Judge Eileen Cannon declined to set a standard deadline in the Mar-a-Lago document theft case, meaning the case won't go to trial before the 2024 election. Her actions pandering to defendant Donald Trump's best interests are a clear example of her working for her defense.
Anyone who has followed the Mar-a-Lago documents case will be familiar with Judge Cannon's blatant support for Trump. The question is, what should we do about it?
“I think it is time for House Democrats to introduce an impeachment resolution against Eileen Cannon. She is practicing law. playing cards, not as an impartial judge. „Of course it will fail, but it will put a spotlight on her betrayal,“ said Norm Ornstein, a scholar emeritus at the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank. I have written Above the post about Judge Eileen Cannon's midnight sentencing.
Mr. Ornstein is also, most importantly, an expert on the U.S. Congress on this issue.
In light of the fact that House Republicans are currently seeking to impeach President Joe. biden An administration where an impeachment inquiry is launched simply because it doesn't like Biden's policies (as you know, the policies the voters chose), for reasons that are still unclear, and without any evidence or even a hint of action that would justify an impeachment inquiry. members are also turning to impeachment as a political tool. case.
This is a deliberate move by House Republicans to support Donald Trump's campaign in the upcoming election, with the absolutely necessary two impeachments of Donald Trump and political motives surrounding the Biden family's loan repayments. This is to confuse the toothless impeachment commotion that is based on this.
The impeachment fan fiction that Republicans are creating with people's tax dollars and selling for political purposes is what the people Republicans should be supporting have been doing since they descended the golden escalator to announce their candidacy in June 2015. In the same way, it undermines the rule of law.
However, while impeachment proceedings against Judge Cannon will not materialize, they will in fact be an attempt to return the country to the rule of law.
Introducing an impeachment resolution against her will no doubt expose Democrats to further accusations from Republicans that they are politically motivated, but more importantly, it will force the US media to believe that red meat is a way of life. It will certainly give us the “two sides” of prosperity.
But it may be time for Democrats to stop worrying about how the media obscures anti-democratic forces. Because those who know already know, and those who don't know don't watch cable news or pay to read the New York paper. Anyway times.
Social media allows Democrats to get their message to voters and, if they're brave enough, to force the media to perform on their behalf, something Republicans have long held. You will be able to accomplish exactly the same thing as you did.
Of course, that's not good for democracy in the long run. And certainly Democrats shouldn't operate like Republicans. But it is a fatal mistake to follow the rules and think that the rules will save you during a war with an authoritarian. Rules exist only to be used as a weapon against democracy by authoritarians. As Judge Cannon so ably demonstrates, this law has been weaponized to apply only to opponents of countries grappling with democratic backsliding.
An impeachment resolution against Cannon would serve the same purpose as impeaching Donald Trump. It is pointed out that this is not a good thing. Official challenge to her abuse of the judicial system. A warning that the House Republican majority is very thin.
The Democratic Party has begun to show unexpected skill in combating the far-right and far-left anti-democratic forces that reside primarily within the Republican Party. It's a big battle, but either it happens or the country succumbs to the dictator.
