A federal appeals court Monday declined to reconsider a three-judge panel's decision to uphold Alina Habba's disqualification as the top federal prosecutor in New Jersey, paving the way for the case to be heard before the Supreme Court.
The three judges issued the ruling last month, finding that Habba, who previously served as President Donald Trump's personal lawyer, was unconstitutionally appointed after her interim appointment expired without Senate confirmation.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit said in a short order that the judges who gave the ruling last month did not ask to rehear the case, and that the majority of judges in the 3rd Circuit voted against putting the matter in front of the full court.
Three of the court's judges did rule in favor of hearing Habba's case, but it needed a majority of the 11 judges to hear the case. One judge is expected to issue a dissent, according to The Hill.
The Justice Department has attempted to keep Habba in her interim role after the appointment expired, but the former attorney stepped down in December. ...............

Appeals court won’t reconsider Habba disqualification, paving way to Supreme Court

A federal appeals court has declined to reconsider a three-judge panel’s decision to uphold Alina Habba’s disqualification as the top federal prosecutor in New Jersey, paving the way for the Justice Department to take President Trump’s fight to retain loyalist U.S. attorneys to the Supreme Court........................
Judge Emil Bove, another of Trump’s former attorneys who was appointed by the president to the bench, did not take part in the vote.
The decision keeps intact the panel’s ruling that Habba’s tenure became unlawful when she remained in the role after her 120-day interim term expired, despite the “novel series of legal and personnel moves” the administration took to keep her in the job.
........................
The Virginia prosecutor, Lindsey Halligan, is reportedly no longer with the Justice Department after resigning last week. A judge barred her from “representing herself as the United States Attorney in any pleading or otherwise before this Court until such time as she may lawfully hold the office either by Senate confirmation or appointment by this Court … should either occur.”..................

Greg Bovino getting pulled out of Minnesota to terrorize another community is not accountability. At all.
I fear for the residents of the next big Dem city he is going to.

Trump post about nyc..........."There's a very obvious message here"....
Several hundred posts--oh I kid but there are a lot.
Actually, it is probably just a distraction--or trumpy's mind mush has completely gone mushy.

I had just wondered about this on another du post--and up it pops.
President Donald Trump has announced he will send Tom Homan to Minneapolis, an apparent benching of DHS honcho Kristi Noem, who has reportedly been at odds with the border czar.
Trump announced the move via his Truth Social platform on Monday morning, two days after the shooting of Minneapolis VA nurse Alex Pretti by Border Patrol agents.
“I am sending Tom Homan to Minnesota tonight. He has not been involved in that area, but knows and likes many of the people there,” Trump said in the post. “Tom is tough but fair, and will report directly to me.”
Trump’s announcement came mere minutes after Fox News host Brian Kilmeade suggested as much on Fox & Friends.

when will MAGA folks get tired of being LIED to by Trumps goons???
I would expect that they would be an open uproar over Kash talk about 2nd Amend rights!!
But seems they are still asleep!
Kash Patel just came out against the 2nd Amendment “You cannot bring a firearm loaded with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It’s that simple.” Actually, in plenty of places in the U.S. you can. The director doesn’t know the law.
