Head of DOJ’s Civil Rights Division Is Violating Federal Law
Vanita Gupta, the acting head of the U.S. Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, apparently has been working in violation of federal law for more than a year and a half.
That may render all of the official actions she has taken during that period—lawsuits, demand letters, hires, you name it—“void” and of no effect.
To deter presidents from trying to get around the Senate’s constitutional “advise and consent” role in executive branch appointments, Congress passed the Federal Vacancies Reform Act in 1998. A key section of the law sets restrictions and time limitations on how long someone can remain as the “acting” official in a position that must be confirmed by the Senate.
Under the Federal Vacancies Reform Act, when an office that requires Senate confirmation becomes vacant, “the first assistant to the office of such officer shall perform the functions and duties of the office temporarily in an acting capacity subject to the time limitations of section 3346.” The time limitation set by that section is 210 days.
...she was appointed on Oct. 15, 2014, by President Barack Obama.
Obama never actually nominated Gupta to be the assistant attorney general for Civil Rights, nor did he ever recess appoint her into the job.
....every action Gupta has taken since May 13, 2015, may have been of “no force or effect.”
States, towns, businesses, schools, and police officers who have been targeted by Gupta’s Civil Rights Division should realize that they may have a valid defense under the Federal Vacancies Reform Act against any actions taken against them by the division while Gupta has been the acting assistant attorney general.

Oh Lord, he's not going to go away quietly......he'll only make a bigger fool of himself. He should follow the Bush example and be silent.
Obama says he'll speak out against Trump if he thinks US ideals are at risk

Obama claims immunity from lawsuit under 'the king can do no wrong' legal maxim
Beginning in 1991, the FAA collaborated with universities and colleges to create 36 accredited degree programs in diverse Collegiate Training Initiative schools. Then, the FAA hired those with CTI program degrees, references from CTI administrators and "well qualified" rankings on the challenging Air Traffic Selection and Training exam — a validated, proctored, eight-hour, computer-based test.
In 2013, however, to achieve racial diversity — notwithstanding that nearly 12 percent of those attending CTI programs were African Americans — the FAA abandoned that program, "purged" its files of the 2,000 to 3,500 CTI graduates, and began hiring any English-speaking citizen with a high school diploma, while screening new applicants to ensure their racial "diversity."
The lawsuit charges violation of the equal protection component of the due process clause of the Fifth Amendment and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
In response to a class action lawsuit by as many as 3,500 ready-to-hire air traffic controller applicants whose names were "purged" so the Federal Aviation Administration could hire based on race, federal lawyers asserted that the administration is immune from liability for denying constitutional equal protection because of sovereign immunity. In other words, they claim protection by the legal maxim rex non potest peccare, which means, "the king can do no wrong."

Poor Israel. It was only 13 to zero against them, and then we abstained, making it an effective 14 to zero. Do you think there was a reason that the UN voted so heavily against Israel? Use that NASA brain and think about it.
Easily won the primary maybe....

He would have defeated Trump handily. Trump himself is the best joke for 2016, and Obama is pulling his chain every chance he gets.

Will it be a blooper when Trump gets stuck using the same vehicle, or do you not realize it will be carried over.
