I left the R party around 2003. I see the two parties as two wings of the same party. The R’s have an opportunity here to prove me wrong.
And Trump can promptly fire Boasbergs appointment the next day. Then he can assign the US Attorney for Lubbock Texas to take over the DC office.
US Attorneys are confirmed or not. But they are not confirmed only for one district. It would be easy to get around this unconstitutional challenge.
Cornyn won’t do it, he is in a tough race against Ken Paxton in Texas.
Does a federal judge really have the authority to appoint a member of the executive branch? That clearly seems counter to Article2 of the Constitution.
Only reason I am staying with the Republican party is because the only other choice with chance of winning is simply horrible.
Excuse me, where the F does it say JUDGE IN THE LAW.
Won’t vote no?
Yeah. That’s why, though I’m independent, I always vote republican. What I like about Trump is that I see him as independent. He just had to join one of the parties if he wanted to win. And he picked the “not silly” party.
What happened to recess appointments? Don’t they get a year?
Ever see the republican party do anything to help Trump? And by doing so help America and themselves.
I would say he could do it the same day. In by 9, out by 5.
why wait.
fake “judge” “I appoint (radical left wing pick)” @12:01 pm
President Trump “they are fired!” @12:02 pm
“I left the R party around 2003. “
I left this year. Corrupt to the core.
I have to admit that it took me a few years to not still see myself as a republican. But it’s been over 20 years now, so I’m over it.
I see the two parties as playing “good cop, bad cop” with us. and which one you see as the good cop is the one that seems to align with your values. Trump was a breath of fresh air. And it all started when he simply DID what other presidents said they would do - but never did - move the embassy to Jerusalem.
They all lied about that, and so much more. Every single one of them. Oh sure, they all had excuses, but the real reason was either greed or cowardice. Or both.
I trust a man who gained his wealth by building things way more than someone who gained their wealth in a career of politics.
Another Republican Senators test bookie not taking bets.
If Cornyn votes no he may be toast in Texas! I know it is early yet, but Cornyn is down in the polls to Ken Paxton, the Texas Attorney General who will be running against Cornyn in the 2026 republican primary!
The Republican party of today is far better than the Republican party of four years ago. And the Republican party of four years ago was far better than the 2017 Republican party (Remember Paul Ryan?). It still has a ways to go, but we never would have gotten this far if we had abandoned the party. If you’re not in the party, then you give up your vote and you allow the establishment to dictate the party’s direction.
If there was a viable alternative to the GOP that was more attuned to the party’s base, I’d support it. But unless and until that happens, remaining registered as a Republican gives you more influence than you’ll have by simply checking out.
