Who is this Goldstein guy? And the answer is NO! Whitaker it is!

Trump is the President...no supreme court. Trump is empowered by constitution to appoint.

The appointment of Whitaker is like hiring a life guard who can’t swim. Really CNN, no real reporting who this guy is and his resume. Get off your butt and do some real reporting.

Get a grip. You are not potus....Trump is.

Highly unusual because it won’t happen. Panic mode has hit the Left. Enjoy the show!

Whos Lawyer? Who he think he is ? The president Panic Scare of another alpha Male ?

oh brother

What!? Who do they think they are? We all know Rosenstein should recuse HIMSELF! They are getting quite pushy where they undermine President Trump. Stop wasting our damn money & shut that witch-hunt down!! The People r sick of being taken on a ride by leftists!

I hope it works!

Gee I wonder why. russiahoax

Goldstein isn't the president. He has no say in who serves as a member of the president's cabinet. What an idiot he's going to end up looking like. Can you say Avenatti clone boys and girls? I knew you could! That's what Goldstein is.

That’s it isn’t. TheDemocrats can’t find a tampon large enough to slow the bleed they developed because realDonaldTrump did something they can’t control.

LOL what a joke. Good luck Dems

Imperium delenda est.

Where does the Judiciary get the idea they can tell the Executive Branch of American government how to run its affairs...?!?!?

BRAVO!!! 👍👏🇺🇸

Fake news right here

The president gets to choose the attorney general. Period.

Not going to happen. Rosenstein is a placeholder. He’s gone when Trump appoints new AG.

now that's funny -- did I go to sleep and we elected Goldstein as POTUS -- didn't think so

Yeah.. Good Idea. Let Kavanaugh Decide... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Matthew Whitaker appointment as AG w/o vetting & approval process is another one of 100s foul-up/ illegal actions of Trump/ his team (with Trump's instruction).

Too funny! SCOTUS has zero authority on appointments made at the TheJusticeDept . Aye aye aye. POTUS WhiteHouse

Isn’t it also “highly unusual” to continually call the duly-elected President of the United States, day after day, Hitler, Mussolini, Pinochet, racist, xenophobic, mentally unstable, sexist, Islamophobic, transphobic, homophobic? Yes. Yes, it is. Isn’t it. PeakFakeNews

He is a crook

Supreme Court asked to rule on Trump's choice of Matthew Whitaker as acting attorney generalVeteran Supreme Court litigator Thomas Goldstein filed a motion on an unrelated case late Friday that asks the justices to decide if Whitaker was legally installed as the successor to Attorney General Jeff Sessions. We already know that answer. YES This is such a waste of valuable Supreme Court time, this is a temporary appointment in the short term it means nothing. They need to focus on dire constitutional violations of citizens rights. Just saying they have much more pressing matters to deal with. Thomas Goldstein is a laughing stock now. Yes Mr. Whitaker was legally installed as the new Attorney General.
