Julianne Murray, has resigned as Acting US Attorney for the District of Delaware.
Murray was appointed as interim US Attorney in July – a 120-day appointment from US Attorney General Pam Bondi, which expired in November. When her interim term expired, Murray then was appointed “acting US Attorney” by Bondi, however there has been no approval by the US Senate Judiciary Committee. Murray, a Republican, said in a statement Friday that the ‘blue slip’ tradition in the US Senate and with 2 Democratic Delaware Senators who did not support her – she was never considered for US Attorney for the District of Delaware.
Delaware District Court Judge Colm Connolly has appointed Ben Wallace, who served as Murray’s First Assistant, to take over the position until the vacancy is filled. Connolly announced in September that the Court would establish its own selection process as the White House had not announced a nominee for the post.

The first year of Trump’s term is almost over, and they still aren’t confirming his nominees. And the Republicans actually expect to win at midterms...
This Congress has sat quietly and watch Trump look for executive orders, workarounds, temporary appointments, the Judicial Insurrection, etc. And they haven’t lifted a finger.
Delaware, why is that state name familiar?
And the Republicans actually expect to win at midterms...
They want to lose.
Yep. This is not what the people voted for.
The solution to the problem is actually simple. Accept her resignation as interim attorney and then appoint her as interim attorney again
Trump threw the dying GOP a lifeline - and they pissed on him.
The country is ripe for revolution, and only one party is animated by a revolutionary spirit.
The first two years of Trump’s first term were golden years. Republicans had the White House, plus both houses of Congress. But not much came out of that.
By good fortune, we are now in two golden years again. And it’s the same damn thing. Congressional Republicans are acting like it’s still 1955. Well, it’s not.
Perhaps they will understand when the radical Democrats take over for good.
Delaware is a trivial nothingness with aspirations of being Philadelphia
“ And the Republicans actually expect to win at midterms...”
I doubt that they expect to win. This is 2018 all over again. SSDD.
My tag line sums it up.
Time to get rid of the ‘blue slip’ tradition!
Thx ‘Rats.
More like Trump did a hostile takeover of the GOP from the ruling class that has never accepted it and whose goal is to get back in control. Now the resistance has risen to the level of sabotage and open rebellion.
For most of the past year the RINOcrat representatives and senators have openly displayed their TDS treachery.
It's more complicated than that. The Lyndsey Halligan and Alina Habba [and now Julianne Murray] situations are representative of a nefarious scheme going on.
Consider this: The Democrats have been blocking President Trump's appointments just like they did in 2017 (and even like they did to Bush in 2000 until 9/11 happened). Here we are in December and he still doesn't have his administration fully filled out. The reason that President Trump has to appoint "interim" or "acting" prosecutors is that the Democrats are purposely stalling the confirmation of the permanent positions. They want to keep the seat vacant so that the judges can use the vacancies to void prosecutions whenver an "acting" prosecutor's term expires.
The Democrats have created a vicious circle: Block permanent appointment -> President appoints "interim"(120 day) officeholder -> temporary term expires -> Trump appoints a new "acting" officeholder (210 day term) -> acting term expires -> Trump does what??? The courts are now rejecting future appointments, resulting in the prosecutor being vacant and the court now gets to choose the prosecutor it wants!
This is becoming judicial tyranny on the grounds laid down by the Democrats by creating permanent vacancies that can never be filled. This gives the District Court judges, who are already hostile to Donald Trump, the legal cover they need to keep making these rulings. The court is showing no interest in considering deference to the Executive who must keep his Department of Justice operating when the Senate is obstructing his confirmations.
The Senate blocks the President, the clock runs out, and the Court legally "usurps" the appointment power. By doing this, they are making it impossible to prosecute anyone in a blue state.

IF CONGRESS IS NOT IN SESSION-—HOW CAN ANYONE GET APPROVED FOR ANY POSITION?
How is a judge picking an Executive Branch official consistent with the Constitution? What happened to separation of powers?
The Republican senate has not yet confirmed 131 cabinet nominees for its own party’s President.
Does anybody think they will pass any type of meaningful legislation? No they won’t. They are waiting for Trumps term to expire just like the Democrats so they can all go back to stealing and wasting taxpayers dollars.
The Republicans don’t want meaningful reform. They like things just the way they are. This is why I pray Trump is getting ready to issue a national emergency order and step in to make some arbitrary decisions with congress and the judiciary sitting on the sidelines. Otherwise we are all screwed.

This right here. Unfortunately one sees less chance of the former and greater chance of the latter.
