Surely to be a clown show. We know that RFK certainly thinks he’s getting nominated for HHS, which includes FDA.

Yet the Bove nomination is moving at lightning speed. Huh. Quite the contradiction. The people in power behind Trump know that Habba is an incompetent fool. But Bove provides them a willing tool to dismantle our system of checks and balances. Our system of laws.Senate Confirmations Slow to a Crawl
The process takes almost three times as long as it did during the Reagan administration As President Donald Trump plans to enter the White House for the second time, a major responsibility will be to fill the more than 1,300 political appointee positions that require Senate confirmation.

The senate snail pace.
The judges did have the option of extending Habba’s role until the senate vote.
28 U.S. Code § 546 - Vacancies

(c)A person appointed as United States attorney under this section may serve until the earlier of—
(1)
the qualification of a United States attorney for such district appointed by the President under section 541 of this title; or
(2)
the expiration of 120 days after appointment by the Attorney General under this section.
(d)
If an appointment expires under subsection (c)(2), the district court for such district may appoint a United States attorney to serve until the vacancy is filled. The order of appointment by the court shall be filed with the clerk of the court.
I’m saying they could have extended Habba’s term and waited for the Senate to vote on confirmation. Instead they have a pissing contest.So what you are saying is that the judges followed the law and Pam Bondi subverted the law in order to nullify the judges' legal obligations. Sounds like Bondi is a radical activist and should be decried as such. Wanna join me in calling for her immediate termination?
This is the take of someone who thinks Habba is qualified for her position. Is that your take?I’m saying they could have extended Habba’s term and waited for the Senate to vote on confirmation. Instead they have a pissing contest.
You say this while ignoring this administration's obvious attempt to, ONCE AGAIN, circumvent our democratic procedures. The GOP has repeatedly employed the tactic of appointing interim officials with questionable qualifications during both of this President's term and yet, you question a Judge that is upholding the law while performing their Article III duties?I’m saying they could have extended Habba’s term and waited for the Senate to vote on confirmation. Instead they have a pissing contest.
I’m not questioning the judges. Their choice. But likely fruitless. And this is a legit procedure. There was an appointment that is good for 120 days. Now Habba has been nominated. So up to the senate. 120 day runs out. Judges appoint someone else. Someone else is remove by the attorney general. Rinse repeat. Just let the senate decide. All of this part of the democratic process. As defined by statute and the constitution.You say this while ignoring this administration's obvious attempt to, ONCE AGAIN, circumvent our democratic procedures.

This is the take of someone who understands what is legal in the process. I have no idea if she’s qualified. Apparently she passed the bar.This is the take of someone who thinks Habba is qualified for her position. Is that your take?
Also, to characterize the judges’ following the law as written, and Bondi trying to skirt the legal appointment by the judges as a “pissing contest” is seriously partisan. Like unbelievably so.
This is just one more case where you are siding with Trump admin circumventing the law and showing contempt for our legal process.
And the reason why the AG fired the deputy should be ignored? You continue to ignore the obvious intentions here! Habba was nominated 3 weeks ago, why was she not nominated 90 days prior?I’m not questioning the judges. Their choice. But likely fruitless. And this is a legit procedure.

What is legal is that it’s up to the judges to appoint someone once the 120 days runs out and no confirmation has taken place. Firing a duly appointed person in a fit of pique is not so much part of the legal process.This is the take of someone who understands what is legal in the process. I have no idea if she’s qualified.

Not a defense. Just what is legal. While the Attorney General can’t fired a senate approved U.S. Attorney the rest of the staff is fair game. The someone appointed by the judges aren’t senate approved so pretty sure removing the someone from the appointment is within the AG’s power.What is legal is that it’s up to the judges to appoint someone once the 120 days runs out and no confirmation has taken place.

And lots and lots of people pass the bar. I would like to think a US attorney needs something more than that laughable standard.
Also, why not read up on Habba, before you rush to her defense? She’s a joke.
Can you even admit that the firing was done to circumvent a legal appointment?Not a defense. Just what is legal.
