As with judges that's tradition, not the law. The Grubby Old Pedophile majority could have ignored NJ's Dem Senators.
Now, who is holding up Krazy Kim's posting to Greece?

The Greeks?
Doesn't a country have to accept an ambassador?

Re: Fascism Is here
Maybe Greece has informed TACO DonOLD informally in order to save him the embarrassment of a formal rejection of her credentials, and he has told the Senate GQP to skip it.Can a country reject an ambassador?
The designated person enjoys diplomatic immunity in the receiving state. As codified by the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, the state receiving the designated diplomat may refuse agrément without giving a reason, making the designated diplomat “persona non grata”.

Re: Fascism Is here
I agree. At a point in the past I saw the power first hand when an organization I was involved with had a sitting senator assist with an issue. Once involved, things moved very quickly.O Really wrote: ↑Tue Jul 22, 2025 3:06 pmU.S. Senators have the power to hold up the confirmation of someone to a position in their state.

As far as i know, she was never officially nominated. That's why her 120 days are up.Vrede too wrote: ↑Tue Jul 22, 2025 2:14 pmWhy didn't the Senate confirm her?

Yeah, she was. The Senate had 120 days to confirm her and then the judges took over. They installed a replacement, then Bondage fired the replacement. It's all a big clusterfuck now. I suppose that unqualified idiot HabbaDabbaDoo could be nominated again, restarting the 120 day clock.

Re: Fascism Is here
Doh! I knew there was never a confirmation vote in the Senate. But I thought she was appointed in an "acting" capacity and that some other person would be nominated. Looks like I was wrong.Vrede too wrote: ↑Wed Jul 23, 2025 8:01 amhttps://www.blueridgedebate.com/viewtop ... 70#p216770neoplacebo wrote: ↑Wed Jul 23, 2025 7:09 amAs far as i know, she was never officially nominated.

Re: Fascism Is here
I think her nomination is still pending, it's the "acting" part that's expired.
Unsure if she can be reappointed as a recess appointment.

Re: Fascism Is here
Typical childish Trumpism:
How humiliating for her, Dementia Donny and the nation. Walk away, HabbaDabbaDoo, there are lots of other jobs that you are unqualified for in the DonOLD admin*.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alina_Hab ... New_Jersey
... On July 24, 2025, President Trump withdrew the nomination of Alina Habba, which clears the way for her to serve in New Jersey as the U.S. attorney in an acting capacity. Days later, court activity in New Jersey involving the U.S. attorney abruptly stopped amid motions that contested Habba's continued tenure; federal statute states that a person "may not serve as an acting officer" if their nomination is submitted to the Senate, but does not clarify if that is applicable upon the withdrawal of a nomination.
Grrr
Remind you of anyone?

Re: Fascism Is here
Probably already posted somewhere, but Trump just federalized the DC police and is deploying the national guard due to "crime"
I was just in DC back in March and felt completely safe. Biked around, walked around, grabbed some drinks. Explored late into the night. No issues. But all the dumbasses that haven't left their dying small towns in the last 20 years probably think it's a warzone.

Re: Fascism Is here
Doesn't matter. This has nothing to do with actual crime, which is dropping in DC. Rather, it's another big step towards DonOLD's advancing fascism.Whack9 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 11, 2025 12:28 pmProbably already posted somewhere, but Trump just federalized the DC police and is deploying the national guard due to "crime"

Not to mention distraction from Epstein.
Maybe THE RESISTANCE will come from the DC PD. They never signed up to work for Dementia Donny and Bondage.
