Q: The Trump administration’s workaround to keep Alina Habba in power as U.S. Attorney for New Jersey — after a panel of federal judges declined to extend her 120-day interim term — was to reappoint her as interim U.S. Attorney for another 200 days. What’s your reaction to her unprecedented reappointment?

On Tuesday, New Jersey federal judges decided to fire Alina Habba, refusing to vote to extend her 120-day appointment as U.S. attorney for New Jersey, leading to uproar from the right. Now, the Trump administration seems to have found a loophole to keep one of their most loyal operatives back into a powerful position.
