Previous Justice Departments have recognized that district judges have the authority to name a United States attorney if the president's nominee is not acted upon by the U.S. Senate within 120 days. With prodding from the mentally challenged U.S. senator from New Jersey ...

... the collective federal judges in New Jersey (most of them appointed by Obama & Biden, of course) chose not to retain Alina Habba as New Jersey's top federal prosecutor after her interim term expired. It was a purely political move on their part ... 'cuz Ms. Habba is Trump's choice and ORANGE MAN BAD, don'tcha know. In her stead, these black-robed activists chose to elevate Desiree Leigh Grace in her place in an overt attempt to thwart Trump's preference. But, in the end, it didn't work out so well for Dipshitacus and the left-wing judges of New Jersey ...
Activist judges in New Jersey got their way temporarily. They successfully got Alina Habba to step down as the interim U.S. Attorney General of New Jersey. They then installed Desiree Leigh Grace as the state's top federal prosecutor. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi then removed Grace. This cleared the way for Donald Trump to yank Habba’s pending nomination and instead name her the ACTING U.S. Attorney General of New Jersey. Whew!
Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) ~ 🚨 BREAKING - THEY LOST: New Jersey liberal justices succeeded in making Interim U.S. Attorney Alina Habba step down.
And she was just appointed as ACTING US Attorney for New Jersey.

It was a complicated series of events, but Trump ultimately got what he wanted.
Paul A. Szypula (@Bubblebathgirl) ~ Activist judges are some of the dumbest people in the country. They can’t think beyond a few steps.
Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) ~ They WAY overestimate the power and influence they actually have.
rowdyamerican (@rowdyamerican45) ~ The system hates when you outsmart it. Well played, Trump!
Mike Scott (@mscott_1) ~ This was a great move! Checkmate!
Mike Scott (@mscott_1) ~ I voted for this! 😂😂
Any other Republican president would have rolled over.
Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) ~ The leftist elite in New Jersey are going to lose their SH*T over this! 🤣
Professor Duke (@DukishDog) ~ I can see the mushroom cloud from their heads exploding from here ...

Crushing Woke Culture (@CrushWokeAgenda) ~ They tried to force her out. Trump just moved her up.
Alina Habba went from Interim to Acting U.S. Attorney in the blink of an eye, because that’s what happens when you don’t fold under pressure.
Checkmate, again.
Alina Habba’s term as acting U.S. Attorney General of New Jersey expires in 210 days.
Hopefully, the U.S. Senate will confirm Ms. Habba within that time period.
