Joining Clarence with her failure to file disclosures. SCOTUS doesn’t have repercussions, hopefully Federal judges do. Wonder if her little trip is where she got the game plan for letting Trump off the hook.

Wait. You mean she’s *corrupt*?!?!?! **:O**

Wouldn’t this, along with here plethora of squirrelly rulings, be enough to support a petition to remove her from the Trump case?

There can only be consequences when the criminals are no longer sitting behind the bench. Vote Blue and return the rule of law to our country.

Why am I not surprised she apparently makes flouting required disclosures a roughly-annual occasion?

As if it wasn’t already clear she was a right-wing hack. She was bad enough on this case to justify her losing her seat before, but it becomes more and more clear she never belonged in law to begin with.

Don’t you just love it when judges get caught for not filing mandatory disclosure statements by innocently claiming they weren’t familiar with said law?
I believe there’s a famous saying that many judges often cite to defendants: “Ignorance of the law is no excuse.”

Pfft if Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito can literally flout their corruption in plain sight, this failed deadline to report, or report accurately, allegation is nothing. I say that joking of course, but with the anger that ALL of this bullshit should have serious repercussions for those involved. In any other job or even branch of government that requires such disclosures, there are consequences. But those rules simply mean nothing to the judicial branch, and it’s tolerated because one side has the system in their hand. Complete and utter bullshit.

Federal judges receive lifetime appointments so that they can faithfully apply the law without fear of repercussions when the law is not favorable to the party in power at the time. This one appears to not give a damn what the law is and instead seems to be granting the wishes of one side of the political aisle even though it is not currently in power.

She also belongs behind bars. Corruption needs to be punished severely.

I think that university-sponsored junkets for federal judges need to end.
Paid junkets are free vacations – and everyone knows it. It’s worse than just giving VIPs a free vacation though, because the payor is also obtaining access to the VIP, and the largesse represents potential political leverage over them (particularly when the judges receive large gifts like RVs and private school tuition for their nephew, etc.).
George Mason University is basically a funnel for the Federalist Society to funnel money from wealthy donors into the hands of pliant judges. The free vacations are the transfer “payments”, but I think we will eventually learn that the junkets are just the visible tip of the iceberg of corruption (because judges have to report the trips that they cannot hide).
The federal judiciary has become an institution very open to accepting junkets from lobbyists, but an institution utterly closed to the public – only the very wealthy and connected can even lobby the judges/justices using these junkets; the justices aren’t going to accept an ACS junket where they are lobbied, for example, to restrict the powers granted to the president to those powers actually enumerated in the Constitution. So there isn’t fair lobbying like there is in Congress/the state house; it’s a self-appointed elite lobbying our life-term-granted federal judiciary who get to shape the law however they want.
This is why Justice Roberts was so surprised by the negative public reaction to *Trump v. U.S.* – every single person on every lobbyist-paid junket he’s ever been on has wanted presidential criminal immunity. Federal judges and justices should come down to the state bars and local law schools so a broader cross-section of the public can lobby federal judges (at least if they are open to accepting lobbying).

Judge Aileen Cannon Failed to Disclose she’s an unqualified partisan hack.
Top_Conversation1652 on
I’m perfectly fine removing her from the case, and I think we have sufficient cause already…
… but as I understand it, the law covers *paid* appearances at this sort of event.
If she wasn’t a paid participant, are we sure it’s applicable?
Note: That’s not a political or even ethical question. The only thing I know about the law is that amateur assumptions aren’t worth much. I’m not saying she’s a functional judge… I’m just wondering if maybe the article includes an assumption that doesn’t quite match reality.
Is anyone familiar enough with this law to clarify?

Cannon with more judicial malpractice, she needs removed from the bench and investigated for her involvement in the crimes.
