Is there any way I can help someone violate their gag order today?
Or help get a Florida judge removed from a case?

Cannon seems incompetent but she’s providing a clinic on converting a slam-dunk case into a rope-a-dunk.
Is there a jurist analog to ineffective assistance of counsel? Ought to be.

Not that it would matter; she seems indifferent to the public criticism.
Why would a lifetime-appointed Federal judge give a fig about “public criticism”? The only place this idiot woman is going to be judged is by the appeals courts above her. Unless, of course, we manage to take Congress back next year…nah, still won’t have 67 votes for impeachment. And being bad at your job is not grounds for removal…

What in the actual F is it going to take to get Cannon kicked off this case? Surely there is something Smith can do!!
We also need a new law to prevent judges like her from sitting in judgement over those who appointed them!
I WANT karmic payback to come down on her like a load of bricks!

There’s no concerted national outrage over Cannon because TPM is the only one covering this absolute shitshow.
These failures are deliberate. The Media is complicit; owned by the same people that bought boats with their tax cut.

What looks like a dystopic nightmare to normal, decent human beings is paradise to Steven Seagal.
And J.D. Vance, Josh Hawley, and of course Trump:

Especially when it is the Democrats pointing out that a Republican is bad at her job.

There is a wall of ‘experts’ around her, picking these gambits. She’s not experienced enough to game the system. This is a Whole-GOP event management scenario.

Cannon’s every action is being choreographed by Leonard Leo. He’s making sure his buddy is let off the hook.

Stormy Daniels may be cautioned to refrain from providing TMI about details of any sexual acts or description of genitalia. Yikes.

Donald Trump launched into a new attack on the judge in his New York hush money case on Tuesday morning complaining that he’d just learned who would be testifying later in the day—with reports suggesting that porn star Stormy Daniels is about to take the stand.
Her attorney, Clark Brewster, told the Associated Press that Daniels would “likely” be called as a witness on Tuesday. “I have just recently been told who the witness is today,” Trump wrote in the hastily-deleted post on his Truth Social platform, according to screenshots of the text shared on social media. “This is unprecedented, no time for lawyers to prepare. No Judge has ever run a trial in such a biased and partisan way.”

Because, like, who would ever imagine that a trial over illicitly recorded payments to Ms Daniels, that she might actually be called as a witness? UNPRECEDENTED!! UNFAIR!! Nobody could have ever anticipated it!
