30. The courts and the judgeships are the right's firewall against the rule of law and the majority.
Mon Jun 3, 2024, 06:26 AM
Jun 2024

In Ohio in 2006 (?) two women were found guilty of rigging the 2004 recount of
Cuyahoga County’s vote. A Republican judge dropped the charges and cut them
lose.

Cannon, Alito, Scalia, Pryor, O’Conner (bush v Gore), Thomas, and so on are not about
the rule of law but about protecting the rule of a Republican minority over the majority
of this nation’s population.

Cannon’s actions in giving cover to Trump for his theft and in my mind no doubt the
dissemination of America’s top secrets is disgraceful she is just one one more right
wing hack whose backing by “The Judicial Crisis Network*” has placed her on a Fed,
Bench Seat where she has no business being because she doesn’t believe in the rule
of law.

A public campaign of complaints is different from a judge's third reversed error, which might yet occur. . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Jun 2024 #9

Sure. But Loose Cannon has been reversed twice in this case already, if my recollection is good. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Jun 2024 #28
There is no "three strikes and your out" rule for judges. onenote Jun 2024 #35
It's not a rule, and no precise tipping point. Not even Cannon knows, but she knows she's on thin ice in this case. . nt Bernardo de La Paz Jun 2024 #39

That in no way is a legitimate reason to turn it down rather they should be looking at the facts of the complaint itself. cstanleytech Jun 2024 #25
So you expect the court to ignore the clearly stated rules regarding such complaints? onenote Jun 2024 #50
Why should orchestrating invalidate legitimate facts? cstanleytech Jun 2024 #59
You miss the point. The rule is intended to save the court from having to process and consider duplicative complaints. onenote Jun 2024 #60
Ahh so essentially it's that it's a duplicate of something else that is already been filed or that was already decided. cstanleytech Jun 2024 #61
