NE Confirmation Hearing: rpryor for emergency prosecutor (confirmed)

[SUSAN CRUSHBONE]

the governor has nominated rpryor to prosecute swe in relation to his attempt at secession.

debate will last 72 hours; representatives may ask rpryor any relevant questions during this time.

[SUSAN CRUSHBONE]

rpryor, why do you think you would be the right person for this job?

[SUSAN CRUSHBONE]

So you can be prosecutor and Senator at the same time? If that's so, I'll support you.

Unfortunately, I don't think he can.  It violates the federal constitution to hold two offices simultaneously, other than a carve-out for Senators holding federal cabinet positions.  That there is a confirmation hearing pretty much assures that special prosecutor is an office.

tbh i'd just continue the proceedings and see if someone prosecutes

representatives have 48 hours to vote on the confirmation of rpryor

[SUSAN CRUSHBONE]
