Trump appointee Aileen Cannon indefinitely postpones Trump classified documents trial, but I hardly see why that’s relevant.
And a particularly unqualified and ideological appointment, even by Trump standards.
Open corruption. Cool cool cool.
Maybe there should be, idk, consequences?
Let’s ask the rich people who groomed and appointed her. Oh, no? Well okay then.
Off to the m*l*t*v store.
you go ahead, I got like five seasons of Succession to catch up on
/s, in case anyone needs it
We have the opportunity to vote for holding Trump accountable in November… if anyone cares anymore.
Make sure you don’t vote for Biden though, because of that one issue you suddenly care about.
Inb4 the standard myopic replies from .ml accounts
that one issue you suddenly care about.
That will also be significantly worse under Trump.
Yeah, but then 81 year old Biden will have sure have learned his lesson (wags finger)
It is also the lone issue that Repubs somehow aren’t oppositional defiant disorder about. “Let’s get the Muslim ban guy back in there, he’ll save Palestine.”
Turns out there are plenty of useful idiots who think they are insulated from the consequences of an election by campus security and daddy’s money.
But then others of them know what they’re up to. They want Donald to help speed the collapse so China can gain more ground. That’s hypocrisy, those guys don’t give a shit about human rights abuses as long as the nation committing them pretends to be socialist.
I like how you avoid saying what the issue is, because it sounds a lot worse when you say it’s genocide. I think that’s a fair line in the sand to draw for people. Hopefully Biden movies on that stance soon so we don’t get Trump. We all better keep pushing him.
I think that’s a fair line in the sand to draw for people.
If they actually cared, they wouldn’t be willing to risk allowing Trump to take over and do worse.
I stopped voting when Obama didn’t stop that thing that we “suddenly care about”. Blue MAGA == Red MAGA
Would a person be a single issue voter if Trump being the president was the issue? 🤔
Fire her. She’s compromised and a Trump appointee that should have been recused.
How?
Wouldn’t she need to be to be impeached by the House? The house is controlled by the GOP. Even if a few republicans wanted to remove her, you would still need the GOP speaker to bring this to the floor.
The prosecutor can request that she be removed from the case, but that’s extreme and, if fails, leaves him with a hostile judge that is also even more empowered than before.
The prosecutor would have to ask for her removal, which would be difficult to accomplish for sure.
And the house GOP passed a law that lets them oust their own speaker with a minority vote, too.
That’s not true.
It still requires a simple majority to remove a speaker. In the case of Kevin McCarthy, the vote was 216 to 210, in favor of removal.
What is new is that the GOP is allowing anyone to bring a motion to vacate to the floor. You still need a majority vote to oust someone, but any yahoo can now force the house to drop everything and vote on removing the speaker.
That causes chaos and previously it required a higher bar to get a motion to vacate rolling.
It’d be nice if we had retention elections for these judges. The executive branch nominates judges and the legislative confirms them, but I’d like to see a choice on my ballot every so many years after a judge has been installed asking whether that judge should stay in office or not.
Funny enough, Wikipedia mentions how scholars are opposed to retention elections because the judiciary is supposed to be the most removed from public opinion and introducing that would lead to special interest groups swaying outcomes and generally breeding corruption. The squeeze is that we’re already seeing corruption in courts anyways because of the very branches that install judges in the first place. All you have to do is look at this article or the Supreme Court.
Now the real question would be if Supreme Court justices should be up for retention. That’s a rabbit hole I’m not sure what the consequences would lead to. Seems like term limits are still appropriate.
Justice delayed is justice denied.
