Habba channels trump

[Marener]

First time for everything.

I don't know that a court ever said a term would not continue under any other president. Why would a court have tried to fire a presidential appointee? Unless that president is Trump, of course. Then judges can do anything!

This interference with the President by low-level judges is unprecedented.

The court did not think that Habba is qualified to serve as acting US attorney. Other presidents have appointed qualified people.

Too bad for them. She's Acting US Attorney General.

See them in 120 days . . .

Unless they get lives between now and then.

 

[Marener]

Again, I’d like to know why you think there’s 120 day limit for acting US attorneys in the law.

Clearly the legislation intended to limit how long someone could serve as acting US attorney.

Every case in that district is now going to be challenged on the basis that Habba is not legitimate and could result in dismissals en masse.

 

[struth]

Again, you think the president can keep someone in the position of acting US attorney for four years without ever having to have them confirmed by the senate.

Is that right?

I think the president can fill vacancies under the bill Clinton vacancies act.

 

[Marener]

I think the president can fill vacancies under the bill Clinton vacancies act.

And that vacancy can be filled with the same person for 4 years without being confirmed.

Yes or no?

I see nothing in the law that says it can’t be

No, it limited the length of an appointment as acting US Attorney. It does not - clearly or vaguely - limit the number of 120 day terms a single individual could be appointed to and serve. Second appointment, the clock starts again.

Unless you can point out in the law where it says it does not?

Doubful, unless it was Alina Habba personally appearing in court.

But if some Democratic Judge uses that as an excuse to release some violent scumbag, well I'm sure the voters will remember that in 2026.

Now you need to answer one: What criteria did the court use to determine that Alina Habba is not qualified to be US Attorney?

Where did they find that criteria?

You didn’t answer the question as to the point of the 120 day limit. If they intended for someone to be able to serve indefinitely, then there’s no point to the 120 day limit.

It’s obvious the intent of the legislation would prevent appointing the same person over and over again.

You’d have to ask them. Prosecutions occur under the authority of the US attorney. If that seat is vacant, the prosecution is dismissed.

Well we have to look at the plain meaning of the words in the law. We don’t look at intent unless it’s ambiguous. It’s not. They would have said you can’t reappoint the same one, like they said you can’t appoint someone that failed to get approval by the senate

 

[Seymour Flops]

Nor do I have to. Ask Bill Clinton, he signed the law.

If they intended for someone to be able to serve indefinitely, then there’s no point to the 120 day limit.

If they intended it to be for one 120 day term, and one only, they could have put that into the law.

Why didn't they?

It’s obvious the intent of the legislation would prevent appointing the same person over and over again.

We go by the letter of the law, not the intent.

Otherwise any judge could just say, "well, I think the intent of the law was ______________ and claim it means the opposite of what it says.

You’d have to ask them. Prosecutions occur under the authority of the US attorney. If that seat is vacant, the prosecution is dismissed.

I don't have to ask them. There is no criteria that they used. They don't like Trump or Habba, so they pulled this little stunt.

Is that what you think the law "intends?"

We can certainly go by the intent of what the regime has done. Namely, install Habbadabbadooo as the #2 in the office which doesn't require Senate confirmation, fire Grace who was legally named by the district court as Habba's successor, and leave the #1 position vacant so Habba can run the office. All to enable yet another trump lackey to infest the legal system.

McIver is accused in a three-count indictment of slamming a federal agent with her forearm, “forcibly” grabbing him and using her forearms to strike another agent. Allegations of physical violence by a sitting member of Congress are rare, with a handful of incidents including the pre-Civil War caning of a senator by a member of the House.

McIver’s allies, including two other Democrats who were with her during the incident, have decried the charges as political and have said she was roughed up by federal agents. Her allies are also trying to turn the tables on the federal prosecutor bringing the case, the interim U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, Alina Habba.

The Campaign for Accountability, a liberal watchdog group, filed a complaint this week against Habba with the New Jersey Office of Attorney Ethics.

The complaint alleges Habba has acted improperly since becoming a prosecutor and cites her actions in the McIver case, along with comments about turning “New Jersey red” and announcing investigations into its Democratic governor and attorney general over immigration.

Yikes, what a hack.

Yes, and that is all perfectly legal, and a good workaround for the absurd Lawfare 2.0 that he is experiencing this term.

The first Lawfare, which we did not know would be Lawfare 1.0, tried to criminalize different things Trump did with the cooperation of corrupt Democratic hacks in prosecutorial roles. It was effective in distracting him from his presidential duties, and slowed him down in efforts such as closing the border.

This Lawfare 2.0, which is 800+ federal judges pretending that each and every one of them have the power to set policy for the executive branch as long as someone brings a case, is like New Coke - almost nobody is buying it.

In fact in the Alina Habba (your racist attack on her name noted) matter, no one even brought a case. They just dusted off some obscure law and applied it to deny Trump his choice for US Attorney.

It didn't work. Too bad, so sad, goodbye.

Habba set to remain top federal prosecutor in New Jersey despite ouster by judges​

President Trump’s pick for New Jersey’s top federal prosecutor, Alina Habba, on Thursday said she would continue on in the position despite a judicial decision declining to extend her interim status and instead opting to replace her.

She will literally be laughed out of court if not hauled out by the bailiffs.

This airhead is the one who, when asked if she would rather be pretty or smart replied, "Oh easy. Pretty. I can fake being smart."

BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA!

This bimbo defended Trump during his rape trial, and got her ass kicked. She didn't even know the basics of jury trials.
