Judge Cannon has postponed Trump's classified documents trial and didn't set a new start date.

The Supreme Court is slow walking Trump's classified documents case, which has delayed his Jan 6 trial.

The federal judiciary is effectively acting like a MAGA campaign arm.

@rbreich Direct result of Mitch McConnell withholding approval of qualified Obama nominees until a Republican president was elected. That president was Trump, who nominated unqualified flunkies the Republican Senate blank checked because of the letter after the name of the president nominating them. Seems to have worked out really well for Trump, not so much for the American people.

@rbreich This is explicitly why spots were held open for Trump's appointees. This is what Republican success looks like after generations of actively working to lay the groundwork for an overtly fascist takeover.

MAGAts aren't Republicans gone rogue, it's Republicans triumphant.

@rbreich The Federalist Society judges in the federal judiciary work as a MAGA campaign arm.

FTFY

@rbreich So when does the Supreme Court get put on trial for the unreported in kind contribution to the Trump campaign?

Judge Cannon has been bought by the same corrupt system of patronage that bought the unqualified, yet loyal, Kavanaugh & Coney Barrett their seats on the Supreme Court.

Dangling the carrot of future gains in front of Cannon must be irresistible to her

Unqualified. Temperamentally unsuited. Biased. Poorly educated. Not very bright. Venal. She's a perfect future GOP nominee

why isn't jack smith and those on the anti-maga side doing anything about the situation? do the wheels of justice really turn slowly or is there just no driver in the vehicle this time?

@rbreich it's not even just MAGA. The rich have a different justice system.

@rbreich What's new? The judiciary has been in the pocket of the rich for decades.

@rbreich Judge Cannon should have been removed from office the case. She has no intention to set a trial date.

@rbreich is this finally the last straw? Is this what gets her finally booted out?

@rbreich That right there should be grounds for her removal.

But if her wearing a fucking MAGA hat wasn't enough, nothing will be.

ALL those appointed by trump should have been removed on January 7th 2021.
But they weren't.
The coup DID happen.

@rbreich All true but really Merrick Garland slow walking the indictments is the original problem. They could have brought some of these charges in 2021 and they would have had more than enough time to get these trials finished. Garland didn't want to.

@rbreich Cannon has demonstrated her allegiance to the slob who appointed her time and time again. She tried to get a "special master" appointed but was reversed on appeal.
That was good work, still, I'd like to see a more aggressive stance from the prosecutor.

Nothing new here. It’s simply the 2 tiered justice system in action.

@rbreich We need court reform!! I want Biden to use his mandate once re-elected to do something about this disastrous super majority Supreme Court. The way Alioto, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch and the others jump in to try and help the lawyers doing Trump's bidding... the corruption is so obvious. It's disgusting.

Hate to point this out, but when you post things like this you make so much extra work for the punditutes STILL swearing justice is right around the corner...

Some of those judges would be unemployed without him appointing them to spots they're really not qualified for.
