Judge Altman to remain Judge for now (UPDATED WITH RESULTS)

Update -- as of 5pm on Thursday, the results are heavily skewed in favor of judge.  88 say judge, 10 say U.S. Attorney, and 3 voted about the same.  Sorry about the results not popping up after you vote.  I tried a new poll and it's not really that good.  

 President Trump decided to go with the likes of Huckabee and Gaetz.

I've also heard talk that he's being considered for U.S. Attorney. Unlike Ambassador and A.G., I'm not sure a district judge would take that slot. But maybe I'm wrong. What do you think:

How big of a sycophant must one be for Trump to make them a United States Attorney vs US DC Judge?

Fajardo or Cannon??

Hubby or Daddy write the bigger check?

At least Fajardo tried to make the Office better, and didn’t have a misogynistic Executive Division.

Cannon is STILL clueless in Saint Lucia! No judicial temperament and still doesn’t know what she doesn’t know… poor thing.

US Attorney

Bow out of life tenure to be an underling to (probably) Gaetz? Uff, bad look. Altman seems smarter than that. But Bronwyn Miller might be available.

I missed the part where this blog became obsessed with Altman's aspirations for higher office. It's embarrassing. I don't think the dude's ego needs to get any bigger, maybe relax on the coverage?

Also, anyone else remember him fumbling a decision on the Governor's immigration policy that he sat on for months? I'm sure DeSantis hasn't forgot...

I voted a federal judge is more prestigious. The US Attorney is a short term political head that leads a prosecution office. They usually dont lead with a top down approach. A federal judge lasts a lifetime. The decisions the judge makes are far more reaching than a US Attorney. Let's play, rock, paper, scissors. How many times has a federal judge slam the USAO or dismiss their cases.
Case Closed

Heard Altman is going to be chief of staff for Elan in the Doge office reinventing government.

I have it from an excellent inside source he is resigning to host dancing with the stars and will also be groomed to replace Jeff Probst on Survivor. Fox is also developing a “Judge Roy” vehicle for afternoon TV with one night a week in prime time where he adjudicates complex federal civil disputes in the air in two hour specials. Big firms like Greenberg have agreed to send cases. And finally Politico is hiring him to cover the Supreme Court as their reporter. Lots on his plate. Gonna make 10x as much.

White House counsel’s office seems a natural fit. They gonna need a whole host of lawyers.

My friend out in Hollywood told me he is going to host dancing with the stars.

He’s accepted an offer to be the name for a chain of Judge Roy’s BBQ and Deli Joint. Kosher BBQ! Oh vay what a great idea. Smoked lox on a BBQ’d kinish. Matzo Ball soup with brisket in a bun with sauce! And “not your grandmother’s roast chicken” also on the menu. Gonna make a fortune.

I read his prior work prosecuting sex traffickers is disqualifying in this admin.

If he’s smart, and not just a brown noser, he’ll stay where he is, unless he is picked for a higher court. Can a former fed keep some dignity in this district?

i also voted the Judgeship is more prestigious, longer tenure & better promotion odds. Plenty of Cir seats available.
When was the last time a judge dismissed a case besides Trump’s?
Plenty of misconduct, a few people got slapped on the wrist, at the office.
