Alina Habba judge is Republican, Federalist Society member

by Elizabeth Crisp - 08/22/25 4:34 PM ET

The judge appointed by former President Obama who ruled this week that Trump pick Alina Habba lacks the authority to serve as the acting U.S. attorney for New Jersey is a longtime Republican, with membership in the conservative Federalist Society and the National Rifle Association (NRA).

Habba and Attorney General Pam Bondi both have ripped U.S. District Judge Matthew Brann of taking a “rogue” or “activist” position after he ruled Thursday that Habba was unlawfully serving as the Garden State’s federal prosecutor through a “novel series of legal and personnel moves” ...

Brann was nominated to the court by Obama in 2012 but was backed by Republicans.

When right-wing federalist society assholes are denounced by the 47 regime, it should be crystal clear to all that they are operating off of any "left-right" "liberal-conservative" spectrum that has been operative at any previous point in our history.

They are making the rules as they go along. It is a very straightforward agenda.

-- Sabotage every institution and process though which the will of the people is expressed.

-- Sabotage every mechanism through which the will of the people, as expressed in the body of law, is executed.

-- Sabotage the economic and political power through which the United States promotes values of global citizenship around the world.

We are stopping them here and there, but they are moving forward on all fronts like bulldozers.

When we finally get out of this horrific time, we have our work cut out for us.
