Who knew all you needed to make yourself above the law was appoint your own judges... The level of corruption going on in front of our eyes is astounding, they're barely even trying to hide it at this point.

They're banking on the assumption that they won't have to once Trump wins the election.

They are banking on the fact that impeaching judges is both extemely rare and very time consuming.

obviouspornalt ,

And that a Republican-held house of representatives will never impeach.

Fuck. How do you fight that?

If the birth rate keeps declining, theoretically some day they'll be forced to implement policies that help instead of harm people. You can fight by making sure as many people as possible are aware of this.

They'd probably reinstate slavery before they do that.

You've caused me now to imagine a reality where the stupid thing that orange asshole advocates changes from "they aren't sending their brightest" to "we literally can't trap enough of them here" and I don't like it

If they wouldn't have violated the constitution, it might not have gotten dismissed, at least not on those grounds. There was also the fbi tampering with evidence

Well, neither of those things happened.

Media will be picking up on that “rigged judiciary” at any moment now

henfredemars ,

Anyone with half a brain knows it's a blatantly corrupt system having little to do with law.

Exactly, that's why it got dismissed

tuck182 ,

You're right, but not in the way you think you are.

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, who was appointed to the bench by Trump

I’m in NZ right now and 2 people have asked if I’m home shopping.

This might be good news: instead of drawing out the case for 10 years, the judge just ruled all special prosecutors are unconstitutional. If the appeals court reverses thus ridiculous rulling, we might see the trial much sooner.

Jack Smith wasn't appointed by the President and wasn't confirmed by the Senate. That's the reason for the dismissal. It was obviously just a partisan hit job

A judge that Trump appointed throwing out a case against Trump is ruling based on partisan politics.

WanderingVentra ,

Special prosecutors have been allowed through legal cases for 30 years now at least. They are settled law. Hell, they used one on Hunter Biden recently I believe.

BigMacHole ,

That's DIFFERENT!

cabron_offsets ,

Where the fuck in the constitution is there a stipulation that a prosecutor in the executive branch has to be confirmed by the senate? You people can’t keep your shit straight with your “unitary executive” wet dream. Worthless traitor garbage.

braindefragger ,

No you don’t understand. Commenter was told these talking points. There’s no “thinking” happening here.

FiremanEdsRevenge ,

You're again spreading misinformation the AG has the say in the appointment of the special counsel.

tortina_original ,

Do you actually require help breathing or you manage it on your own?

BigMacHole ,

It was an OFFICIAL ACT OF THE PRESIDENCY and therefore LEGAL according to the Supreme Court!

This isn't the first special council in the United States there have been many of these in the past, with the first one in 1875. Throwing this out would not likely hold up in court due to the long trail of use in the past.

The fact that something deemed unconditional has happened a lot before doesn't justify it as constitutional. Only text can do that.
