Considering congress is saying nuh uh you cant make him acting AG, he might not be acting AG for long.

Do you have a source on this? I've heard Schumer complaining about it, but Republicans seemed predictably okay with it.

Basically appointing Whitaker under the Vacancies Reform Act was a violation of the Constitution.

The Vacancies Reform Act specifically does not mention the DoJ as one of the agencies that can have spots filled by vacancy appointments at the sole discretion of the President.

There's a clearly delineated line of succession to the post of Attorney General, and Trump took a big poo poo all over that.

U.S. Code › Title 28 › Part II › Chapter 31 › § 508
(a) In case of a vacancy in the office of Attorney General, or of his absence or disability, the Deputy Attorney General may exercise all the duties of that office, and for the purpose of section 3345 of title 5 the Deputy Attorney General is the first assistant to the Attorney General. (b) When by reason of absence, disability, or vacancy in office, neither the Attorney General nor the Deputy Attorney General is available to exercise the duties of the office of Attorney General, the Associate Attorney General shall act as Attorney General. The Attorney General may designate the Solicitor General and the Assistant Attorneys General, in further order of succession, to act as Attorney General.

Trump basically is trying to slide around this little bit of USC and hope nobody makes too much of a fuss about it, the whole purpose of the above code is to prevent the president from firing the AG in the event of an investigation of the Executive Branch, and then appointing a toady to kill the investigation.

I got an angry avatar in TFR the other day because I think it’s reasonable for a pediatrician to talk to parents about safe firearm storage and the hazards of mixing guns and children.

The NRA will scream about all the non-gun culture war items then flip the gently caress out when a doc says you shouldn’t leave guns out around your kids.

You figure that Sky Shark of all people would appreciate locking up your firearms in a place where gun thieves kids couldn’t get to them.

November 21st is 40 weeks after valentines day. Any later than the 22nd and you can't be in the scorpio kewl crew.

Did you seriously just realize this? Because I found out in grade school when a teacher called me a valentines baby. My older brother was dads' birthday sex. My younger brother is a new years-ish baby.

Apparently that shooter was in my company back in '09 and got dropped before the deployment (likely not for cause, they wound up cutting a ton of boots people right up until we left).

I don't recognize him at all.

Reminder: Snoop Dogg replied to one of Notch's despairing tweets with an invitation to smoke up with him. Notch declined.

I am neither a software-made billionaire or a pot smoker but you bet your rear end if Snoop Dogg asked me to :350: with him I'd be there.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
