This is why Mitch McConnell wanted to pack the courts.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

“There are just too many pre-trial motions yet to be decided for us to continue on the original plan*” she opined, having chosen not to decide them in the when they were raised months ago.
*- not an actual quote
She took up the case so fast, decided to not recuse herself due to biased interests, drops the case anyway.
I imagine everyone with 2 brain cells knew what was happening. At least she doesn't have control of the case anymore.
Go figure. Conservative judge does everything she can to delay the trial, and then postpones it, making sure no new judge will be able to catch up with the case in time for the election.
It's fucked up how overtly horrid and traitorous conservatives are nowadays - the founding fathers put too much faith in people when they made that constitution.
That's why they designed it as a living document to be amended all the time. Hamilton wanted us to change our government every 10 years or so to keep it modern.
The confederate shitbags who wormed their way onto our government had other ideas.
Amplified by operation paperclip!
Legitimate question... I thought Operation Paperclip just brought over the Nazi scientists after WWII? What am I missing? We're there politicians or other Nazi party members included?
In all, more than 1,600 Nazis were given safe haven in the United States so their skills and knowledge could be exploited to maintain American military superiority.
They were also recruited by intelligence agencies during the Cold War.
That makes more sense, I didn't realize it affected intelligence communities as well.
There’s a book by Eric Lichtblau called the Nazis Next Door that explores it.
The CIA helped other Nazis gain access to the US to covertly collect information on Communists as part of an overzealous Cold War policy. Elizabeth Holtzman described the book as a "fast paced, important book about the justice department's efforts to bring Nazi war criminals in the United States to justice that also uses recently declassified facts to expose the secret, reprehensible collaboration of U. S. intelligence agencies with those very Nazis". source
And she skipped home singing, I am a piece of shit! I am a piece of shit! all the way.
My hot take is that she figures she's delayed it as long as she possibly can, so now she's washing her hands of it.
Jack Smith will appeal, of course, and now has grounds to seek a new judge, but it doesn't matter. The damage is done. Any new judge assigned to the case will have to get up to speed, and that will take time.
How does this not end her career?
how many time has this been said in reference to conservatives destroying institutions to further their right wing authority and power?
I'm guessing several thousand.
Lifetime appointment. She can serve as long as Congress lets her and there's no way the GOP will impeach a conservative judge.
So blatant in your face corruption from the republicans. They're doing a lot of that these days.
This woman is a complete disgrace
We live in corporatocracies masquerading as "democracies"
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Judge Aileen Cannon has indefinitely postponed former President Donald Trump’s classified documents trial in Florida, citing significant issues around classified evidence that would need to be worked out before the federal criminal case goes to a jury.
In an order Tuesday, Cannon cancelled the May trial date and did not set a new date.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
The original article contains 63 words, the summary contains 63 words. Saved 0%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Didn’t conservatives whine endlessly about “activist jurists”? Def the pot calling the kettle black.
G.aslight O.bstruct P.roject
its a definitive feature of the conservative movement
