Legal scholars need not apply for any position within the Trump administration that requires knowledge of the U.S. Constitution. All you have to be is a pal to Donald J. Trump.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Todd Blanche, who once served as Trump’s criminal defense lawyer, appears to be POTUS 47’s latest pick to be attorney general. He replaces the disgraced Pam Bondi, another dedicated Trumpkin who got canned a few weeks ago.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This is what it’s come down to, as Trump seeks to find “the best people” to fill these posts.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

That’s not good enough, however, for Blanche to assume the role as the “people’s lawyer.”<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I am left to breathe a heavy sigh of disgust.<\/p>\r\n\n
