The White House has found a novel way to ensure Donald Trump’s nominees ascend to power.
Federal judges in the Western District of Washington swore in former King County Superior Court Judge Roger Rogoff as U.S. attorney Wednesday morning. Within 54 minutes, Trump fired him.
The district’s 17 federal judges have been trying to find a replacement for Seattle’s First Assistant U.S. Attorney Neil Floyd, after Trump failed to formally nominate him. Floyd was appointed in October, though his name was never officially advanced to the Senate for consideration.
Federal law grants a district’s judges the power to appoint a U.S. attorney if the president and the acting attorney general fail to do so within 120 days, subsequently stonewalling the procedural Senate hearings.
Not really, it’s just a summary of the necessity to put up with hardship, the easiest form of it, because they couldn’t take the easy path.
This opinion that we don’t understand because we’re outsiders is just another example of Americans expecting understanding they don’t offer others, over a problem that now threatens the entire world because they couldn’t vote.
Nice story, but it adds nothing. We know they’ll lose jobs and healthcare. It’d take two weeks for a shutdown in just the cities to get Congress acting, but don’t expect any sympathy from outsiders when we just keep getting more, longer excuses implying we don’t understand.
We understand all right; it’s a selfish population of individualists who only start caring when their own shit pile is harmed. Then they’ll probably try and run.
