"I'M in contempt? I'M in contempt? This whole COURT is in contempt!"
Trump judge or not, I don't see this working well for Oozy Oozbourne.

(525 posts)8. Because I know how federal judges are chosen.
Its the luck of the draw as to who is up next for a trial. The Chief Judge of the district court oversees the process and she (Beryl A. Howell) is an appointee of President Obama.

And those three Trump judges have also ruled on scores of other issues that advance the right wing agenda.
