I once had sauce as week as that article, I think it's better known as water. That **** was laughable. I can't imagine you read that and were impressed by the magnitude of Obama's Constitutional violations?

I think it helps illustrate how desperate @Heathme is to find a way to say Obama was just as bad as donnie.

It's kinda cute in a way. It's like how you spend hundreds of dollars over the course of a year on food and treats for your dog, and the dog pays you back by leaving a dead bird in your shoe.

Jeff Sessions has been fired. What happens next? Prominent Republicans such as Lindsey Graham have previously said they would raise hell if Trump were to do this. I will be surprised if that's the case.

 
It's about damn time. I don't see why any sitting president would continue to keep someone on staff that they feel is undermining their ability to be successful. I may not agree with it, but it's his right.

Why would they care? It's Trump's position to fill.

Because that position has oversight of the Mueller investigation, which Sessions recused himself from. Trump has previously expressed disappointment in Sessions because he believes the AGs role is to protect him. The acting AG has previously stated he would limit the special counsels budget to the point it would be completely ineffective, and that he views the presidents finances as outside the purview of the special counsel. This isn't about whether or not the president has the power to decide who is AG (of course he does), it's about Trump installing a toady to head the DOJ who will protect him from his crimes.

Not necessarily. Depends on motive. The president is NOT legally allowed to fire someone (like FBI director, or attorney general, cabinet secretary, etc.) whom he would normally be allowed to fire, if the motivation in doing so is something illegal such as obstruction of justice or failing to press charges against people he has personal grudges against, or members the opposition party, etc. See this article, for example: https://www.quora.com/Who-exactly-c...et-members-senators-governors-congressmen-etc

Ah I see. Makes sense. But ya, of course they'll do nothing.
