Personally, I urge the impeachment of Judge Cannon... amongst a sea of corrupt officials they truly are someone who stands head and shoulders above the rest.
I can’t believe that anyone appointed by Trump is allowed to preside over Trump the defendant. That’s the most blatant conflict of interest I’ve ever heard. It’s cartoonishly corrupt.
I can't believe they're allowed to keep their positions when they were given those positions by a literal traitor to the nation. Same with his shitty policies.
Corrupt detective's cases are all put on hold and past ones looked over when found corrupt. Why isn't the fucking presidency any different? It should be more prevalent in this case.
Lawyers on podcasts I listen to have said it's normal and OK, but that Cannon is the exception who's making it look worse than usual. She's clearly in the tank for Trump. I'd also like to see her impeached.
It may be normal, but I don’t think it’s okay despite what lawyers say.
Yeah, I guess also we've never really seen a president-- the guy who makes the appointments-- on trial before, so it's definitely something I'd like to see reviewed
I suspect that Trump may yet inspire constitutional amendments in the future, but only after he's been removed from the chessboard
Does your podcast live on Trigger Avenue?
She is so blatantly biased. I wonder if even this Supreme Court would back her up.
She seems to have been advised by Clarence Thomas on this, so the idea to do this came from the supreme court.
Thomas did not definitively answer the question, but U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon echoed his approach to Trump’s election interference case
I don't think anyone on the Court is as far right or as nakedly corrupt as Thomas. Just because he's advising her, I wouldn't take that as an endorsement from the full Court. He frequently writes concurring opinions that go way beyond anyone else.
Maybe, but for sure she is starting off with an active voice on the supreme court in her favor. That's a good start.
I was gonna say Alito, but even for him I had to pause because Thomas is just so bad.
It's real interesting that they thought dismissal for a transparently bad reason has a better shot than dismissal for lack of evidence.
With Joe stepping down and a surge of support for Kamala, is there a point where the Supreme Court has to accept they’re not winning this time and switch to clean house of people who overplayed their hand?
What? No, definitely not. They're appointed for life and don't have to give a shit about anything Kamala could possibly do.
(Well, short of using the immunity they gave Trump to Seal Team Six them, I guess, but no Democrat is likely to do that and they know it.)
no Democrat is likely to do that
Honestly this is what pisses me off.
When an opponent who literally wants you or yours dead hands you a gun, shoot them with it. Because if you don't shoot, they will.
Republicans have handed democrats so many tools over the years they could easily wield against Republicans.... But they don't.
They take the "high road."
The Moral High Road is Filled With Corpses.
They don't even need violence. Just an official act that decrees that only 3 specific justices have case voting power. The other six are just non-voting members. Effective immediately.
If Democrats are ever lucky enough to get 2/3rds of the Senate (and 51% of the House), at that point the Supreme Court might start to think twice about their decisions.
Edit: unfortunately unlikely, though
Grossly unlikely. We're likely to see the country continue to consolidate most of the population into a few states. We could be seeing a situation in the next few cycles where it's outright impossible for Democrats to win the senate while blowing out the House and Presidential vote.
People need to show up, vote, and flip the house.
If we can flip the house and keep the senate, she can be impeached. She can’t be impeached now, because the corrupt folks that wanted her are protecting her.
Yeah a ton of people who are lining up to vote for Harris also need to vote to flip the house.
Even above Clarence Thomas?
Yes, I think that Judge Cannon is much more blatantly corrupt than Clarence Thomas and I don't say that lightly.
