Source: The Guardian (UK)

The far-right Florida Republican Matt Gaetz has hailed Aileen Cannon – the judge who dismissed the classified documents case against Donald Trump – as a “future supreme court justice”.a side-by-side image of Donald Trump, classified documents and Aileen Cannon Florida judge dismisses criminal classified documents case against Trump

“Future supreme court justice Cannon,” Gaetz posted Monday to social media, with a picture of the Florida jurist.

In four years as president, Trump nominated three hardline rightwingers to the supreme court. Tilted 6-3 to the right, the court has delighted conservatives and enraged liberals by handing down epochal rulings against abortion, restricting gun control, granting presidential immunity and more.

Heck, who needs a Supreme Court when you have a Supreme Leader? Or a Congress, or a Judicial Branch. All media is your press corp. Why bother with the optics?

At least we can impeach the SCOTUS justices, but it will take a hell of a long time.

The Repukes need to self-destruct, that's all I can say.

Oh and one more thing: FUCK Matt Gaetz. What an asshole!

That was predictable.

The question is: was she promised that if she dismissed the case?

It’s not an insane question as this judge has been in the tank for Trump from the beginning. Furthermore, her last minute appointment by Trump to the very district where he lives suggests he knew he might need a biased judge.

Thwart worst case scenario.

We stopped Harriet Miers. We can do it again.

And hey, Chuck Schumer. As Senate Majority Leader, you can hold off having a hearing like Mitch McConnell.
