10+ hour, 28+ min ago (309+ words) NEW JERSEY -- A federal appeals court on Monday disqualified Alina Habba from serving as the United States Attorney for New Jersey. The 3rd US Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a district court decision that found her appointment violated the Federal Vacancies Reform Act. President Trump nominated Habba, formerly one of his personal lawyers, but she was not confirmed by the Senate. When district court judges declined to appoint her to the position, the administration tried to install her a different way. The 3rd Circuit said the maneuver was improper. Monday's ruling marks the first time a federal appeals court has ruled against the Trump administration's attempt to keep interim US Attorneys in their posts after their temporary appointments lapse, potentially resulting in nationwide implications for federal prosecutors installed in the same way as Alina Habba. The ruling from the three-judge panel - composed…...

16+ hour, 42+ min ago (453+ words) DELAWARE -The United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit has denied a request by the Delaware State Sportsmen's Association and other plaintiffs that could have placed a temporary pause on Delaware's new Permit to Purchase law. Guns rights activists in Delaware have criticized the law since it was first proposed, arguing it violates Delawareans' Second Amendment rights. As part of the federal lawsuit, plaintiffs sought expedited injunctive relief to keep the law from taking effect while its constitutionality was debated in U.S. District Court. Less than two days before the Permit to Purchase law was set to begin in Delaware, on Nov. 14, a federal judge declined to grant the injunctive relief. "The trial court's denial of injunctive relief did not include an analysis of all the reasons the status quo results in a de facto ban, nor did it…...
