"[Aileen Cannon's bombshell ruling on day 1 of the GOP convention and two days after the attempt on Trump's life is] hilarious because it is unbelievably hubristic. The only credible future for Judge Cannon now is Trump’s first SCOTUS appointment in a second term."

Isn't this kind of a good thing though because it now allows the DC case to move forward, which has been on hold pending Florida?

@1dalm I'd like to hope so. I think it remains to be seen what will happen. The Supreme Court, especially eminently corrupt Justice Thomas, have put a hammer into Aileen Cannon's hand, though, and she seems willing to wield it in the belief she's beyond accountability. She now parses the Constitution for all of us, she'd have us believe — an astonishingly hubristic claim.

@wdlindsy

But that's my point right? She's done. She dismissed that case, it's over. Now the other cases can move forward, right?

@1dalm I definitely hope so, as I say.

@wdlindsy she’s going to retire on the Russian oil money they gave her.
