Judge Cannon should be asked like a witness to swear on the bible to tell the truth during her hearings!

[Smoovepimp]

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability

Cannon is NEGLIGENT/INCOMPETENT, these are the polite words. POLITICALLY BIASED in Favour of the Defendant demonstrates her UNFITNESS to JUDGE at any level. The penalty should be DISMISSAL without SEVERANCE BENEFITS. NO Pension, Pay or Holiday entitlement. In a Private Company it would be termed GROSS MISCONDUCT with INSTANT DISMISSAL.

U.S. allied countries also need to observe that these proceeding are being handled objectively.
Judge Cannon's obstruction of timely and objective progression of Trump's Florida trial doesn't only deny the public's right to informed voting, but also U.S. allies' need to know if we can be trusted with confidential intelligence information we need them to share with us going forward (thus Cannon is herself endangering our National Security by leaving this unresolved!). 🗺️

[rosemariebredahl]

Surely the years-long pattern linking Trump's rhetoric targeting various entities & subsequent attacks by radical fans of his (& Trump NOT denouncing politically- motivated violence) should be sufficient(?).

[KimberleyJurdison]

Why can’t these people be held accountable for their words😭😭😭

[SubtleHustle]

It’s amazing that anybody believes a word he says, but what’s even scarier are the people that don’t care and he can say anything.

[leaf]

Judge Cannon will soon be making a career change. Let’s give her a rousing send-off.

[rajcan]

Ailing Cannon has learned as long as she avoid written rulings, she can play any kinds of delay games without any negative repercussions. Beauty of lifetime appointment!

[cocacolablood]

Who. exactly, does Cannon actually think she's fooling at this point?

[paddy]

That judge lady wants ta make a name for @ I'm "special"

“The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” -George Orwell

[Pbavtor]

The open corruption of this judge and half the SCOTUS is appalling and humiliating. As is Jesse Watters every time he talks romantically about trump.

[Tcb]

She REALLY wants that Supreme Court seat, doesn't she.

[terry]

How can this fool of a judge be given this case? She seems corrupt, incompetent with ignorance bordering on stupidity.

[vgilbert]

I don't understand why someone can't be sued over that

[shannon]

Sad that Judge Cannon cares more about the criminal defendant than she does about the law and law enforcement 😔

[RumpoleoftheBailey]

Cannon never does anything other than issue paperless orders.

[bwayne]

Cannon is unqualified to be on this case
