Screw you, Judge Cannon

July 15, 2024 (Vol. 18 No. 31) - In a rank act of partisan bias, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon this morning threw out the classified documents case against Former President Donald Trump. Her excuse: The appointment of Special Prosecutor Jack Smith violated the Constitution. I am not an attorney, nor have I played one on TV. However, there is a legal term - I think it is Latin - that covers the judge's action: Bullshit. Special prosecutors have been used in this country - with the full support of the judiciary - for decades. This is just another example of Judge Cannon bending over backwards to help her political benefactor. Several times during this case, Judge Cannon has made spurious rulings - some of which have been roundly rejected by higher courts. I have absolutely no doubt today's decision will be overturned. Even the Supreme Courts' recent ridiculous ruling on presidential immunity only covers official acts that occurred during the a president's term of office. In this case, Donald Trump's illegal actions and obstruction of justice occurred after the voters kicked his fat orange ass out of the White House. The timing of this decision is also questionable, just hours before the opening the Republican National Convention. This Stepford Judge has given the neocons in Milwaukee a talking point they will undoubtedly beat to death. In appealing this nonsensical decision to the U.S. Court Appeals, Smith should also seek sanctions against and removal of Judge Cannon. Trump had no business elevating this minimally talented attorney to the federal judiciary. She was grossly under qualified - not that it mattered to the Republican controlled Senate. In Trump World, the only qualification that matters is sycophantic devotion to Failure 45. Because of this past weekend's failed assassination attempt, Trump is now being worshiped among his followers as a martyr. (For the record: I abhor all acts of political violence ) With the Democratic Party in disarray and Trump-appointed judges turning the Constitution on its ear, I fear we are entering the most dangerous period in our nation's history. Donald Trump, I hope you recover from your wounds in time for the American people to reject you, again. Judge Cannon, I hope there is a special place in hell for people who sell out their country for positions of power. That's it for now. Fear the Turtle.
