Judge Cannon Slammed for "Erratic" and "Dangerous" Behavior

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Judge Aileen Cannon’s decision to toss out Donald Trump’s classified documents case by ruling special counsel Jack Smith’s appointment unconstitutional flies in the face of legal precedent, and the law itself, according to a former federal solicitor.

Neal Katyal, who while serving as acting solicitor general helped draft the Department of Justice’s regulations for installing special counsels, challenged the Trump-appointed judge’s ruling in a New York Times op-ed Tuesday. He slammed Cannon’s claim that no congressional law authorized the special counsel’s appointment as “palpably false.”

Cannon’s decision “is legally unsupported, ignores decades of precedent and is deeply dangerous,” Katyal said, describing her actions as “highly erratic.”

Katyal argued that the regulations on special counsel appointments were drafted under specific congressional laws. In particular, Katyal referred to U.S. Code 28 Section 515, which grants the attorney general, in this case Merrick Garland, the power to commission attorneys “specially retained under authority of the Department of Justice” as “special assistant[s] to the attorney general or special attorney[s].”

3. Hope she gets egg on her face

And the 11th Cir. reverses. And SCOTUS better play fair too. She’s a joke. Should never have taken the case. Her getting it was a sick joke played by the Gods.

4. I hope the 11th Circuit rules like they did the last time --

against her and gives her a good "talking to"... of course, I think more than a talking to is warranted. I believe she shouldn't be a judge until she goes back for remedial education. There is precedent for doing this, btw... it wasn't to a federal attorney like Cannon, but it was to a state's Attorney General. He was not allowed to go back to his position until his fine was paid and he attended remedial law education classes. Not that I think it's done him much good... it was the govt hangers-on of the Brownback coalition.

5. Yeah, but it gets her all the way up Trump's festering ass

Maybe even far enough to see Lindsay Graham.
