Whitaker’s appointment is NOT unconstitutional or invalid. Under the Vacancies Reform Act, the President is authorized to designate as Acting A-G an officer or employee who has been at the DOJ for at least 90 days. Whitaker meets this legal standard.

the supreme court will not take this they know that he is legal under vacancy act

Beware those who seek to chip away at Article II. It’s been going on for 60 years / making Congress a superpower seeking to limit checks and balances

Good luck with that LOOOOOOOSERS. Now COMES the PAIN The Washington Post is the ENEMY

BettyBuckley Well this is what Newt was talking about. They’ll see if working hard for Kavanaugh was worth it

Only POTUS has power

Whitaker could do well working with the WWF. Ask Linda McMahon for a reference.

Whitaker looks perfect in Trump hair..

Remember Kav the Con is there.

You’ve been an adamant supporter of an independent DoJ, WaPo. Now that the independent eval reports out that Whitaker’s appointment complies with laws and practices why are you railing on the other side? It boils down to a hate Trump mindset. Relax. A perm appoint is coming soon.

The Supreme Court is the trump court.

Wow. That separation of powers thing is not very popular with Leftists.

He can always do Mr Clean commercials.

He also shouldn’t be able to serve based on the fact his financial disclosure forms for DOJ Chief of Staff have never been released, against all rules.

Sorry scotus won’t take this case.

They're lawyers, not our own🤫

Did they also ask Supreme Court to declare what food realDonaldTrump needs to eat today? 😃

yawn

America deserves better AG than a small-time ambulance chaser, under investigation for fraud, witness intimidation, who is only at DOJ bc he ingratiated himself w easily influenced POTUS.

Take it to our Supreme Court, Leftists; ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL

Wonder where Kavvy the rapist will vote on this. beerbongwithSqui

The legal challenges to Matthew Whitaker’s appointment mountThree Democratic senators are the latest plaintiffs to claim that the president’s acting attorney-general choice is unconstitutional So obviously appointed to be a political hack that it will be very hard for him to do any hacking. He knows his job will last a month or two but by then the president will have all the inside details of Muller investigations. once tha chaos breaks loose , then he fires this guy and will trash him like he has done to all the people he has used for his political survival.

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.
