Pam Bondi Trying To Avenge Alina Habba

Attorney General Pam Bondi stepped in to avenge Alina Habba after the District Court in New Jersey decided to NOT grant her request for an extension so that she could remain interim US Attorney. Instead, the court used their legal authority to appoint a new interim US Attorney, which prompted Bondi to IMMEDIATELY fire her from her new position. This creates a world of legal headaches for New Jersey

the administration has equal authority to dismiss.

And that typically what happens in such cases is that the judges and admin talk to each other and find a solution that both can live with. in this case, nope. Not a hint of talks. Just, "She's out and we're appointing her replacement." Which was met every bit as peremptorily with, "Nope."

Better nobody, I guess, than Habba. I hear that the judges' pick was sidelined somehow, didn't pay attention as to how.
