Judge Napolitano says Trump's acting AG isn't qualified for role.
(Excerpt) Read more at twitter.com ...
It is actually part (a)(3) that applies
He’s not now!
With good reason which he has been providing!
Sounds like he is bitter about it!
If he indeed was ever on the list and its not his fevered imagination!
What qualifications do you need to be AG?
Actually none as long as the Senate confirms you. Ocasio-Cortez could be appointed ( God forbid ) if the Dems had the Presidency and the Senate.
I seem to recall that when the Gorsuch nomination came in, he [said] he was an advisor to the President in selecting Gorsuch.
Since then, however, he has made a sharp turn to the left and seems to be a "never-Trumper". I think he felt jilted when he was asked to leave any advisory role. And, as someone else on this thread mentioned, he really changed after he was suspended by Faux Snooze!
“This just shows that Nap is either lazy or being intentionally misleading.”
Nothing the left does is borne of honor and integrity. If things they spout, like “Trump colluded with Russia”, was due to their honestly believing it, I could dismiss it as them having been fooled. However, we are not dealing with ordinary honorable folks here, who are simply “mistaken”. They intentionally mislead.
I wish Rush would stop saying, “They really believe that Trump colluded with Russia”. They do not. They know full well all that stuff was made up. They are not dumb. Please stop giving them credit for being honest. They have no shame about lying to advance their cause. This is a new day. Our old adversaries may have honestly believed the things they proclaim, but this new batch cares not a whit about truth.
I understand. The statute is not the governing law here. The U.S. Constitution is. That provision of the Federal Vacancy Act is almost certainly unconstitutional by any measure.
You're reading that part of the statute incorrectly. The "first assistant" of the U.S. Attorney General is not his chief of staff. It's the Deputy AG.

If we go by Jeff Sessions, I guess you have to be breathing.
And will not execute an illegal order. There oath was to the Constitution, not a president.
Levin (who’s legal opinion I trust 100%) says it’s fine.
so the judge can pound sand.
I notice they leave out the part where he says it is written in a US Statute. By putting that in , people might decide to look at the statute themselves and find out that he ( and the NY Post ) are not giving the full story.
Please get your facts straight on this. The U.S. Senate is NOT in recess.
You are right. The President used the Vacancy Reform Act which gives him 210 days before confirmation. Nothing illegal about it.
Sessions was removed because he wouldn’t use the power and authority of his position to protect Trump’s family and sleezy friends from themselves.
Legal nuts and bolts are handled by the Deputy Attorney General, according to DOJ Operations Manual. The AG is a broad policy maker. AGs used to be little more than cronies of the president.
That's why the complaints about the appointment have been so muted -- and they've come almost entirely from lawyers and think-tank types outside of government.
What's Chuck Schumer or Nancy Pelosi going to do -- complain about a vacancy appointment that's been done under an unconstitutional law that they both voted for in 1998? LOL.
FOX is a fraud. They are not our friends. Their election night stunt should prove that. They're nothing more than controlled opposition.
“Threads posting the rantings of someone’s opinion from their twitter should not be even posted.
I mean who cares what this non factor from Fox thinks about anything.”
Let me repeat that....

You NAILED IT! Short, sweet.
Sod off, swampy. Unless you can show me where you’ve been foaming at the mouth over it when Dems used it.
