Lindsey Halligan illegally appointed

[Missouri_Mike]

If you can just keep appointing interim US attorneys, you circumvent the constitutional requirement for advice and consent of officers.

Where does not holding the confirmation hearings fall in here? If you aren’t going to do that in a timely manner then he can just keep posting temps.

 

[Marener]

It says they can appoint someone until the vacancy is filled. I dont see anything in there preventing another interim from being appointed. What youre suggesting is that a court could place someone and a president couldn't fire them.

They can appoint someone for 120 days. After that, the court decides. If the president fires them, the court decides again or the first assistant takes over.

It wouldn’t make any sense for the law to allow the president to keep appointing new interim US attorneys. That would allow the president to completely circumvent the constitutional requirement to advise and consent.

As we all learned, Congress has no requirement to hlld confirmation hearings on anyone the president nominated.

How is it Constitutional for the court to decide?

By your logic any opposition party could simply not hold confirmation hearings for 120 days and work with the courts to get who they want. That makes presidential appointments null and void.

That’s the law that Congress wrote. That’s what makes it constitutional.

Don’t like it? Nominate someone who doesn’t suck.

We don’t know they suck, the democrats won’t hold confirmation hearings.

 

[g5000]

The democrats obstructed and slow-walked Trump's nominees.

1. As if the Republicans did not do the same to Biden and Obama.

2. Horseshit! Trump does not put his nominees up for confirmation because he knows they are unqualified and won't pass confirmation, even with the deck stacked with Republican lickspittles.

See post 2.

I don’t know if you know this, but Republicans control the senate. They control the process.

We know Lindsey Halligan sucks, and so does Alina Habba and Sigal Chattah.

Erik Seibert didn’t suck.

A conservative right winger whining about not holding confirmation hearings is pretty ironic.

Quick search and bam, the answers to your questions.

The minority party in the Senate can delay confirmation hearings through various procedural tactics, leveraging Senate rules to slow down the process
. While the majority party can eventually push nominations forward, these tactics impose a time cost that can be significant when the Senate has a large number of nominees to consider.

I dont see anything preventing it, but ill take your word for it. Let's see what the courts do with it. She's been there since sometime in september....and were just now hearing about it?

Again, the thing preventing it is that it would allow the president to bypass the constitution. That’s what presents it.

Courts have already thrown out cases under the illegally appointed Habba and Chattah.

As much as you guys are trying, you can’t edit out Congress yet.

This administration is quite content running things as they see fit with the minimal amount of input from Congress.

Again, I've made my feelings on this administration known. it's no secret that i'm not a fan of trump. But let's be realistic, they're not the only ones who have tried to skirt congress.

To this extent? It’s unparalleled.

Did you know the US is now at war with drug cartels? I don’t remember when Congress authorized that.

Yes to this extent. About 99% of the things that government does is unconstitutional, this means someone somewhere is running afoul of Congress and the Constitution.

Would you not consider the cartels, a foreign enemy? The war on drugs is not going to be won with ad campaigns on television. Our current method, he isn't even making a dent in it. Mexico and other drug producing. countries seemed to be unwilling or incapable. to help stem the flow of these drugs. Somebody somewhere has to do something right?

Trump already made an appointment for a temporary US Attorney, Erik Seibert. He doesn’t get to keep appointing new attorneys every 120 days.

He does if Schumer keeps obstructing, Simp.
