I also remember a lot of DUers predicting that Cannon would pick Huck, that Dearie must be corrupt too, and that the 11th Circuit would back up Cannon.

Besides, it might take a decade or more to find out. The gop has to win both the wh and senate and then get an opening.

But given who is standing behind mcconnel, I wouldn't be surprised one bit.

Besides, I would feel terrible about winning. It would take all the fun out of it.

But lets say they had proposed huck and gaetz. Neither would be agreeable to the doj, and both doj picks were unacceptable to tfg.

Who she would have picked is anyone's guess. It could literally be any federal judge or even one of tfg's picks.

and now any unlucky person who has to be in her court has to wonder if the 11th district just doesn’t take it to read , and possible overturn cause they think she’s cray.

Wow, have a nice life Judge.

for whoever the next Repuke POTUS will be. And she demonstrated that she will completely ignore the facts and the law and utterly debase herself and her position in order to give Repukes the outcome they want for purely partisan reasons. That makes her a perfect GQP nominee for SCOTUS.

Some people here still don't get it that it's not about logic or the rule of law.... it's about power.

As the judge that worships at the alter of.....

"The Great Tangerine Messiah & Mafioso Thug.

Justice Cannon was appointed by and baptized by the Great Fuhrer. Then welcomed into his closest inner circles of devout followers and friends.

As a sitting federal judge, in her young career, she has burnt her bridges that could have provided access to respectability. Ideally that is what we want and need of our judges. But Judge Cannon comes in way-way short.

Now she will always be subject to mumbling and snickers of being a laughing stock on the bench for the preference and outlandish favoritism she displayed in her courtroom for DJT and the rulings she blindly rendered in his favor. While blatantly ignoring judicial protocols and precedents.

She let her ambitions, and her ego, and her apparently hoped for future camaraderie with trDUMP - over rule her judicial temperaments at shamefully obvious proportions.

If she could be - lifetime disbarred as a lawyer -
would that prevent her from sitting at the federal court bench ? Can a federal judge lose their license to practice law permanently but still remain seated as a judge ?

This judge went way beyond practicing judicial discretion - and clearly crossed into the territory of unethical behavior. She should be severely sanctioned for what she did and then removed. She is incapable of fairly and honestly administering her judicial duties without favoritism. That is a glaring flaw that makes one unqualified to sit on the federal bench. Our federal judges need to be better than that.

Leaving her on the bench in light if her recent conduct only invites additional mockery being brought upon the courts. As a layman it seems imperative she be removed with haste.

Our federal courts are not surrogate private law firms or nor are judges the taxpayer paid personal attorneys acting on behalf of or acting exclusively in the best interests of Donald John Trump. The thought and the idea are absolutely absurd. But in essence this is what Judge Cannon did.

This can not be conveniently and quietly ignored or swept under the carpet.
