*Another* U.S. Attorney Disqualified After Failing The 'Actually Appointed' Test - Above the Law

Judges have repeatedly ruled that federal law allows the president to make only one interim appointment (lasting 120 days) as U.S. Attorney in any given federal district, after which the position may only be filled by a Senate-confirmed nominee or a judicially installed placeholder. That basic of statutory interpretation has led to the disqualification of New Jersey "U.S. Attorney" Alina Habba, Eastern District of Virginia's Lindsey Halligan (no matter what her signature line currently says), Sigal Chattah in Nevada, and Bill Essayli in Southern California.
