Maryland AG Frosh to challenge Trump's choice of acting attorney general as 'unconstitutional'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Maryland Attorney General Brian Frosh filed a motion Tuesday in federal court challenging President Donald Trump's appointment of Matthew Whitaker as acting U.S. attorney general after the ouster last week of Jeff Sessions.

Frosh’s motion in the U.S. District Court in Baltimore argues the appointment is “illegal and unconstitutional” and contends that Deputy U.S. Attorney General Rod Rosenstein should be declared the acting attorney general.

Rosenstein, a former U.S. attorney for Maryland, is overseeing special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into possible ties between the 2016 Trump campaign and the Russian government.

Frosh’s filing comes in the state’s existing lawsuit seeking to uphold provisions of the Affordable Care Act that protect people with pre-existing medical conditions when they seek insurance.

1. Lawrence Tribe and others said that this is pretty clear cut.

It was confusing to me though. Somehow the constitutionality of the ACA is even involved. Here we go again.
