"The purported firings violated unambiguous federal statutes -- each enacted by bipartisan majorities in Congress and signed into law by the President -- to protect Inspectors General from precisely this sort of interference with the discharge of their critical, non-partisan oversight duties," they said in the lawsuit."

That video in #1 is the best 5 mins on this entire subject I've seen... Rep Casar of Texas is a dynamic advocate for democracy, and his is a tour de force taking down every excuse the Republicans are making.

Which is mostly the Red Herring that 'someone needs to look into Gov waste', which is of course a distraction from the FACT that the guy doing it is getting 8 million dollars a day in Gov contracts.
