Democrats continue to exert their Stalinist control over the US Courts. They are by every measure an anti-American force that must not regain power.

This story is weird. I guess the Democrats can be infinitely creative in seeking ways to interfere with Trump's mandate from the voters.

I never knew that district judges had this power. Temporary appointment prosecutors serve at the pleasure of the judges? Who can openly state that they did not like the decision about which lawbreaker to prosecute? And congressmen can openly pressure them to do it?

What a topsy-turvy world Democrats and "not Democrats" want to live in!

Kudos to Bondi for immediately terminating Haba's replacement appointed by the court. Desiree Leigh Grace may be a fine prosecutor and completely apolitical. But Attorneys General are political appointees and no, not by the courts, by the president.

Anarchy is all the MAGATs have at this point.

It appears Habba is back at work with a new title for the same job.

In order to keep Habba in the New Jersey prosecutors’ office, the Trump administration reportedly may appoint her to a special position, as it it recently did for another U.S. Attorney, John Sarcone III. The Trump administration named Sarcone as a “special assistant to the attorney general” last week, after judges in the Northern District of New York similarly declined to extend his term. That special assistant role carries the same responsibilities as the U.S. attorney role, the Trump administration said, effectively creating a workaround in order to keep Sarcone in his job. NBC reports the administration intends a similar tactic so Habba remains in New Jersey, but “no specific method has been established yet.” But Tobias told Forbes that if Habba or Sarcone’s authority in such new positions gets challenged in court, it could create long-term problems, as any prosecutions under Habba or Sarcone later could be challenged and found “ not valid,” jeopardizing any of the office’s indictments or convictions.

I have no idea if Habba is the absolute best choice for that role. But I do know that I voted for Trump, and he won, which means he gets to select federal prosecutors who are part of the executive branch of which the President is in charge.

Some federal judge I never heard of has no business taking that away from me.

The Republicans need to ignore this idiotic "blue slip" tradition, which is not based in Constitution nor law.

Maybe it made sense before the Democrats and "not Democrats" lost their minds over Trump. But now, giving veto power to members of the opposing party makes no sense at all.

Federal judges are approved by the Senate, following nomination by the President. The Constitution outlines this process through the Appointments Clause, stating the President "shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint" all federal judges.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

1. Nomination: The President selects a nominee for a federal judgeship.
   
   
2. Senate Judiciary Committee Review: The Senate Judiciary Committee reviews the nominee, holding hearings and questioning them.
   
   
3. Committee Vote: The committee votes on whether to recommend the nominee to the full Senate.
   
   
4. • Senate Vote: The full Senate votes on whether to confirm the nominee.
     
   • Confirmation: If a majority of the Senate votes to confirm, the nominee is appointed.

Yes, Alina Habba was a temporary U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey. Her 120-day term, initially appointed by the president, was expiring, and she was not selected to remain in the position permanently. Federal judges in the district ultimately chose Desiree Grace, her second-in-command, to replace her, according to the New Jersey Monitor.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

• 120-day appointment:
  Habba's initial appointment as acting U.S. Attorney was for 120 days.
  
  
• Judges' role:
  Federal law dictates that if a presidential nominee for U.S. Attorney is not confirmed by the Senate after 120 days, the judges in the relevant district can choose a replacement.
  
• Judges' decision:
  In this case, the judges in New Jersey's U.S. District Court opted to replace Habba with Desiree Grace.
  
  
• Trump administration response:
  The Trump administration initially indicated Grace had been "removed," but she stated she intended to begin her term.
  
  
• Habba's background:
  Habba had no prior experience as a prosecutor before being appointed to the interim position.

Which says nothing about how said Judges have power over the AG's in their Districts.

So, when will Trump and Habba follow the law?

Pretty dumb ******* law.

Which says nothing about how said Judges have power over the AG's in their Districts.

• While it's not accurate to say judges have general "power over" Attorneys General, district court judges do have the authority to make rulings that impact AGs within their specific jurisdiction. For example, if an AG brings a case before a district court, the judge can issue rulings on motions, conduct trials, and ultimately make decisions that the AG must abide by. However, this power is limited to the specific case before the court and doesn't extend to overarching authority over the AG's overall duties or actions outside of the court's jurisdiction.
  
  Here's a more detailed breakdown:
  • Judges preside over cases:
    District court judges preside over cases brought before them, including those involving the AG's office.
    
    
  • Judges interpret the law:
    They interpret and apply the law to the specific facts of the case, which can affect the outcome of the AG's actions in that particular case.
    
    
  • Judges issue rulings and orders:
    Judges can issue rulings on motions, orders for various actions, and ultimately, judgments in the case.
    
    
  • Limited scope:
    This power is limited to the specific case and the jurisdiction of the district court. It does not give judges general control over the AG's actions outside of that context.
    
    
  • AG's role:
    The Attorney General acts as the chief legal officer of the state or the US, representing the government in legal matters.

Pretty dumb ******* law.

It is when it stops Trump from being an authoritarian, which is the kind of government you want, evidently.

There are federal AG's and State AG's. The federal one doesn't represent the State, it represents the Federal DOJ in the State.

These judges need to stay in their own lane.
