What’s the hold up in the Senate?
About the only thing the turtle did well was get judges approved...
The hold up in the Senate is exactly this.
By blocking President Trump's nominees in the Senate, the Democrats are creating permanent vacancies that cause Trump's interim appointments to expire after 120 days. Once that happens, the judges get to choose the US Attorney that is favorable to them. Then Trump's DoJ fires that attorney. Trump then argued that the firing of the court-selected attorney creates a new vacancy that starts the 120-day clock all over again, but the courts have questioned that (starting with Alina Habba), arguing that the law says "the interim attorney," meaning one shot only before the judges can select the lawyer who argues before them.
So here we are. The Democrats have created a scheme whereby the judges get to pick the lawyers and Trump's DoJ can't prosecute any Democrats in these districts.
This is the scheme the Democrats used to block the prosecutions of LaMonica McIver in New Jersey, Leticia James in New York, and James Comey in Virginia.
