MSNBC’s Weissmann on Gaetz Nomination: America Entering ‘Pure George Orwell 1984 Land’

MSNBC legal analyst Andrew Weissmann said Wednesday on “Deadline” that President-elect Donald Trump’s nomination of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) as his attorney general marks the United States’ entry into “pure George Orwell 1984 land.”...
Apparently he mixed up Off ramp with On ramp:

FTFY: ...exit from “pure George Orwell 1984 land". More like.

Elections have consequences I hope he appoints the most incompetent and destructive idiots possible to these posts. This is what people elected. When the idiot is the smartest man in the room it will be hilarious.

This will be a great 4 years. The senate should just approve every one of his appointments. I'm just waiting so see who's next. Surely Margerie Taylor has to get a cabinet post. Originally Posted by 1blackman1

I didn't even know who this Gaetz dude was but after a quick wiki read, my only thought was, "shouldn't this guy be on probation or in jail somewhere?" It's no longer Make America Great Again, it's now just sit down and watch what a geriatric vengeful child will do when you give him the keys to the castle. LOL
What a joke

LOL... oh I love it... Trump is setting up a test for the RINOs in Congress... approve Gaetz, or he'll become a member of the club by having DeSantis appoint him to the Senate.

I do think there is some stuff going on behind the scenes. Trump made a bargain with Biden.. to look the other way because Trump wants Obama... you know the guy that illegally authorized spying on Trump when Trump was just a candidate and who then greenlit the FBI investigation and FISA lying... yeah, thats the obvious black hand in this butI'm sure there are others in the intel community that need to face justice....

It may not matter. Trump is pushing the senate to defer their judgment in favor of his by allowing recess appointments.

From VOX.

President-elect Donald Trump is pushing for the next Senate majority leader to allow recess appointments, which would allow him to install some officials without Senate confirmation.

Typically, the Senate must approve presidential nominations for high-level posts, including cabinet positions, ambassadorships, and inspector general jobs, in a process outlined in the US Constitution. This procedure is meant to be a check on presidential power — a way of ensuring officials directly elected by citizens can guard against the appointment of unqualified or corrupt personnel.

The Constitution, however, also allows for “recess appointments,” a provision that aims to prevent prolonged government vacancies by allowing the president to install officials without Senate approval while Congress is not in session.

Using such recess appointments, Trump would be able to appoint whoever he’d like without giving the Senate the opportunity to question or object to the pick. Critics of the practice note that it increases the risk of unqualified, corrupt, or ideological appointees filling government posts. It also significantly expands presidential power.

Reinstating recess appointments “would essentially negate one of the Senate’s main roles in governance, which is to vet presidential nominations for high-level positions,” Peverill Squire, a political science professor at the University of Missouri, told Vox. “It would, if the Republicans in the Senate were willing to go along with it, represent sort of an abdication; they would be simply giving up the power that’s afforded them.”

Trump injected his demand into the fierce race to replace Sen. Mitch McConnell as the leader of the Senate, which will be under GOP control next session thanks to the results of last week’s election. Trump largely stayed out of that contest while on the campaign trail, but he waded into it on Sunday, writing on X, “Any Republican Senator seeking the coveted LEADERSHIP position in the United States Senate must agree to Recess Appointments (in the Senate!)”

The three candidates for the position — Sens. John Thune (South Dakota), John Cornyn (Texas), and Rick Scott (Florida) — quickly expressed support for Trump’s demand. Scott, the underdog in the race who is also the closest Trump ally of the three, was the most explicit in his endorsement of the plan, writing “100% agree. I will do whatever it takes to get your nominations through as quickly as possible,” on X.
