Appeals court upholds disqualification of Alina Habba as New Jersey’s top federal prosecutor
The ruling further stymies the Trump administration’s use of unusual tactics meant to quickly put or keep largely unqualified U.S. attorneys in place without Senate confirmation.

NEWS: A federal appeals court has unanimously ruled that Alina Habba is disqualified from serving as U.S. Attorney in New Jersey — calling her appointment unlawful and void. The 3rd Circuit panel upheld a prior decision that her tenure violated federal appointment law.

The manual deliberately chose this century-old example because it represents what courts have called “the most rudimentary intelligence” test—if someone cannot recognize that killing defenseless, shipwrecked people is illegal, they cannot recognize any illegal order.

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.
What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."
