Cannon dismissed documents case.

[Pom]

Just announced on local channel NBC.

Of course. He’s gonna get away with it all.

[mrsd2006]

I am shocked (not). I wonder what they promised her.

[heat40]

Great. More shit on top of this shitty ass weekend. She’s been overruled by the appeals court before. I got the impression they weren’t fans of her bullshit rulings, so here’s hoping they shut her ass down again. Even though it is a conservative court, they’ve done the right thing before.

[prettyinpearls]

Now I'm the one who wants to throw ketchup against the wall.

[fortnightlily]

*primal scream*

[smock]

If the appeals court overrules her, is there any chance the revived case would go to a different judge? Please?!?

[stuffandthings]

I'm annoyed but I get the vibe that this is gonna be overturned on appeal. Seems sketch.

[Velar Fricative]

The appeal seems like it would be successful, so she probably did this feeling certain about Trump’s chances of winning in November and could score brownie points to be part of his administration or on the SCOTUS. It wouldn’t matter if the appeals court does the right thing, loyalty is what matters to Trump.

Will this go to the Supreme Court? Because we know how that will turn out… it seems like her decision goes against all precedent.

It would go to the 11th circuit first.

[pixy0stix]

Of course she did.

Sorry- I should have said would this eventually go to the Supreme Court- I know there are steps before we get there.

It's a federal case, so it could, but one party would have to petition the Court to hear it and then they'd have to agree to hear it first.

I've read that some people on the left think this is a good thing. That finally they can appeal and get a real judge.

[Pom]

I literally screamed “that bitch”.

Giving a traitor like that orange cesspool, free rein to sell us out to our highest bidding enemies, is certainly a choice for our future.

If voters don’t find enough reasons to go to the polls this cycle…I mean holy shit. What more do they need?

[livinitup]

I keep thinking “Oh, this is just the Villian’s arc in the movie, we haven’t reached the part where justice kicks in.”

Uhm, I don’t think justice is kicking in. There are too many god damn flying monkeys everywhere.



The really tough part is that this was such a good case.

It could eventually. The NYT noted that very recently, Thomas stated something in one of his rulings (might have been a concurrence) about special prosecutors not being constitutional even though the case didn’t involve special prosecutors, so reporters and people wondered why he’d say that. And then this happens. Cannon clearly does not have any kind of independent mind.

[wawa]

The fact that the WaPo sent an email with this headline with a photo of the boxes of documents in FUCKING BATHROOM killed me dead. Like, need to carefully build a case and dot all our i's and avoid all appearance of blah blah blah but in the meantime MAL was just stuffed full of documents and he didn't give them back when asked and we all know this is true and apparently it might not matter one fucking bit.

Also, I know that trumps transgressions were worse because he also refused to return them when asked - but just in general how hard is it to not keep boxes of sensitive documents in weird places? Since apparently everybody does this. I know AGENCY STAFF don't but apparently electeds are like, "welll...I mean...sensitive documents sure, but why CAN'T i put them in my guest room closet? It's so much more convenient for ME.

That's what I heard too.... Basically Thomas threw her a bone on an unrelated case & winked at her to toss the case.  It was really terrible but got lost in all the other really horrible things they did.

It's good they can finally appeal, but:

1) not likely to be resolved before Nov
2) no guarantee it wouldn't go back to her
3) it's all moot if Trump wins

This is a really weird time to be a lawyer. No law, just vibes, from the supposed "best and brightest" in the legal profession.

[basilosaurus]

Fuck that bitch
