Desiree Grace is having a good day. So is justice.

[berg80]

With the constant swirl of chaos many of you may have forgotten who Desiree is. She's the person who was in line to take over for Alina Habba after Habba's 120 day, temporary role as the US Attorney for NJ expired. A court in NJ having ruled she could not continue in the role. Here's a refresher to jar your memory.

Pam Bondi fires U.S. attorney whom N.J. judges had named to replace Trump ally Alina Habba​

Well, yes, Pam Bondi stepped in to block what would have been the normal line of succession by firing Desiree. Ostensibly allowing Habba, the consummate trump loyalist and former defense attorney, to continue to run the office. Then justice stepped in.

Judge says Alina Habba, Trump’s top federal prosecutor in New Jersey, not lawfully appointed​

A federal judge on Thursday disqualified acting U.S. Attorney for New Jersey Alina Habba from participating in any ongoing criminal cases lodged by her office, after the lawfulness of her appointment by the Trump administration was challenged in two separate cases.

Judge Matthew Brann said that Habba’s appointment as the interim top federal prosecutor in New Jersey by the administration, “through a novel series of legal and personnel moves,” was not legally valid.

Habba is a former personal lawyer for President Donald Trump.

“The Court concludes that Ms. Habba has exercised the functions and duties of the office of the United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey without lawful authority since July 1, 2025,” wrote Brann in his opinion.

“Her actions since that point may be declared void,” wrote the judge, who sits in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania.

Let's face it. It's not just a good day for Ms. Grace and justice, it's a good day for America. Something you can say every time trump loses.

When will the lawless behavior, endorsed by Pam Bondi, end?

If we allow this to go on, we will have lost the country.

Ummmm expect an over rulling in a few days tard.... these district judges are all running into a brick wall of common sense... judicial overreach...

 

[berg80]

If we allow this to go on, we will have lost the country.

The courts have made a Herculean effort to reign in this out of control, lawbreaking regime. But with judicial appointments stuffed with hacks like Aileen Cannon and Emil Bove, and of course the conservative supremes, it's an uphill battle to maintain any semblance of constitutional order.

You could have said that about the last administration's lawlessness.....but you didn't.

Judge Matthew Brann said that Habba’s appointment as the interim top federal prosecutor in New Jersey by the administration, “through a novel series of legal and personnel moves,” was not legally valid.

One of the personnel moves being Grace having been sacked for no other reason than to clear the way for Habba illegally filling the role.

Being President means he can do this... a judge who doesn't care about being overruled can stop it for a few days only... sooner or later if this doesn't stop the Supreme court will have to do what they warned about two months ago and limit the powers of district courts....

Is Grace still fired?

As another poster said, an asinine move that will be overturned and quickly.

We really need a "three strikes you're out" rule for pipsqueak judges who think being one of over four hundred people on the federal bench makes them more powerful than the President. That kind of delusions of grandeur is disqualifying for any responsible position.

Trump won what four cases just today? No more 500 million dollar fine, Temporary immigration is now temporary and a bunch of Haitians and Venezuelans get to go home, DEI funding is officially revoked…there was one more I think.

Anyway this one will be reversed as well and you will once again eat another loss.

 

[konradv]

You could have said that about the last administration's lawlessness.....but you didn't.

The lawlessness was on Trump’s part, 34 times.

And yet he is one step closer to this case being tossed out... no more conviction... LMAO you dummies... we all told you this was coming....

LAWFARE = BACKFIRE.... lawfare will never work... so dems stop trying it... its killing your party....

All Trump can expect is that the fine will be lowered, but that’s not the case that resulted in 34 felonies.

Everyone tonight so far say the conviction will now be overruled and dismissed... I'm no lawyer but that's what they are saying tonight.. even on MSNBC.....

 

[berg80]

Being President means he can do this

I understand you believe that. You think being prez, or more specifically Dotard being prez, means he gets to do any damn thing he wants regardless of its legality. The judge disagrees.

Be sure to let me know what problems you have with the judges legal reasoning.

Two different cases. So now MAGA is citing MSDNC?!

There is no legal precedent for a case tried in a state court being retroactively moved to federal court. But these are strange times and in trumpworld anything is possible as his appointees continually come up with completely novel legal concepts out of thin air. Like presidential immunity.

 

[Rogue AI]

True, that case has been held up for political reasons. The court has been sitting on that steaming pile far beyond any other case within the same time frame. Those pathetic judges are trying to run out the clock on a judge because they know it will be tossed with the current bench. It is just a matter of time.

An illegal firing? You’re truly ignorant.
