Cuccinelli rwefuses to quit.
https://occupydemocrats.com/2020/03/02/cuccinelli-2/Trump's Crony in Homeland Security Refuses to Quit After Judge Rules He Was Illegally Appointed
After a federal judge ruled in a rare Sunday decision that Ken Cuccinelli — the acting deputy secretary of the Department of Homeland Security — was illegally appointed to his position, the partisan Trump appointee has said that he will refuse to leave his post despite the court ruling.
U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss issued a 55-page decision yesterday that concluded that “Cuccinelli was not lawfully appointed to serve as the acting Director of USCIS” and, even more crucially, determined that the policies that the improperly appointed acting Director mandated regarding the treatment of asylum seekers “must be set aside.”
Judge Moss based his decision on the evidence that the appointment of the former Virginia Attorney General and failed candidate for governor of that state did not meet the requirements of the Federal Vacancies Reform Act of 1998.
Cuccinelli told Fox and Friends today that he would simply ignore the judge’s decision while appealing the ruling.
