Judge Cannon is a cog in the right wing coup to take over America and she is not stupid either.

We have to crush these Christo Fascisti Coup Birds. They have not stopped their un-American shit after Trump's defeat
and their 1/6/21 Fascisti "Black Shirts" attack on the US Capitol and the Constitution if anything they have increased
their attacks just to see just how much shit they can get away with, they have unlimited money, and much of the media
too.

We have to crush them at the ballot box and in early voting this fall.

Cannon has been a member of the Federalist Society since 2005.

From Wiki

Early life and education:
Aileen Mercedes Cannon was born in 1981 in Cali, Colombia. Her mother had fled Cuba under Fidel Castro.[2] She attended Ransom Everglades School, a private high school in Miami, Florida.[3]

After graduating from Duke University in 2003 with a Bachelor of Arts, Cannon worked as a paralegal for the U.S. Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division from 2003 to 2005. She then attended the University of Michigan Law School, where she was an articles editor for the University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform. She graduated in 2007 with a Juris Doctor magna cum laude and Order of the Coif membership.[1][4]

Legal career:
After law school, Cannon was a summer associate at the law firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher (now Gibson Dunn) in its Washington, D.C. office. From 2008 to 2009, she was a law clerk to judge Steven Colloton of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. She then returned to Gibson Dunn from 2009 to 2012.

From 2013 until her judicial appointment in 2020, Cannon was an assistant U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida.[4] Cannon worked in the district's major crimes section from 2013 to 2015, then in its appellate section from 2015 to 2020.[1]

Cannon has been a member of the Federalist Society since 2005.

I don't care how much education she has. How many so called smart people support Trump? A lot of smart lawyers are going to prison because they are stupid.

... by being stupid. It would be better if she was stupid and what she did could be blown off as
being dumb but this tells me she is evil, knows just what she is doing, and Trump appointed her
after he lost the election to a court that had Merde a Logo in its district.

Why does Florida skew hard right? Why does the GOP like dictators? Why do republican politicians act like mobsters? Why does the money and influence of the 1960’s Cuban refugees and their offspring fuel the Republican Party? It’s not all coincidence.

Tells a lot. She is not some jurist naive about politics. As you wrote she knows exactly what she is doing and doesn't care about the law.
