She's bludgeoningly obviously compromised. All the way through, her rulings, and the timing and circumstances of them, have not been made in the service of enforcing law, but engineered to benefit Trump.
So really the only question is whether or not justice will prevail. If this is still in any sense a nation of laws, she'll be removed (and hopefully sanctioned for her rather obvious bias and/or corruption).
But to all appearances, this is not a nation of law...
This is not my beautiful house...!
Clarence Thomas: This is not my beautiful wife! (She's white, that's supposed to be illegal!)
Rule by law rather than rule of law, I guess?
Also, why does every portrait cropped picture of Jack Smith use an image that makes him look like he's posing for a Dojo Master photoshoot?
Because it's the least masculine picture of him that has ever been taken.
Is there anything to this, or is it just a hail mary?
Yes, there's teeth to the original appeal. Amicus briefs, however, have to be accepted by the judges before they will entertain any of the arguments and prescribed remedies.
You can file them, and that's generally meaningful, (ignoring how the GOP has bastardized the practice) since it goes on the public record, but the courts may not be open to reading them regardless.
Gill translated from legalese: if a "reasonable member of the public" agrees she has the "appearance of impropriety," Cannon can be removed. This isn't evidence of actual partiality, but only the appearance of it.
This is the correct approach. I hope it works.
Why is Jack Smith dressed like he coaches a dodge ball team at Globo Gym?
Also, can we get another picture of Cannon already?
I agree. Tired of this well done portrait of a terrible "judge" and ugly pictures of Smith. Let's flip that:.
With his disheveled hair and angry glare in 2the majority of pictures he just looks like Cody Johnston's disappointed father. I think he looked better less shaggy, though he could still lighten up a little bit.
Either way, this dude has serious "don't fuck with me" vibes.
Absolutely. If this special prosecutor thing doesn't work out, he can definitely land roles as Overly Strict Commanding Officer, or with the beard, Morally Grey Old West Sheriff.
I really hope this turns into something tangible. There is no excuse for this miscarriage of justice to go unchecked. If it does, it is one more nail in the coffin of the whole system being truly broken and nobody will believe in justice henceforth.
