Not a fan of Habba because of her horrific simping for the vile Andrew Tate, but if she is the president’s choice, why can’t she just be confirmed by the Senate?
She was blue slipped by Booker and Kim, the Senators from NJ. This is a traditional option where a Senator can block an appointment. They said it was because she had no prosecutorial experience. I think it is clear that is an excuse.
That said, appointing US Attorneys is a political decision. We should not be “shocked” when it becomes political.
Some times it’s worth fighting over. Other times it’s not. I really don’t care about this person. I DO care that cases are about to get dismissed because she held the job outside of the defined rules for appointment.
Are we interesting in getting stuff done, or are we going to fight a losing battle. The Senate is not going to change their rules because of this appointment.
