Flake's last act: holding up judicial noms until Mueller protection bill passed
Poast new message in this thread
Date: November 14th, 2018 4:24 PM Author: Seedy soggy circlehead orchestra pit @pkcapitol
Flake takes action: He will not vote to confirm any judicial nominee that is already on Senate calendar, and will oppose any judicial nominee in committee, until the Mueller protection bill gets a vote. In 51-49 Senate, that can make McConnell life a tad more difficult.

Look how much of a backlog there is especially for district court. GOP needs every day it can get. |
|
Date: November 14th, 2018 4:56 PM Author: Histrionic self-centered police squad There was talk last year about reducing the time district judges could be held on the floor to only two hours. Kind of a nuclear option for district judges. I recall at the time that only Lamar Alexander opposed among Republican Senators, and McCain's absence prevented them from doing it.
I see no reason they couldn't pass that next Congress and, if so, district court nominees should fly through the Senate.

In both cases, however, there are ways for McConnell to just barrel forward: He can move nominees even if they haven’t been approved by committee, and he could likely keep the Republican conference united on most judicial picks.

Date: December 4th, 2018 4:28 PM Author: anal dark macaca excerpt:
The president is the chief executive, and like it or not, Trump is president. This means he runs the executive branch. “I conceive that if any power whatsoever is in its nature executive,” James Madison declared, “it is the power of appointing, overseeing and controlling those who execute the laws.”
If the president can fire the attorney general — the ill-used Jeff Sessions attests that he can — he certainly can fire Mueller. The attorney general is a much more important position than the special counsel.
In compelling Senate testimony, Yale law professor Akhil Amar explained the constitutional problems with the Mueller protection bill. The special counsel by definition is an inferior officer. Otherwise, he has to be confirmed by the Senate, which Mueller wasn’t. And if he’s an inferior officer, he can be fired.
Amar’s point is that Mueller can’t be an unconfirmed inferior officer in some respects and a hyper-superior officer in others, enjoying protections from his ouster that even cabinet officials don’t enjoy. |
