As Media Adds to ‘Bump Stock’ Confusion, Attorney Asks Fundamental Question


It’s of particular significance because Senate Democrats have filed a lawsuit claiming Acting AG Matthew Whitaker is legally not qualified to serve in that capacity and a “win” for them could conceivably invalidate everything he signs, including the “bump stock ban.” [More]
Did the “bump stock” ban memo go out as reported and who signed off on the rule? Acting AG Whitaker? And what happens to rules he signs if the Democrat lawsuit disqualifies him as ineligible for that position?

Almost certainly the same thing that happens to bills signed by a president who is ineligible to hold that position, or to the paychecks of federal employees during a period that the federal government is "shut down" -- that is to say, nothing at all.
