This is not news. The President has the Constitutional authority to fire anyone in the Executive Branch - especially a duplicitous scumbag like Comey.
Why isn’t Comey in prison? Or better yet, hanged?
Trump can pick anyone he wants for AG. Nothing wrong with getting Barr’s views before nominating him. It is too bad he didn’t do a better job of vetting Sessions.
.
B.S. This is NOT some new “development” — this was reported shortly after Barr was nominated, a couple of months ago.
This is just the Demoncraps and the Propaganda MSM trying to make trouble for POTUS Trump.
Ofc, now that we know Barr and Mueller are close buddies it may not be a bad thing if his nomination were to be withdrawn. But that won’t happen, Trump and Graham/McConnell are not going to let the Demoncraps derail the process now.
Well, so what?
Is Trump supposed to hire cutouts from the DNC lobbyist club???
Somebody call the WAHmbulance...
Sessions Part 2 ?
A lawyer offers opinions.
Sounds like he has a good head on his shoulders.
This is good.
In 1991, Barr stated that he believed the framers of the Constitution did not originally intend to create a right to abortion; that Roe v. Wade was thus wrongly decided; and that abortion should be a “legitimate issue for state legislators.”[14] Barr also said during his confirmation hearings that Roe was “the law of the land” and that he did not have “fixed or settled views” on the subject.[15]
In a 1995 scholarly article for The Catholic Lawyer, Barr states that American government is “predicated precisely” on the Judeo-Christian system.[39][39]:3 Barr grapples with the challenge of representing Catholicism “in an increasingly militant, secular age.”[39]:1 Barr asserts that there are three ways secularists use “law as a legal weapon.”[39]:8 The first method is through elimination of traditional moral norms through legislation and litigation; Barr cites the elimination of the barriers to divorce and the Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade as examples of this method.[39]:8 The second is the promotion of moral relativism through the passage of laws that dissolve moral consensus and enforce neutrality.[39]:8 Barr draws attention to a 1987 case, Gay Rights Coalition v. Georgetown University, which “compel[s] Georgetown University to treat homosexual activist groups like any other student group.”[39]:9 The third method is the use of law directly against religion; as an example of this method, Barr cites efforts to use the Establishment Clause to exclude religiously motivated citizens from the public square.[39]:9 Concluding, Barr states the need to “restructure education and take advantage of existing tax deductions for charitable institutions to promote Catholic education.”[39]:12
Memo was bait to make Trump think Barr was not a swamper. He’s as deep swamp as Mueller and his answers today in the hearing tells me that he’s as big a waste of flesh as Sessions.
