Alec Baldwin Tries To Get Prosecutor Removed For Being A Republican

I didn't see any quotes at all from Baldwin or his defense team mentioning her party affiliation:

Actor Alec Baldwin, who's accused of fatally shooting cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, filed a motion Tuesday to remove special prosecutor Andrea Reeb from the case, citing New Mexico's separation-of-powers statute.

Baldwin's legal team argues that Reeb, a member of the New Mexico House of Representatives, should be barred from the prosecutor's table because the state constitution says a "sitting member of the Legislature may not 'exercise any powers properly belonging' to either the executive or judicial branch," according to a filing with the First Judicial District Court of New Mexico.

"As a special prosecutor, Representative Reeb is vested by statute with 'all the powers and duties' of a district attorney, who is considered to be a member of either the judicial or executive branch of the New Mexico government," according to Baldwin's defense.

"Representative Reeb is therefore exercising either the executive power or the judicial power, and her continued service as a special prosecutor is unconstitutional."
