Top US prosecutor appointed to New York Albany office by judges is immediately ousted
A lawyer appointed by judges to be the U.S. attorney for northern New York was immediately fired by the Justice Department in the latest clash between the Trump administration and the judiciary over the process for selecting top federal prosecutors.
Reading comments below this article and you will find :
How can anyone really believe that picking judges belongs to the president. FYI : The President has the power to nominate.
The Senate has the power to confirm (provide "advice and consent").
The Judge has the job for life ("during good behaviour"), free from executive control once seated.
And obviously an interim judge picked by other judges should fill a vacant position. Trump should not have been able to fire, he could have nominated someone else and had the Senate confirm his choice. This firing is a high crime and misdemeanor. But unfortunately American Republicans worship fascism and forget what their fathers died for. So nothing will happen.
