Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
Well, this should be no surprise.
She's been bending over backwards for Trump since day one, and she's spent this entire time dragging her feet on even the most basic of issues. She created delay after delay, and is now using the delay she created as the justification for granting the postponement that Trump has been seeking all along.
"Mid November." What a god damned coincidence. The rotting corpse of Hellen Keller could have seen right through that load of bullshit.
At this point I'm convinced she's literally in communication with his team or people once removed. This is the most slam dunk case ever. Did he have these documents? Yes. Was he allowed to? No.
Oh man if the prosecution brought evidence of that to the DoJ things would get spicy.
Is there anyway they can throw her out or do something about this cunts corruption? Seriously we going allow her to keep this from proceeding until she is sure he is President and can pardon himself.
Yes, they can appeal to the 11th circuit to have her removed. That's not an easy thing to do though.
It’s such an open and shut case, he may still be convicted with all the help in the world. If that happens he is in a bad position to effectively argue that she was biased against him.
That "may" is doing a lot of heavy-lifting. I don't want revenge" or to punish Trump because I don't like him (though I don't). I want justice to be served. The judge is clearly biased toward him, and that could result in a miscarriage of justice. She must be removed.
There's still plenty of time to let her dig her grave deeper.
And is there any mechanism in place for her removal as a judge, just based on overall being unfit for the role?
Yes. She'd have to be impeached by the House of Representatives, then convicted in the Senate by a 2/3 majority. Basically will never happen.
We basically have a system where, as soon as the fascists capture 1/3 of the government, we have no legal defense against them seizing the other 2/3.
