Another activist judge is ruling against President Trump’s authority, claiming Alina Habba cannot legally serve as the acting US Attorney for New Jersey despite Trump re-appointing her to the role.

Here’s more from CNN:

A federal judge on Thursday said President Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer Alina Habba is not legally serving as the acting US attorney for New Jersey, laying the groundwork for a potential appellate court review of the Trump administration’s method for installing some top prosecutors around the country.

“Faced with the question of whether Ms. Habba is lawfully performing the functions and duties of the office of the United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey, I conclude that she is not,” wrote Judge Matthew Brann of the Middle District of Pennsylvania, who was transferred two cases challenging her authority.

“And because she is not currently qualified to exercise the functions and duties of the office in an acting capacity, she must be disqualified from participating in any ongoing cases,” Brann added.

Habba’s authority as the top federal law enforcement officer in the state was challenged by defendants in two criminal cases who argued her recent appointment as acting US attorney is invalid because it violates federal law.

The decision is expected to be appealed, a delay that may cause further confusion within the federal criminal court system in the Garden State.

Brann, despite being labeled as a Republican, was appointed by Obama. This will undoubtedly be appealed and Trump will win another victory against an activist judge.
