This is comical. August 2017 @SenBlumenthal @SenWhitehouse co-sponsored bill to ensure action by AG or ACTING AG was reviewed by federal judges. Today they’re suing saying Acting AG appointment is unconstitutional🤣

In fact they even bragged that the bill they were trying to pass would PREVENT @realDonaldTrump from using the vacancies act. So earlier this year Democrats knew this was an option but now they’re saying it’s unheard of? GTFO.
So what changed @SenBlumenthal you knew an Acting AG would have the exact same power as Sessions and wanted to prevent that but now you say Acting AG appointment is illegal? 😂🤣😂🤣😂

Perhaps the best argument about this bill was raised by @senorrinhatch who reminded Senate they’d been down this road before and reminding them it is “NEVER appropriate for Congress to contravene the Constitutions separation of powers”

Democrats KNOW Acting AG can be appointed by @realDonaldTrump @RepJerryNadler made an entire speech about it and called it a fear in September of this year. Yet now they want us to believe it’s outrageous.
