Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

Wow i wonder how far the judge can go before someone has to step in. Is there even a mechanism to remove an incompetent judge, or have we been completely relying on judges to not be corrupt on a pinky swear this whole time? Ah well, one more pitch fork on the pile.
They are SUPPOSED to be bound by a code of ethics (except for the USSC, which is crazy), but Canon is a wildly unqualified lackey, so she apparently either doesn't know or does just doesn't care
A code of ethics without the punishment for breaching it is probably more flimsy then a pinky swear
She can lose her license to practice law.
USSJ, it’s a joke now
There is, but it's rarely used. Judges in lower courts can be removed from a case by an appeals court, and any judge can be impeached and removed from the role entirely. But it takes something pretty extreme for it do actually happen.
How extreme are we talking about here? They already get kick backs, so is there like a number they have to stay under? Is assisting by stalling long enough to reach the power to aquit themselves seems on the same level as stalling out a case so it goes over the statue of limitations to aquit the guilty
Look at the "kids for cash" program. That kind of extreme.
In FL, 3 very bad rulings/orders/whatever can cause a judge to be thrown off a case if determined to be necessary by the other judges in that district.
Cannon already has 2 strikes in this case where the district has made her reverse bad decisions. I think she will eventually be thrown off the case, but she's already won. The goal was to delay the trial until after the election. Mission accomplished.
