Habba had been appointed as an interim U.S. Attorney for 120 days, but the senate did not confirm her nomination. Judge Matthew W. brann declared that Habba is not qualified to perform her duties in an acting capacity and disqualified her from ongoing cases,citing that her appointment bypassed the Senate&#8217;s confirmation role. The administration, unhappy with the ruling and state judges&#8217; decision to appoint Habba&#8217;s deputy, planned a multi-step strategy to retain her position. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that they will appeal the decision, defending Habba&#8217;s work and criticizing what she called judicial activism. Habba herself expressed that judges should respect the president and refrain from political actions in their rulings.
