32. You can bet she only hires rabid Federalist Society members
Thu Mar 21, 2024, 02:10 PM
Mar 21

and if they are deserting her, you can bet there is a serious problem somewhtere.

My guess is that everything they do is as ignored as the amicus briefs the woman refused to read because they contradicted TFG's view of things.

Cannon really has to go. She's not introspective enough to realize how badly and deeply she's stepped in doodoo.

It's time for saner people to begin the process of sidelining her in preparation for encouraging her to resign.

I was wondering if any clerk was helping her with the decisions. LiberalFighter Mar 21 #1

Maybe they have evidence. Go to Jack Smith with direct eyewitness testimony re the judge's activities and communications ancianita Mar 21 #16
None of that matters, Jack Smith must file a motion to have her recuse, or thrown out the case. Escurumbele Mar 21 #19
The fact that she didn't immediately recuse herself ScratchCat Mar 21 #21
