She claims judges overstepped their authority in appointing her replacement, despite legal provisions allowing district courts to do so temporarily. Habba also falsely claimed Trump was rightfully elected and criticized Senate Republicans for blocking her nomination, which remains in limbo due to the blue slip process. Her tenure has been controversial, including a high-profile indictment of a Democratic congresswoman.
