Amicus: Judge Cannon must be fired out of a cannon into the sun.
Amicus
this is a fine example of how skipping the first word of a sentence can lead to severe depression and confusion upon re-reading.
Or how knowing Latin but not knowing the context can lead to extreme confusion.
For context: “amicus” means “friend” in Latin, but, in context, is short for ‘amicus brief’, as in ‘friend of the court’. An amicus brief is often filed by an outside party in support of one litigant or another in high-profile (and often controversial) cases.
that's a big cannon. can we instead just send her up that way on the boeing starliner?
So, no return!
Firing someone into the sun would be expensive and very difficult. Firing someone at the sun would be much more economical and just as effective.
So much fodder
im just going to go over here and hold my breathe while we wait for the conservative-stacked court system to police itself
I'm sure you'll be fine. It'll be any time now...
Narrator, "It wasn't."
Ron Howard has too much power....
This sickens me to no end. I’ve been searching for any sort of recourse for judges who do not uphold their oath or follow the rules of being a judge. There doesn’t seem to be any.
Not only that, the so-called rules use l gauge such as “You SHOULD…”, which to me suggests there is wiggle room to not follow the rule. On top of that, there seems to be something called Absolute Immunity (look in the section titled Notable judges involved in misconduct allegations), which is a doctrine made by judges to protect judges.
This is bullshit. How the hell could the judicial system skirt any sort of accountability, but the executive and congressional branches do not? I mean all three branches pretty much get away with everything anyway, but at least there is a slim possibility that the other two can be punished. Not judges though. They are untouchable. No wonder Alito and Thomas are so brazen in their snubbing the “rules”.
I’m fucking disgusted and need to get off the internet for the night.
Impeachment and removal by Congress was supposed to be the check on the judicial branch but Congress isn't exactly working correctly with just two parties and Republicans in some sort of lockstep death cult that's willing to ignore laws.
If I hire jabronis, my boss fires me for failing at my job, right?
Can't the case be made that the state l Senate intentionally neglected their duties with malice by electing judges who work against the Constitution?
Then, after convicting them of sedition, remove the illegally placed judges?
In theory, Judges hold individual people accountable, the representatives of the people hold the judges accountable, the people collectively hold their representatives accountable.
However, if a significant part of the representatives refuses to do their job, and the nature of the two-party FPTP system combined with highly effective identity politics makes it hard to hold them accountable for it, the system breaks down.
It'd be nice, but the record-breaking number of federal judges appointed during his presidency is one of the primary reasons I think we fucked for a generation or two.
If such conditions persist, you are surely right.
Yeah, the rest of us knew that years ago now.
It took me 30 minutes to get what they meant when they said "reassigned ". I first thought they meant reassigned to the case that made everything else confusing. They meant reassigned to a different case.
And here I was thinking that they were suggesting reassignment therapy….
Same here, it was a terrible choice of wording. Or they could have followed immediately with “and a new judge should be assigned…”
Look, whatever retirement package she would get at the end of her working life, just give it to her now if she agrees to resign.
Don’t reward bad behavior. She should be impeached and removed.
I think their point is to get them out of office at any cost in order to protect the public.
I get it but my point stands. What’s going to stop the next idiot president and senate putting ridiculous judges in place so they can get a pay out for being a shitty judge?
Nothing. Not even impeachment. The country was built on a wink and a handshake along with the naive hope that humans would be honorable.
