If this is a dupe, I apologize. Plus I'm not sure if I know how to properly post a tweet.

1. No, you're not wrong ...

However, I hope that Garland doesn't bend over backwards to show how fair he IS with a ruling that is favorable to treasonous, racist, sexist, imbecilic FATSO.

Sorry to be a wet blanket, but nothing I've seen in politics the last decade surprises me any longer, especially this tRumputin, rigged-in presidency or the way treasonous thuglican Senators are caping for their hog-in-chief.

4. I know you're probably right....

.... I'm just thinking about the irony the situation.

2. He's Chief Justice, but it will be a three-judge panel and he may or may not end up among them

Cases are heard by panels of three judges randomly assigned to the case so Garland is not necessarily going to hear the appeal (unless the decision is reviewed by the full court).

3. Not necessarily.

The appeal, which hasn’t been filed yet, will be heard by a three judge panel of the DC circuit. There are 11 active judges on the court - 4 Obama appointees, two Trump appointees, 3 Clinton. One G W Bush and one GHW Bush. Plus there are 7senior status judges who sometimes serve on appellate panels — 5 are Reagan appointees, one a GHW Bush and one a Carter appointee.

Garland is Chief Judge but that doesn’t mean he’ll be on the panel that hears the appeal and even if he is there will be two other judges on that panel.

5. Well, looks like my zeal

.... and not doing proper research has come back to bite me in the rear. maybe I should just delete before everybody else wakes up points out my shortcoming. I guess I can take some comfort knowing that I have a lot of company in the twitterverse.

12. He'd probably recuse himself, if he were named to the panel. nt

17. THIS probably 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻

thuglicans will 99% of the time NOT recuse themselves when they should. Meanwhile, Dems recuse themselves from taking part in a judicial case where there may be a conflict of interest.

6. They will demand he recuse himself.

Then when they eventually lose they will REAPPEAL on the grounds Garland should have recused and we will start the clock all over again. This is all they have left. ENDLESS appeals until drumpf dies.

7. I broke a cardinal rule

Look before you leap.

8. tRump will never die.

Garbage lingers until it rots. Sometimes it takes years and years. He wants to be KING forever. Anyone else with a diet such as his has many health problems. tRump just gets fatter. His neck has disappeared into his chest, he has to rotate his entire upper body to turn his head. He lumbers onto the stage like an arthritic senior citizen, applauding himself with each step. Vile excuse for a human being. I guess the "Be Best" campaign of his "vife" has no affect on him. As usual, he thinks the fault lies with EVERYONE but him.

9. Would the appeal be filed by Fat Donny or by the accounting firm, or both?

10. Thanks for posting this.

Even with all of the "corrections" people have responded with, it's interesting news. Just the fact that Garland is the Chief on this panel is some sweet karma.

Also, I'm not so sure he will have to recuse. After all, Dump never did anything to him. Now, if it were Cocaine Turtle's tax returns...

[onenote]

14. If he's assigned he won't recuse himself

The chief judge doesn’t sit on every three judge panel. Assignments are largely random. If Garland ends up being assigned to the appeal there is no way he recused himself since there is no reason for him to do so

11. Let's hope Karma is a r eal b*tch in this case!

13. Revenge is a Dish Best Served Cold

Donnie gets two scoops of karma-flavored ice cream.

15. Thanks everybody....

.... For not dumping on me when I thought this might be a bigger deal than it is. I will try to be more diligent in the future.

[StarfishSaver]

16. As other have said, that's not a definite

But it would be nice, wouldn't it?
