The appointments clause is more than a matter of etiquette or protocol.

It is among the significant structural safeguards of the constitutional scheme.

The clause not only serves as a bulwark against one branch aggrandizing its power at the expense of another, but also preserves another aspect of the Constitution's structural integrity by preventing the diffusion of the appointment power.

Translate that for me.

Well, it was good.

It was good.

But put it in layman's terms.

OK, the reason that it would the things were brought in the first place is because Donald Trump wanted to go after James Comey and A.G.

He has talked extensively about the fact that he believes that they are criminals, that he believes they have something coming to them.

care about the law.

He doesn't care about process and protocol.

He is trying to re-engineer the federal government, specifically the Justice Department, to serve his petty whims and grievances.

That is it.

That is what matters to Donald Trump.
