đšâïž CONSTITUTIONAL SHOWDOWN IN NEW YORK âïžđš
The White House just fired Donald T. Kinsella only HOURS after federal judges appointed him as U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of New York.
Appointed in the morning. Fired by email the same day.
This isnât normal politics. This is a power battle.
Federal judges used their legal authority to fill a vacancy in Albany. The administration responded immediately â saying only the President has the power to choose U.S. Attorneys.
Now Washington is watching closely. đ
âïž Is this a defense of executive authority? đïž Or a challenge to judicial independence? đ„ And what does this mean for future federal prosecutions? This isnât just about one office in New York.
Itâs about who controls the Justice system.
Power. Precedent. Politics. Americaâs balance of power just got tested.
