Oh, good lord. I am beyond disgusted. If it wasn't so serious, I'd find it hilarious that a judge could be so blatantly corrupt.

How can I “like” a post which demonstrates the most corrupt and unqualified judge ignores the ruling and placates the insurrectionist in chief.

Her courtroom is a god’s* damned farce.

Is it a blasphemy if it is all the gods and not just the Christian god?

Fortunately I am not a lawyer! Is there not some legal beagle magic to have this biased judge removed from this case and the bench?💥

Outrageous. Can this be appealed?

Judge Aileen M. Cannon of the Southern District of Florida has a job to do and she's doing it, whether some folks like it or not. While Judge Cannon's and Special Master Judge Dearie's differences are procedural (having to do with process) as TC made clear their tug of war is over who controls the rules and, therefore, who gets the upper hand - Trump or the Justice Department? Cannon has authority over Dearie. She has the upper-hand. Could the 11th District Court of Appeals again play a role in modifying Cannon judging on behalf of Trump? That is the job she is doing. It is called 'Justice Trump's Way'.

Is it within the bounds of the Appeals Court's authority to remove Judge Cannon from the case given the extremely creative nature of her rulings?

Her phone logs, emails and social media postings beginning the day before she heard the Special Master request that should have gone to Judge Reinhardt become more interesting by the day. One wonders if we'll find out that she, like the Secret Service, changed her phone routinely sometime in the past couple of weeks.

This boggles (and more) my mind. What is she being "paid" (future) OR what has she been threatened with??? One wonders. (And what threats or promises keep the GOP idiot squad "in line'. Mafia assisting?? Who knows??) As a novel plot, it would sound beyond crazy........

Good grief!! She is acting as Rump’s defense attorney. Just keep digging your hole Lucy Cannon. There won’t be a good way out!

Where in the Constitution does it say that her rulings have to be obeyed?

Someone’s masked has slipped.

It’s so blatant now. Judges intervene in special master rulings sparingly. After all, the reason the judge appointed a Special Master is that the judge doesn’t have the time or expertise to go into the weeds. After the Special Master renders recommendations, then it’s time to object. This is rather blatant favoritism.

the way I read it, she's telling everybody who disagrees with her insanity to go fuck themselves. in the world all of us here grew up in, the judge in question would be going to great lengths to AVOID looking like a partisan hack. "but that was in another country" and (alas!) this wench ISN'T dead. and in those more innocent times, the wholesale destruction of our courts would also be performed so as to look like something else.

another part of myself, however, is beginning to feel like they can run, but....

I read this three times and still 🤬 "The 11th Circuit is going to have to bring some remedial education to bear in the coming appeal." Remedial and then some.

OK, back to writing GOTV postcards and rocking out with Fleetwood Mac. [sigh]

Does this mean that it's a hopeless situation? I am so angry, frustrated, and yet motivated to keep fighting any way I can... but honestly do we 'David's' stand a chance?!

Who needs an Ian when you can destroy your own future. Talk about DUMB and DIRTY.

This makes me think of noir films where a suitcase full of cash is delivered to the home of a cooperative judge in the dead of night...

And it makes me also believe once again that Trump thought he could use his document theft as a political tool, but things aren't going as planned.
