“Your honor, I’d like to cite ‘What’s good for the goose, is good for the gander.’ for my case.”
Except any court would reject that outright because you haven’t done it in Latin
As he should.
Cannon’s ruling was that the entire concept of the DoJ appointing a special prosecutor is unconstitutional. Following that same logic, anyone who has ever been the subject of a special prosecutor investigation that was later adjudicated guilty can and should have their convictions thrown out.
That’s why Hunter is saying his case should be thrown out. He was investigated by a special prosecutor on behalf of the Department of Justice. That investigator ruled he broke the law when he had the temerity to own a firearm while he was using illegal drugs, and then the case went to court.
Under Cannon’s ruling, Hunter has got every right to ask for this. So does Bill Clinton for Whitewater. And the ghost of Richard Nixon for Watergate. Anyone who was ever investigated by a special prosecutor appointed by the DoJ who then faced any sort of legal consequences for their actions can now ask to have their convictions overturned on these grounds.
Cannon’s ruling is a pretty intense case of throwing the baby out with the bathwater with regards to judicial procedure, and it’s likely to be reversed by the appeals court. On the other hand, her ruling was only meant to delay the trial, which worked flawlessly. When her peers in the appeals court reverse the ruling and remove her from the bench for it or any other reason, look forward to seeing her as a talking head on conservative news networks. She’s certainly earned her place there.
I may have a flawed understanding, but I think it’s worse than that. She’s actually trying to get the case dismissed completely because of a catch she put in the special counsel stuff. That catch being that the thing that illegal about the special counsel is not the special counsel itself, but rather that the person pursuing special counsel should be an elected official.
Now I think this still does a number on our legal system and I don’t know enough about Hunters counsel here to say if that applies, but this was suggested to her and it’s a way to target throwing out trumps specific case while retaining the right to use special counsel elsewhere.
I wish I were joking but the Supreme Court can and likely will make yet another carve out in the law so that the law can survive but is severely crippled in a way that massively benefits Trump.
The best part is if the question goes up to SCOTUS, it might well get consolidated with Cannon’s dismissal, and they’re considering one legal question in cases against a Trump and a Biden.
“No, not like that!” 😆
I hope this is just the first salvo the Biden’s launch and start using all the ridiculous policies the GOP is setting against them.
I am middle of the road but registered democrat. I vote for who I think will do the best job in local and national elections.
I am partially paralyzed and it takes me 1/2 a day to vote. I will always vote because its all we have imo.
IMO The Electoral college stole the election from Hillary but you don’t see her running around like Kari Lake who is acting this way on purpose so if Trump wins, she will get appointed to a good job in his cabinet.
Back to Hillary, She won the popular vote by millions and still lost!
This is what the electoral college did
She won the popular vote just short of 3 Million!
Back then we had **249,372,406 people over the age of 18. About 80% of them were eligible to vote
That is roughly 200k people. 199,497,924. The point is the amount of popular votes should have been a solid win. Not a landslide but solid.
This makes me very sketched out along with all these new voting districts and restrictions on absentee ballots,
and some states banning giving people in line a bottle of water or food! Google line warming!
What if Biden wins by 2 million? Is that a solid win for Trump???
**Child and Adult Populations 2016

Yes, democrats have to win by a landslide in order to squeak out a victory. Meanwhile, republicans can lose over and over and over and still rise to power. No republican has ever entered the presidency by winning the popular vote in my entire lifetime.
I’m not sure how old you are, but George Bush won the popular vote in 2004. That was the last time a Republican won the popular vote.
That is roughly 200k people. 199,497,924.
I think you may have meant 200M, or you have 3 extra numbers and a comma that don’t belong lol.
