Chief Judge Renee Marie Bumb announced Frazer\u2019s appointment as of this week, signaling the end of Habba\u2019s interim term. Habba congratulated Frazer,saying he will be a strong advocate for New Jersey and aligned with the Justice Department and the president\u2019s agenda. The article notes that U.S. attorneys are usually appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate, but Trump\u2019s approach elaborate the process, with judges having to rely on a 160-year-old power to fill vacancies when needed. Frazer\u2019s appointment has no <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/instagram-rolls-out-parental-controls\/\" title=\"Instagram Rolls Out Parental Controls\">set time limit<\/a> and will stand unless the president acts to remove him; the DOJ has also discussed possible legal action at the Supreme Court over Trump-appointed U.S. attorneys.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Judges appoint US attorney in New Jersey to replace Alina Habba<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2439456\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/new-jersey\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"1065\">New Jersey<\/a> district judges and the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/trump-administration\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"339\">Trump administration<\/a> came to an agreement to appoint career prosecutor Robert Frazer as Alina Habba&rsquo;s replacement as U.S. attorney for New Jersey.<\/p>\n<p>Chief Judge Renee Marie Bumb announced Frazer&rsquo;s departure in a single-sentence notice on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/how-americas-worst-court-blocks-judicial-reform\/\" title=\"How &#039;America&#039;s Worst Court&#039; Blocks Judicial Reform\">state court&#038;rsquo<\/a>;s website on Monday, with the appointment effective Monday.
