Ahead to President-elect Donald Trump’s second term in the White House with GOP control of the House, the Senate, and a conservative majority on the Supreme Court. We’ll talk about any legal pushback over policies or appointments to key positions in his administration.

We know he was embroiled in a sex trafficking investigation under Donald Trump’s DOJ and has been under scrutiny by the House Ethics Committee for alleged sexual misconduct. We should note he’s denied all claims. What we’re hearing about the possibility of recess appointments which would bypass Senate hearings and a vote to confirm—can that happen? And do you think the new majority leader will allow that?Ordinarily, of course, all Cabinet appointments require Senate confirmation.
I think the more important question to ask is why Trump might want to avoid the confirmation process? I think there are essentially three possible reasons. One, the nominees might be too extreme or too off-putting to be confirmed by the Senate; two, he might want to avoid public scrutiny, especially if a nominee has skeletons in their closet; or three, Trump has said that he wants to be a “dictator” and simply resents the idea that there are checks on his power.
But I think that’s not even the extent of the problem we’re looking at. Trump has said that he plans to enlist the military in the process of rounding up and deporting immigrants in the United States. But the Posse Comitatus Act, a federal law, bars members of the military from participating in domestic law enforcement activities. So I fear that we are entering a new era in which government officials will increasingly disobey the law.
