Oh, my. What a difference an independent judge makes.

“Independent”?

Lou, a judge who leaves politics at the door. A tribunal overseer calling balls & strikes according to our constitution.

Yeah... but they did 't want to bring that up, it would have tipped their hand. If there's anything the modern Republican party can't stand, it's full disclosure. As in... under Roberts the Supreme Court is busy rewriting the Constitution and overturning about a century's worth of jurisprudence, just as the Republican strategists had planned. And all six members of the Con majority all testified about their great respect for settled case law. They were lying. They perjured themselves. All six should be impeached and removed. And in a perfect world they would be.

I recall wanting the question, “If you overturn standing precedent can we impeach you, without complaint?” Never happened but, man, I wish it was.

You mean like CJ John Roberts said he was when he perjured himself before the Senate in order to win confirmation???

Keith, yeah just like the known racist Robert’s. Not. Recall his work before landing on the court. Finding ways to disenfranchise minority voters.

Judge Chutkan, you go Girl! Time for accountability for the Defendant. Now let’s beat him hard in the election and put his butt behind bars!

She did not come to play. I LOVE her!

Talk about the Friday news Trump. Has ketchup been delivered to Mar-a-Lago?

That's why this Jack Smith shirt will NEVER get old 👇 🤣

She said “oxymoronic!”

She threw in “unofficial!”

BWAAHAAHAA!

It's judicial-speak for "bullshit."

[I know - I've been a lawyer for 44 years and an administrative law judge for 15 of those]

I LOVED THAT. Her language indicates some frustration and impatience with the defendant. LOVE IT!!

Yes . that's the slap I mentioned in my other post. Well deserved I might add!

Dropped my ballot off this morning, got a text it was received about 3 hours ago, another text it's approved and will be counted an hour ago, and now this news. What a wonderful day. Ketchup will be flying.

May I ask... what state has all of those checks and texts? I ask because in some states the Republicans are being so sneaky that they won't even tell you that your ballot was deemed null and void. Which is pretty low & dirty & conniving, just the way they like to do things.

I'm no political genius... obviously... but seems to me if you've got to hide from the voters then your political party has some real problems. Something they're obviously well aware of.

Very well said…I am excited about Monday to cast my vote for the best candidate to run since President Biden in 2020, who beat the lice-infested felon and his victory held up through 63 court cases, fake electors, multitude of the felon’s minions and a f’ing insurrection that lying POS used to overthrow millions of votes. He will be defeated again! Because #ETTD and we will have our first Madam President!!! 💙💙💙#VoteHarrisWalz💙💙💙#VoteBlueDownBallot💙💙💙#TurnTXBlue💙💙💙

Thanks for the compliment. I've been trying to use words better. Glad to see it's paying off, at least a little bit. And I agree with your sentiments about Trump and his minions (I think he found them at Henchmen R Us, there was a sale and they were priced to move). Trump is a con artist extraordinaire. Or, and this seems more likely to me, he's a somewhat above average con artist who has found that's all it takes when conning people who want to be conned. It really is a big help when the fish jump in the boat. Or when the marks are practically begging to be fleeced. And Trump is persistent. That's really helped him. He'd never have gotten as far as he has if he wasn't extraordinarily persistent. He has to be, because he's a lousy businessman. If it wasn't for fraud and deception, he'd have been washed up years ago.

So I'm with you, HARRIS/WALZ in 2024!!! And if they're any good 2028 too.

Oh, they will be excellent!

And we won’t have to listen to that pathetic whiny a** b•••• anymore.

I’ve tried to be civil with my words, but the 24/7/365 WAB happy hour MSM has on, is just too f’ing much.

The best part will be the continuation of America healing and erasing all the awful things that self-serving vile POS has thrown on us.

I thank God every day we have President Biden at the helm. Just think what it would be like if that two-bit evil shyster had kept his nose out of govt persuading the cretins in Congress how to vote.

I hang on to a thread of hope that every single one of those cretins that took part in J6 have an indictment filed and warrants for their immediate arrest the day after they declare Harris Walz the winners.

#TurnAmericaBlue #VoteHarrisWalz #VoteBlueDownBallot, which my hubby and I did on Monday!

Chutkan is so smart. I used to have her sister as a doctor - she was also brilliant.

Oh, yes. I never appeared before Her Honor, but my husband did. He had only praise.

Judge Chutkan...maintaining HER courtroom, and HER rulings...and, NO, defendant tRump's campaigning for office means dick in MY courtroom.

I appreciate she said “oxymoronic”.

Thank you Judge Chutkan. The Court is separate and could care less—Trump and his lawyers are professional litigants. Roy Cohen was trump’s guide for decades untile he was dying from

AIDS. Trump is a fraud and Aileen Cannon, stop calling yourself a Federal Judge. She’s next.

I like how Punk Trump threw Cohen over the minute Cohen became a liability. Cohen deserved no less.

A pattern of behavior Trump has continued through the years.

Oh, wow, that’s fantastic!!

Excellent. Let’s get this out there as soon as possible.

Why?

Expand full comment

Why? Because it bears directly on this election, that's why. It should be crystal clear exactly what kind of man Trump is... before the election, not after.

Sunshine is the best disinfectant.

Better question: Why not?

Because the more people know, the more informed their decisions.

As another judge (McBurney in hammering the Georgia election board's attempt to turn a ministerial duty into a discretionary one) recently said in quoting Gandalf, "You shall not pass."

From your lips to Judge Chutkan’s ears! 🤩🤩🤩

It is good to know that there are still justices who will follow the law and make decisions independent of public opinion, media presentations or personal interests and biases.

Perhaps there is some hope for the nation, yet.
