Fox's Judge Napolitano insisting Whitaker is not legally AG

which is why he did NOT take the Oath of Office.
Has Lindsey Graham had anything to say about the firing of Sessions? He usually an eager interview following things like this. Makes one wonder if Lindsey may be trying to avoid a Senate loss to Nikki Haley and will take the AG job so that McMaster can appoint Haley to fill his Senate seat in the interim. Who knows what the volatile and unpredictable Trump will do.

Justice Clarence Thomas disagrees.

“Appointing principal officers under the FVRA . . . raises grave constitutional concerns because the Appointments Clause forbids the President to appoint principal officers without the advice and consent of the Senate.” Justice Clarence Thomas. Justice Thomas rejected any potential exception to the Appointments Clause’s requirements, saying “I do not think the structural protections of the Appointments Clause can be avoided based on such trivial distinctions.”

You will blindly like any Repub. You have no thoughts on any issue. You have very little brain function.

I saw an interview with Graham on election night (on NBC). He was asked if he was interested in being AG and he emphatically said, "NO".

See, it doesn't matter who says it or on which network it's said. If you allow, all networks will lead you astray. There's more, take a little control over your mind and go read it yourself.
