#YouAreFired


So, the person in charge, got permission, from the court, to fire someone he didn't want and hire someone he did.

"Look, will you guys at leats accept that you are a bunch of dumb asses and just trust me on this one? Please?" BarryP 7/30/2012

Just like Trump said, we're all be getting tired of all his winning.

Leaving aside all the lunacy about "Pocahontas" coming from the man currently occupying the Oval Office, Richard Cordray and Leandra English (and Elizabeth Warren, who squawked the loudest at Mick Mulvaney's appointment as acting director of the CFPB) didn't have a legal leg to stand on. The president clearly had the authority to fill that slot in accordance with the Vacancies Act, OR let the CFPB head at the time (Cordray) fill it under the provisions of Dodd-Frank. But it was always the president's choice, a legal precept made clear in two previous cases of a similar nature, with one out of the liberal 9th Circuit, even. Dodd-Frank's appointment authority explication is also hopelessly vague, something that matters greatly in considering legal actions.

Cordray appointing his chief of staff as acting director, in order to prevent the president from filling the slot in what is still an agency of the Executive Branch (the president names the director, after all), was a cheap stunt and doomed to failure. Elizabeth Warren -- who supposedly is a pretty smart attorney (and a law professor at Harvard) -- should have known that that provision of Dodd-Frank wasn't controlling in cases where the Chief Executive has power over agencies that fall within his purview, especially when it comes to vacancies that are permanent in nature, such as resignation of agency heads, which is what Cordray did (resign). But maybe she isn't so smart after all.

Bottom line: to believe that Leandra English, a Democrat, is the legal and rightful acting director of CFPB, you need to also believe that Cordray (another Democrat) -- who is the now-ex-director of CFPB -- has more authority under the federal law to appoint his successor than the current president of the United States does. It's so preposterous that only a truly committed far-left ideologue could believe it so in this particular case. Even the CFPB general counsel (its attorney) agreed, saying that POTUS had the authority to appoint the acting director, NOT Cordray.

As for English -- who actually sued the president in seeking to be the acting director of the CFPB -- she should be fired immediately for insubordination. She should have been fired for insubordination when she filed suit. She had no protection under whistleblower statutes and none under any sort retaliation-type statute, as far as I can see, either. That the Orange-Haired Wonder didn't do that maybe shows that more calculating (and smarter legal) minds are at work over at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. For once! ;-)
