An angry federal judge on Monday evening ordered three attorneys running the U.S. Attorney’s Office in New Jersey to testify about how the office’s leadership structure operates after a judge ruled the DOJ illegally appointed them following Alina Habba’s forced resignation.

During a separate hearing on whether to delay the sentencing of a person who pleaded guilty to child porn charges, US District Court Judge Zahid Quraishi, a Biden appointee, ordered the three attorneys to testify.

Earlier this month, a federal judge fired three new leaders in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for New Jersey.

US District Judge Matthew Brann, an Obama appointee, said the current leadership in New Jersey’s US Attorney’s Office exceeds the Attorney General’s authority.

“One year into this administration, it is plain that President Trump and his top aides have chafed at the limits on their power set forth by law and the Constitution. To avoid these roadblocks, this administration frequently purports to have discovered enormous grants of executive power hidden in the vagaries and silences of the code,” Judge Brann wrote.

“I conclude that the current leadership structure for the Office of the United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey exceeds the Attorney General’s statutory authority to appoint inferior officers and delegate them powers and therefore constitutes a unilateral appointment in violation of the Appointments Clause,” the judge wrote.

Alina Habba, who is now serving as a senior advisor for Attorney General Pam Bondi, called the judge’s decision unconstitutional and a complete overreach.

Another ridiculous ruling from Judge Brann disqualifying three individuals serving New Jersey’s DOJ front office of the U.S. Attorney.

Judges may continue to try and stop President Trump from carrying out what the American people voted for, but we will not be deterred.

In a wild hearing on Monday evening, Judge Quraishi blasted US Attorney Daniel Rosenbaum and grilled him about Alina Habba.

“You have lost the confidence and the trust of this court,” Quraishi said, according to a transcript of the hearing as reported by Bloomberg News. “You have lost the confidence and the trust of the New Jersey legal community, and you are losing the trust and confidence of the public.”

“What role does Alina Habba have currently in operating your office?” Quraishi asked Rosenbaum, according to Bloomberg.

“None that I’m aware of,” Rosenbaum replied.

“So she could be operating the office,” the judge said.

Mark Coyne, another supervisory assistant US Attorney, chimed in and said, “[Alina] is not.”

The judge blasted Coyne, accused him of blindsiding the court, and then ejected him from the courtroom.

“You don’t get to blindside the court and do whatever it is you guys want to do. So if you continue to speak, you can leave,” the judge said to Coyne, Bloomberg reported.

A father in Maine has filed a lawsuit against his son’s school district, accusing them of failing to provide children an opportunity to recite the Pledge of Allegiance during the school day.

The lawsuit, filed against the Falmouth School Department and Superintendent Steve Nolan, alleges that the district is violating Maine law, according to the Portland Press Herald.

The statute in question dates back to 2011 and is posted on the legislature’s official website.

“A school administrative unit shall allow every student enrolled in the school administrative unit the opportunity to recite the Pledge of Allegiance at some point during a school day in which students are required to attend,” the statute reads. “A school administrative unit may not require a student to recite the Pledge of Allegiance.”

The plaintiff, Christopher Hickey, reportedly filed the lawsuit on behalf of his son, Clayton, a 10th-grader who has attended Falmouth High School for two years.

WGME-TV cited an affidavit from Clayton stating that neither he nor his classmates were ever given a chance to recite the pledge during the school day.

In addition to the school providing an opportunity for all students to recite the Pledge of Allegiance in a structured way, Hickey also wants a letter of apology from the Falmouth School Department.

The courts will likely have to determine what constitutes an “opportunity to recite the Pledge;” however, the lawsuit states that it has not been shared over the school’s intercom or led by teachers in the classroom, according to the Portland Press Herald.

Local Army veterans spoke with WGME-TV and said such expressions of patriotism are vital to a healthy nation.

“Our students don’t get enough citizenship instruction. And that’s the least they can do, I think,” said Army veteran Chris Winne. “You know, it represents so much to not only veterans, but the entire community and our country. And so I don’t see any bad in it, only good.”

“I think you should always do the Pledge of Allegiance in the high school,” Falmouth Army veteran James Richardson added. “It’s what makes America America. That’s part of [taking]  pride in our country.”
