributed to? ---

          Sources familiar with the President's thinking ...

And just who would that be?

Here's one guess: The MSM has been telling us that "psychiatrists familiar with Trump's thinking" all agree that he should be immediately removed under the 25th Amendment.

Other "foremost Trump authorities" who lecture us about the "President's Thinking" include Chrissie Matthews, Rachel Madcow, Whoopee, and their ilk.

“Sources familiar with the President’s thinking...”

Let me guess; Wolfe Blitzer and Anderson Cooper?

[Sooth2222]

If Trump asked me, I think he should use the recess to confirm all the appointments that the 'rats have bottled up. (And add a few more who have no chance of ever being confirmed by the Senate.)

I think Sessions may be playing the role of the honest WWE referee who always happens to be looking the other way when the bad guys cheat. Trump's attacks make it easier for him to do his job in a lot of areas -- like immigration. The Democrats can't call for him to be fired, and not to be fired -- at the same time.

(Let us not forget that Trump is the first President who is a WWE Hall of Famer!)

I was thinking this also. Nothing wrong with using a recess appointment at all and with the senate completely and intentionally dragging it's feet on the Presidents appointments, the President would be completely justified in doing so.

Sessions has to go and should offer his resignation.

[precisionshootist]

"Until I witness the indictments if Hillary, Huma, Lynch, Rice, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, Lois Lerner et al, then as far as I am concerned Jeff Sasquatch ain't doing his freakin' job. "

Totally agree 100% !

If the criminals of the previous administration are not held accountable then pretty much any matter of law from here out is a moot point. Just think what we will get the next time the rats are in power. The US will look like the Soviet Union. Hillary, Lynch, Comey etc. must be prosecuted or we are done.

No I want Trump to be an agent of reestablishing the Constitution, the ONLY legal bulwark of freedom against the tyranny of the feds, as the Law of the Land.

Our goal is not to win at any price regardless of further erosion of good faith and the Constitution.

Our goal is the restoration of our Free Constitutional Republic. Trump is that start of the effort.

Trump does and should go after the Lying Leftists with everything he has, but not by operating with lies, bad faith and unconstitutional acts. That’s what the Lying Leftists do. Trump distinguishes himself by blasting the Lying Left honestly and without further constitutional erosion.

[The President] 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. -- U.S. Const. art. II, Sec. 2, Cl. 2.

The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session. -- U.S. Const. art. II, Sec. 2, Cl. 3.

Confirmation IS required and since there is on intention here of a temporary appointment of an AG to replace Sessions, Trump's recess appointment would made in bad faith as was Obama's and he should not do it.

You should go read your Constitution.

[DoodleDawg]

The Senate has to be in recess for Trump to use the recess appointment. Since any Senator can declare a pro forma session of the Senate then Schumer and his minions can keep Trump from making a recess appointment.

[Jim W N]

think in terms of "the ends justify the means,"

Wrong headed. Those are the Fabian Socialist, Marxist marching orders.

We should be agents of reestablishing the Constitution, the ONLY legal bulwark of freedom against the tyranny of the feds, as the Law of the Land.

Trump does and should go after the Lying Leftists with everything he has and so should we - but not by operating with lies, bad faith and unconstitutional acts. That’s what the Lying Leftists do. We MUST distinguish ourselves by blasting the Lying Left forcefully but honestly and without further constitutional erosion.

[GOPJ]

Trump's burden dealing with Establishment Republicans is getting them to DO anything is like pushing a string.

I suspect Trump's attempting to motivate Sessions.

That said, if Sessions will ramp up the energy level and take on Democrat/Clinton corruption - he'll be one of the best AG's in the country's history.

[Greetings_Puny_Humans]

Our goal is not to win

That is precisely correct, for the old GOP anyway.

[Jim W N]

Wow. A Lying Leftist media device right here on FR- don't say the whole quote, just the part you want to prove a point - misrepresent to make a point - the Lying leftist Way.

Our goal is not to win at any price regardless of further erosion of good faith and the Constitution.

Our goal is TO WIN BY restoring our Free Constitutional Republic. Trump is that start of this effort.

Wow. A Lying Leftist media device right here on FR- don't say the whole quote

I wasn't misinterpreting or twisting your quote, I was merely making fun of it, which is perfectly obvious otherwise you would have been deceived instead of going mad.

Our goal is TO WIN BY restoring our Free Constitutional Republic.

The greatest mistake conservatives made is to equate obscure and irrelevant congressional rules and silly abstract principles which have no effect on the real world with things of actual importance.
