Never in the history of our republic has something like this gone down. The "Administration" has requested that ALL, yes, ALL 46 remaining Attorney's General appointed by Obama RESIGN their posts, WITHOUT HAVING ANY REPLACEMENTS. Talk about cutting the head off the judiciary and removing checks and balances. This is the kind of thing Govt's we mock do, not the kind of thing we do, until now. No reason given, none expected, just an over reach of the executive branch to get rid of any Obama appointee. I"m feeling sick.

This is just not a decision that can be defended IMHO. It's a blatant power grab so that people can be put in place to further erode the system of checks and balances that is at the core of our system of Govt. It's a sad day for "Democracy" sad.gif

I read this is very normal in USA, every president did this but the only difference with Trump is he took such action in a hurry while previous president gave a few months.

I am sad about Bharara, he was working on a case that involved Turkey and the current goverment that I don't support.

News from the US has become extremely interesting recently so I have started following it.

Just a random thought from me as uninformed: If it turns out the new administration is actually just a plain attack from Russia - and Trump gets condemned for treason etc etc. Will this also mean that his executive orders (etc) get revoked?

Not like this Mertay. Usually, there is a transition period where the old guys stay in until new guys can be confirmed, and each one has to be replaced after getting approved by congress. This is NOT what is happening. They are ALL simply being asked to resign NOW and there are NO REPLACEMENTS FOR THEM!!!!!


When Clinton did this, they allowed the old guys to stay on til they had someone to take over.

" President Bill Clinton’s attorney general, Janet Reno, asked for resignations in March 1993, but allowed U.S. attorneys to stay in place until their replacements could be confirmed."
http://www.politico.com/story/2017/03/jeff...ignation-235940


That's what I mean by "never before in the history of the republic". They are just getting rid of all of them, with nobody to take over. This leaves a MASSIVE power vacuum in the judicial system and creates an artificial need for expediency in pushing through new candidates. This is EXACTLY what I fear Trump wants. he wants to create this power vacuum so that his appointees can slide right through. Don't get me wrong It's a shrewd political move, bordering on brilliant even, it's just not good for our overall govt imho.

It's humiliating to be honest. sad.gif If it turns out that Trump is really Putin's B***H, I have no idea what will happen.

Looks fun Ill try that. Not "Wrong", it's ....


RRRIIIIIGGGGGGHHTT


The problem, as I mentioned, is that he asked for resignations and didn't allow them to stay until replacements were in place. Thus creating a judicial vacuum, thus ensuring quick uptake on whoever questionable judge he throws in to the pit, just to get someone in to the job. You must have missed that bit. I did say it was clever, but it's still an attack on the basic checks and balances of our govt.

Check your sources and share them please. smile.gif Clinton allowed them to stay until replacements were approved. If you read my entire post you'd have noticed that but I'm guessing you didn't?

So yeah, I'm calm, just a bit sick. It's the not letting the resigned folks stay in their jobs til the replacement is in place that is UNPRECEDENTED.

Todd

This is business as usual, every president does it when a new one comes in. The seats are not vacant, so nothing in the courts is going to stop because those vacancies are temporarily filled by the deputy attorneys of the judges that have resigned, or have been fired, or the seats will be temporarily filled by others from within the US Attorneys Office. For example, Preet Bharara's seat will be filled temporarily by Deputy US Attorney Joon Kim.
Todd, you seem to be the only one freaking out about this. Every article I have read on the matter reports that this is common practice when a new administration comes in. Even the Huffington post.

I am starting to feel like a broken record here, but here we go again sad.gif This is NOT in fact business as usual. Business as usual is letting the folks who are resigning stay in their seats and do their job til their replacement takes over. That's biz as usual as it's been done for decades.

Trump is the first one to demand resignations and NOT allow the folks leaving to stay in their chairs. That is what makes this different. I don't know how else to say it. It's not the way it's been done for many decades now. Read this quote from REUTERS.
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trum...e-idUSKBN16I0PZ

""President Trump's abrupt and unexplained decision to summarily remove over 40 U.S. attorneys has once again caused chaos in the federal government," New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, a Democrat, said.
Senator Patrick Leahy, a Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said the firings showed "the independence of the Justice Department is at risk under this administration" and that lawmakers had to carefully evaluate Trump's replacements.
"

So yeah, it's not just me. Reuters and the other news wire services have been covering these for the past several news cycles as it is simply unprecedented to do what he did in this way. Yes, it's common to ask for resignations for a new adminstration. But NO, it's not common to ask for them all at once without letting the previous folks keep their seats til their replacements are confirmed.

As the quote from Senator Patrick Leahy states (he sits on the senate Judiciary committee) "The Firings showed the independence of the justice depart is at risk under this administration". So we have a guy on the senate Judiciary comt. saying the same thing I'm saying. Not to mention the major news/wire services reporting on it daily

Again, shrewd move to be sure, but a clear attack on an independant judiciary as mentioned by a member of the Judiciary comt.

I can side with you that it is faster than normal, but not illegal , hence if the fathers that implemented the president from firing them , they would have known someday someone would fire all . They would have had language from stopping a complete house cleaning if they thought there was a problem . They did not because THERE IS NOT A CRISIS . Rich and I are just trying bring off your perch of chicken littleness

I never once said it was illegal. Where on earth did you get the idea that I was asserting that this was illegaL?

Uggh. Despite your insight to the founding fathers, what I find disturbing, again, is that the administration didn't do, what every other administration has done, and allowed for a smooth transition of the judiciary. of course they all had to go. That's how it works. But he could have let them stay til their replacements were confirmed, just as every other president has done.

By not doing so, he creates a judicial power vacuum where the case load on those beneath the ones let go is now increased. I'm not saying the sky has fallen, or is falling. Nothing of the sort. I simply agree with the folks I quoted in my last post, including a member of the Judicary comt., who feel that this action destabilizes one of the branches of govt and was not necessary at all. That's all I've said, repeatedly. Doesnt' seem to get through though. But it is what it is.

On a side note, the new GOP health care plan looks like it's going to shaft the very folks who voted trump in to office. It's Ironic. Sad, but Ironic. here is a link to an article on CNBC (hardly a left wing blog)
http://www.cnbc.com/2017/03/09/the-republi...mps-voters.html

When similar things happen in Turkey we usually wait a bit to see what was planned after judging the results (if cannot be understood from the begining). Ofcourse if this is something like that.

To accomplish (dirty) grand plans, polticians use legal but unconventional loop holes that may look un-important, avoidable at first. I'd say do follow the results but look for a specific goal on the Trump side if you want to make an impact as a voter/citizen to others when the time comes.

Well said smile.gif This is a clever move by Trump that will create a sort of political momentum . for his nominees to get pushed through IMHO which is why I think he did it. By the time he picks them, the overworked underlings will be stretched very thin and congress will likely just want the seats filled. So the entire judiciary gets to swing a bit toward the right for a while.

As I've said, our system is resilient if nothing else, so not mater what happens, it can be undone in a decade or two. Once the folks that voted him in to office start seeing that they are going to be getting less health benefits, things are going to get tense. Of course, some folks are saying that the "Marketplace Solutions" will work out and save everyone, but that sure didn't help us before the affordable care act. Trickle down economics is a myth and sadly, it's coming back as an "Alternative Fact" smile.gif

Yes that new health care plan proposal seems absolutely unbelieveable. Trump promised everybody would be covered, even those who couldn't afford it. And now it seems 10-20 million will loose coverage if it goes through. Can they get away with this kind of stuff in the US?

As an outsider though, I must say the Russia connection is the most scary. From here it looks like you have been invaded on the highest level, without fully realising it yet. This is modern warfare. Feels unreal!

I believe this started with the travel bans. Its too naive even for him to expect people let that happen. During those days instead of following public opinion of children handcuffed in the airport, probably his advisors followed tweeter accounts of key people.

Its like before someone has to move something very heavy, he/she pushes a bit to see if its actually movable.

They can get away with just about anything at this point as the Republican party has the Presidency, both houses of congress, soon to be most of the Judiciary, etc. In short, nearly impossible to stop big policy changes from being rammed through, no matter how bad they seem or who they will hurt. It's sad that the people who trusted in him are going to lose coverage by the millions.

The russian ambassador that has been in the news of late is not only a known spy, but also a spy recruiter. He has diplomatic immunity so he can do whatever he wants and nobody can touch him.

Also, We still have not seen any tax records for our commander in chief, for the first time since the 70s, so we don't really know where his money is all coming from.It just doesn't bode well for trusting the man.

However, despite all this he enjoys strong support of nearly half the nation. On might even say Zealotous support of about half the nation. But like I said before, the system we have is resilient and no matter what it always evens out eventually. Or at least, it always has so far smile.gif

He has shown himself to be a master of controlling the narrative, via Twitter. Also a shrewd politician. You have to give it to him for being able to get the pulse of the country and ride the wave of populist cynicism and suspicion all the way to the white house.

The travel bans are just the start. What's funny is that it's been 10 years since we had an attack on our soil from any of the countries in the ban. it was just red meat for his "base". He said he would do it, and he did it, and his supporters loved it.

I don"t think he promised " Everybody " ( I could be wrong , if you can find a sound bite in context I will gladly eat crow ) , But he did promise coverage to pre existing . Yes the GOP are Screwin health care up this up at this point but I don"t it will pass like it is . It is Ryan 's plan not trump's . If they don't get there act together they will pay at mid terms

Time will tell . Trump being putins beotch is tin foil hatery. You don't seem like you have an opposing source so you can at least blend them to come to a logical conclusion

In fact, yes, he did promise "everybody" and he confirmed it in an interview with the washington post.

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/donald-trump-p...-for-everybody/

taking the liberty of using CBS news here referencing the interview article. After all, it's an interview with verified quotes, not an op ed bit.

Time will tell . Trump being putins beotch is tin foil hatery. You don't seem like you have an opposing source so you can at least blend them to come to a logical conclusion


Have you missed all the Russian connection scandals within his staff? Or the confirmed Russian intervention during the campaign? Why is it so far fetched to think that Trump himself has connections as well - given that he still seems to defend his closest staff who lied about their Russian connections. Trump is also openly very Putin friendly. 1+1=2

I do think Putin is a bit disappointed on him though, since this might blow back on Trump soon, given the way he handles the situation. This is also seems to be reflected by the change of attitude towards Trump in Russian Media (they were very positive to him in the beginning).

In fact, yes, he did promise "everybody" and he confirmed it in an interview with the washington post.

The question is rather what didn't he promise? Everyone was going to get everything.

This is why people asked Trump if he had a specific plan before the election. Personally I would never vote for someone who promises me everything but cannot clarify how he will make it possible. I guess I learned that the first time I encountered a scam guitar course on the Internet, promising I would instantly become the best guitarist in the world if only I would pay $60.

If it sounds to good to be true, it usually is!

Like every politician including Clinton and sanders . I was well aware not to buy into either ones promise . The only thing I knew he could do was supreme court justices and build a wall to stop the flow of illegals. I never thought we would even have mass deportation, but we have to stop people coming into our country we know nothing about ( Sweden knows that right , how many muslim " no go zones " do you have now ) . You guys really need to try to stop perceiving why I voted for him , just ask me
