Partisan hack Pete Wilson suggests that maybe the new acting AG will take the job seriously and put aside his own opinions of the law and do what's right
Keep waiting Pete the Dems have quit waiting for hell to freeze over |

Seconds thoughts. Maybe RBG should stay until Trump is defeated. Oliver Wendell Holmes retired at age 90. Wishing her God Speed on healing. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Well I mean she only has to make it 13 more months. Once 2020 starts we can’t possibly approve a Supreme Court Justice in an election year. We’d have to wait for the people to be heard. I mean surely since this is the precedent set by McConnell he would follow it even during a republican admin right guys? Right? |

I knew my wisdom was rubbing off on you. We need to find her a pickleball league and some shuffleboard friends. |

She can't be forced to retire can she?
As long as brain is active she can keep her job? |

Quote: | Because Mr. Whitaker has not undergone the process of Senate confirmation, there has been no mechanism for scrutinizing whether he has the character and ability to evenhandedly enforce the law in such a position of grave responsibility. The public is entitled to that assurance, especially since Mr. Whitaker’s only supervisor is President Trump himself, and the president is hopelessly compromised by the Mueller investigation. That is why adherence to the requirements of the Appointments Clause is so important here, and always. |

trump is right...there is a crisis but it has nothing to do with a caravan of people that won't get into this country with a gun...the crisis obviously lies in the number of guns already in the country

Yea sure is interesting how quiet Trump, Fox News and other conservatives are on THE CARAVAN now that the midterms are over. I thought this caravan was an existential threat to our American way of life that had to be stopped at all costs? |

I don't think it is constitutional for a non-appointed/non-vetted person to make such critical decisions. Otherwise a President could have a parade of interim heads of agencies make decisions based on his or her whim. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |
