The one thing Democrats cannot comprehend is the magnitude and ubiquity of their systematic corruption. Yet every government agency and office is populated predominantly with Democrats, forming a social bubble with that hard shell through which light cannot penetrate. With the “fourth estate” similarly populated, as funded by advertising agencies of similar persuasion, it is no wonder they think the whole world thinks like they do.

Trump should dismiss the judge-selected substitute, Desiree Leigh Grace, and replace her with an alternate.

Can’t he make a recess appointment when Congress is not in a session this summer?

If staffing the DoJ is a constitutionally prescribed procedure of the executive, there is no legitimate statutory law which can remove that function. A previous President cannot obviate the constitutional authorities of his successor by statute.

Not a Habba fan (b/c of her simping for the Tate brothers), but she is the President’s choice. Yet another judicial coup.

When does the federal prosecutor have to be approved by the judge? They are confirmed by the Senate I’m bad at that.

He could. But I don’t think the Senate has been recessed yet. And I doubt they will go into recess this summer. Remember in his first term, Mitch McConnell kept the Senate in pro-forms session for his entire presidency to prevent him making any recess appointments.

The Department of Justice was established by Congress in 1870 by statute so its procedures are governed by statute.

This sucks and this is actually the 2nd one rejected by a federal district court. Northern NY also refused to accept its appointee as well.

This is Schumer’s doing.

Trump will have to appoint new picks and continue to do so every 120 days. Hope he has a very fine list of pit bulls.

I forget who that good guy in DC was, but this what happened to him. They pulled his nomination because the Senate wasn’t going to confirm him anyway, but his “acting” time in DC was ending, and presiding judge Boarsberg wasn’t going to appoint him

Can’t Trump just re-appoint her?

That’s what I was thinking. Else, appoint someone they actually hate, then re-appoint habba later.

I don’t think it’s ever been tried.

He should though, just to poke those judges in the eye.

“As understand it was a temp. Appointment.”

Like Jeanine Pirro in DC — just interim. They’ll find a way to axe her before anything gets serious re Epstein, Obama, etc.

Trump should pool 3 or 4 lawyers willing to be appointed to these positions. Then as each is allowed to lapse, a different one is appointed for their 120 days and in a round-robin tag team, they each serve continuously while periodically exchanging districts.

That part is in the rules, Magnum44.
Another question is why didn’t the pubbies take any action on the appointment? They still have the majority...

Yes, he should. He’s got nothing to lose and everything to gain. Give Schumer an ulcer.
