She needs to stop being a judge. She is supremely unqualified and has a clear political agenda.
She's gonna be on SCOTUS within a decade.
President DeSantis' first pick.
I just threw up in my fucking mouth
And I threw up in my eating mouth!
I think you're using your mouth wrong, mate. Try holding that stuff in.
Please don’t use the word supreme anywhere near a description of Cannon.
Does
Aileen Cannon is supremely deserving of being appointed to the highest (lit.) court by being fired out of a cannon into the sun.
Fit your favor better?
Love the sentiment. Still concerned about tempting fate with that adverb though.

She's only unqualified because you think that she should be fair and experienced. Neither of those attributes are desirable for trump, which is why he put her in that seat.
Hanlon's razor.
Either way, the only resolution is disbarment/impeachment.
More like Trumpet's cannon.
What if she's feigning stupidity to enact malice?
You’d have to be pretty dumb to try that.
Even if she is disbarred, it won’t matter. She will still be a federal judge.
Impeachment is the only way to correct this shitshow. She isn’t qualified to work at McDonald’s.

How is it not a conflict of interest that “Donald Trump appointed her to the lifetime position”. ? Haven’t judges been asked to recuse themselves over less? I’m genuinely confused.
I don't think that's fundamentally disqualifying. What's the proposal on who could reasonably try this case? Are appointees by political opponents okay? Only appointees pre Clinton?
The bigger problem, regardless of who is on trial, is she was never supposed to be on the bench.
Her promotion was purely ideological. It had nothing to do with her legal accumen.
It's definitely possible Trump could have found someone who was both technically skilled AND sheep dipped well enough not to be an obvious hack. But... why bother? The Senate didn't care enough to block her and they certainly aren't going to impeach her.
So democracy is working as designed.
I also don't think it's too high of a bar for the public to want a judge not appointed by the defendant for a criminal trial.

Is anything "fundamentally disqualifying"? It appears to me that nothing is. It's all honor code bullshit that only works when everyone is acting in good faith.

In a normal court, the justices are often held in high regard, whereby whomever appointed them is hardly even a factoid.
The problem is that with Trump, he's known for quid pro quo as well as just not even knowing the person. Odds are good that Bannon slipped her name to Trump and suddenly she's "the most brilliant legal mind the nation has ever known. Just brilliant. Very smart."
Besides being nominated by Trump, I'm not sure if the prosecutors had any standing to have her recused.

Living in America 🎶
GOP doesn't hire people for their qualifications, only their perceived blind loyalty to the party
often has trouble understanding
"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it."
To me, it looks like she's feigning confusion just to give her yet another excuse to shit all over the prosecution. The defense made an absurd request, the judge acted like she was having trouble understanding until the prosecution said something out of frustration and Cannon hopped on him for it.
Serious question. No joke. no hyperbole. Outside of outright dismissing the case (which she already said she intends to do after the jury is seated, so double jeopardy attaches), has she made a single ruling that wasn't heavily in Trump's favor? Has a single dispute not ended with her somehow blaming and shitting on the prosecution?
Lawyer: Ok, so its a futuristic movie set in the distant past in a galaxy far far away... A galaxy is a collection of planetary sytems... Earth is a planet..... No. No that doesn't mean there's humans on .. Your honour its a fictional movie... No I'm not calling you stupid... Fine hold me in contempt.
This lady is a pathetically corrupt clown
Brainless twit is a threat to the U.S.
Sadly not that unusual. Lots of judges are . . . not great lawyers.
To be fair a judge mostly uses a slightly different skill set, practically speaking. But that doesn’t matter here, she’s objectively corrupt and terrible. Impeachment or trebuchet-to-the-sun.
What jurisdiction do you practice in, if you don't mind asking? I work in one of the bigger trial courts in the United States and have NEVER seen lawyers have to explain a concept like this to any judicial officer I've ever worked with across 5 years of trial. Aileen Cannon is a national disgrace.
If your own law clerks have quit on you…you have to be pretty terrible.
Yeah this is embarrassing for her, frankly.

'How' what? Either their editors suck and missed the opening sentence or I'm just incapable of parsing English anymore.
