    Great. During next fascist government, republicans will use the exact same executive order to install ultra-MAGA goons on key military leadership positions.

    In fact trump already tried something similar: remember how many senior positions in his administration were just “acting” traitors? Many times he replaced one acting person with other acting person. DHS leadership during his admin comes to mind as a great example of that.

      Because the thing holding them back now is norms? They’re going to do it already. Why do you think they’re creating so many vacancies. It’s in preparation for 2024.

        Dems will continue to play by the rules and lose. But hey, at least they have the moral high ground while we slip into fascism.

      No the Republicans would not because the Senate can actually vote them down if they want to.

      IMHO, if the president makes an appointment, the Senate is constitutionally required to give their opinion, or they forfeit the right for that appointment.
