There’s a famous anecdote about Fred Astaire’s dance partner Ginger Rogers that she “did everything he did only in high heels and backwards.” I couldn’t help but think of it as the news broke that Jeanine Pirro was to be the new interim United States Attorney for the D.C. If ever there were an “eff yew” to the Republican establishment it’s this, because she’s every bit the dancer Ed Martin is, and then some.
Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC), as you are no doubt aware, was the RINO roadblock preventing the current U.S. Attorney for D.C., Ed Martin, from getting a vote to keep the gig. Whatever Tillis has against him being in that post will not be alleviated by his replacement — which was no doubt Trump’s point. Trump must’ve looked around and thought “I got a whole conga line of pissed-off Republican lawyers who’d love to clean up this mess. I’ll just appoint one after the other.” And so it begins!
One can’t help but smile at the thought of Tillis, alone in his luxuriously appointed Senate office suite, hurling and smashing a crystal high ball of 12-year-old scotch against the wood paneled wall. How marvelous! Especially when you consider that his lame excuse for his comeuppance was January 6th. Pirro is, to understate the obvious, very unlikely to overlook the dark underbelly of the so-called “fedsurrection.” If anything, she’ll dance in high heels and backwards right into the ugly truth of it, and oh my, what Republican vermin will scatter away from that sunlight, huh? Because, as we all know by now, our problem isn’t Democrat versus Republican; it’s Us versus Them, the Uniparty.
Ed Martin, for his part, will go to DOJ to have a little look-see into what Biden did to weaponize Justice

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Tillis was playing checkers.
Jeanine Pirro, as an interim United States Attorney for D.C., would be allowed to serve until a permanent appointment is made or until 210 days have passed since her appointment, whichever comes first.
If the President should nominate her to be the 'permanent' United States Attorney for D.C., she would need to be approved by the Senate. My guess is that Tillis and his ilk would block her as they did Martin.
After 210 days Trump could appoint Martin again.
I would love to see a revolving door of interim appointments of 210 days. Don’t even bother to get the senate to confirm anyone. Turn the senate into a nonentity. Trump could have a roster of people lined up for each of the troublesome posts, and just name them as needed to keep the seat filled with no need to get anyone’s approval. Get someone in place for 7 months, give them 2-3 goals and tell them to charge hard and get these things done in your limited time. Then someone else gets a turn, and they get 2-3 different goals.
Even worse, playing checkers with a confident, arrogant attitude while knowing his opponent is a Grandmaster chess player
Yes
I agree. However, I wouldn't be surprised to see a challenge made in the SCOTUS if this strategy was followed.
I didn’t vote for Thillis in either of the NC primaries, but held my nose and checked his box in the general. Having made the same mistake twice, I hang my head in shame.
Who has standing? The position needs to be filled. If it has to be on an interim basis so be it. I don’t think one Senator can block this exercise. If the majority of Senators try to appeal the SC should just kick it back to the Senate. They can amend the law. It’s a political question not a legal one.
What’s the big deal? Obama did it in high heels and ass backwards for 8 years in the White House.
They don’t teach Pig Latin in the schools anymore. No wonder our kids can’t add or do cursive!
Just make Ed Martin the assistant to Shapiro for 200 days and then she can go back to fox while he steps up.
One wonders what some digging into Senator Thom Tillis’s connections and dealings will uncover…
Just sayin’ allkindasorta hypothetical-like….
Time to make the RINO an extinct species….
PIG LATIN?
Cool! Thanks for posting.
Hilarious!

What would be the basis for such a challenge?
Esyay!
