White House adviser Alina Habba lashed out at Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) after he blasted President Donald Trump's freeze on federal grant programs.
"This decision is lawless, dangerous, destructive, cruel," Schumer said during a Tuesday press conference. "It's illegal. It's unconstitutional. I spoke to my [New York] attorney general this morning... They're going to court right away."
Habba later raged at the Democrat in an interview on Fox News.
"Your attorney general is not the attorney general!" she exclaimed. "We have an attorney general. That will be Pam Bondi."
"And what your opinion is on what the law is doesn't really matter," Habba continued. "It's what the White House counsel says and what our attorney general of the United States says."
"So Chuck can check his attitude at the door, but I'm not really surprised by him."
Fox News host John Roberts pushed back: "So, Alina, you said a moment ago at the top that we have an attorney general, Pam Bondi. We don't yet have an attorney general."
"She may get voted out of committee tomorrow," he noted. "Why are Democrats dragging their feet in getting a confirmation vote for her?"
"It's a real problem," Habba replied. "And President Trump's made it clear that they better cooperate and push our people through."

Despite Habba's claim, the Constitution says that the Supreme Court is tasked with interpreting laws written by Congress.
"The Court is the highest tribunal in the Nation for all cases and controversies arising under the Constitution or the laws of the United States," the court's website states. "As the final arbiter of the law, the Court is charged with ensuring the American people the promise of equal justice under law and, thereby, also functions as guardian and interpreter of the Constitution."
