    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.

            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

      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.

    I’m glad they did it, but I’m frankly a bit mystified that they didn’t get the ball rolling on this sooner. The (clearly nonsensical) dismissal happened a while ago.

      It takes time to get all your paperwork and argument sorted, and then more time to get an appeal scheduled.

      We don’t want this falling through because a procedural mistake.
