Won't work. I mean, they might give her the title, but given that there is a court order appointing someone else, her appointment would be invalid and defendants will challenge her authority to prosecute.
Also, as [checks notes] Andrew McCarthy of National Review points out, the statute does not permit someone to serve twice as an interim. I don't know if that's true because I haven't checked it, but Andrew McCarthy is not exactly the type of person who would trying to thwart Trump.

Funny how the GOP cared so much about the validity of appointments to Fani Willlis' RICO team and so little about the validity of other prosecutors.
If I was a district court judge in that circuit, I would dismiss a case against a defendant because the prosecutor was acting ultra vires. That would replace Alina Habba with a quickness

You saying this reminds me of the following scene from Sealab 2021. It's extraordinarily obscure and probably won't land, but so be it. Submitted for your consideration
going to have the theme song stuck in my head, and I am not mad about that.

So all criminal cases in federal court in New Jersey have been halted.

WINNING!
N.J. Criminal Cases Screech to a Halt as Habba’s Authority Is Challenged
Federal court hearings, grand jury proceedings and plea deals were abruptly canceled in New Jersey over questions about whether Alina Habba, the acting U.S. attorney, was legally appointed.
WINNING!

That isn't going to make Habba's appointment legal. It's just going to mean there is no USA for New Jersey.
You misspelled "vampires" or "ultra virus".

I guess there will be no convictions in NV now.
The district court judges have the power to force the administration's hand. They don't need injunctions. They can just dismiss cases, exactly as Trump begged the GA judges to do.
And I fucking hope they do, because someone needs to stand up for the rule of law. I'm hopeful that Judge Boulware will do it, if he's still on the bench in LV. I know him a little bit and I think he has a lot of integrity and he's smart.

“… In a motion filed late Tuesday, federal prosecutors sought to dismiss an indictment accusing Andrew Wiederhorn, ex-CEO of the company that owns the Fatburger and Johnny Rockets chains, of carrying out a $47 million “sham loan” scheme.
Prosecutors also sought to dismiss charges against L.A. County sheriff’s deputy Trevor Kirk, who has already been convicted and sentenced in an excessive force case after he attacked a woman in a supermarket parking lot in 2023.
… Days before Essayli’s initial appointment in April, Adam Schleifer, the assistant U.S. attorney handling the criminal case against Wiederhorn, was fired at the behest of the White House.
Schleifer alleged in appealing the decision that his firing was motivated in part by his prosecution of Wiederhorn, a Trump donor who has maintained his innocence.…”
