(38,436 posts)Most will, but some won't. Why do I say this?..If/when that happens, there will be an uproar beyond what we have seen...and some in the elephant party will not go along..Why?...because that action is wrong...totally wrong.
This bill to take down the ACA was wrong. If was hurtful and kills. Similarly, firing Mueller is also dangerous and awful...So, let's see, will Senator Flake support this ? After Drumpf has gone after Flake?..
There are others, who will not stand by the Con if/when this happens. Not many, but some in the GOP know the truth about Drumpf...Because the truth is so obvious and clear...That is what I believe...

My guess is that NYAG will pursue a state law action.

(16,104 posts)A replacement for Sessions would have to get through Senate confirmation - and you can be firing would be a major issue!
Nixon tried this end around similarly - and it was another nail in his impending impeachment.
