tRump will probably use recess appt. for Sec of DHS

[cynatnite]

John Kelly oversaw the oppressive & brutal travel ban at DHS.

You can bet he'll appoint someone just as bad if not worse than John Kelly.

1. I read it is rumored that two scoops is thinking

about moving Sessions to HS?

2. What about John Bolton?

This crossed my mind on the way home.

[Zoonart]

3. Whack as that sounds...

it fits.

[underpants]

8. He'd be a tough confirmation

Remember he was a recess appointment to the UN during the W years and they had to pull him because even Republicans said - no way

[cynatnite]

13. I forgot about that. Interesting. n/t

4. Sheriff Arpaio came to mind...

Damn my brain.

Senate Democrats are warning they will block President Trump from trying to bypass the confirmation process by firing Attorney General Jeff Sessions and appointing a successor during the August recess.

"Let me state for the record now, before this scheme gains wings, Democrats will never go along with the recess appointment if that situation arises," Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Tuesday, amid speculation about Sessions’s future in the administration.

He added that Democrats "have some tools in our toolbox" to block Trump from a recess appointment, which would allow the president to bypass what would likely be a contentious confirmation fight.

9. That's what I've read. Surely, they must, after Gorsuch.

It makes me nauseated to think of anyone he might apoint. Please, let it end soon.

11. I remember...

I know they planned it for the possibility of Sessions getting the boot.

Either way, tRump has pissed off some senators. Don't see how he could get a confirmation for one of his wack jobs, but well there is Devos and Carson.

[Alice11111]

14. He has pissed some off, but most of the Repubs ARE

whack jobs. He wants Cruz for AG, one of the whackiest, most evil of all.

12. There is a God.

7. It seems unlikely the Senate will allow itself to go into recess long enough (10 days)

for that to be permissible.

[Barack_America]

10. Then no recess.

[WhiteTara]

15. Nope. They will remain in a technical session.
