      I tried to chat up this woman the other day, and she called me revolting, so I guess I am as ready as can be.

        At least you presumably care about democracy. As a straight male, I would sooner spend the night with you than a MAGA judge. Don’t care how you present…

          I know you’re probably joking, but it’s good to keep in mind what I’ve heard a lot while dealing with homeless folk called trauma responses. Take a second and try and think why and what could bring someone to respond a certain way. Yeah they may just be a dbag but they may also have dealt with a lot of things you’d never wish upon your worst enemy.

            In short, I should give her a pass because anyone that tries to tear down our democracy must have gone through some bad shit?

            Oh, wait, the woman you tried to chat up wasn’t Eileen Cannon?

        WE didn’t. They stole specific judicial appointments for MAGA, then expanded their authority. The good news is, they have no enforcement. We could literally just ignore their rulings, and should, as they are an illegitimate court.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The federal judge overseeing former President Trump’s classified documents case granted his request to delay a few deadlines further so prosecutors can evaluate the Supreme Court’s immunity ruling.

    Trump’s lawyers on Friday asked Judge Aileen Cannon for permission to file more documents to argue that the former president should be immune from prosecution in the case.

    Trump’s lawyers say the recent Supreme Court decision that grants presidents protections for official acts should apply to the case, in which he is accused of mishandling classified records and attempting to obstruct the government from retrieving them after he was out of office.

    His lawyers also noted Justice Clarence Thomas’s concurring opinion in the Supreme Court decision, where he questioned special counsel Jack Smith’s motivations and authority.

    Smith argued that fallout from the Supreme Court decision doesn’t apply to the documents case because he has not charged Trump over any official acts.

    Cannon was criticized after she suspended the start date of the trial indefinitely after saying she needed more time to examine pretrial motions filed by Trump’s team asking her to toss the case.
