Don’t you love it when idiots get slapped? Or should I say something else? Aileen is not a happy camper, and she deserves it. Slow walking something multiple times has not done her any favors. She may belong to Trump, but there comes a time when someone has to let her know that they have figured out *exactly* what she’s doing and she is stopping that nonsense *now*. From Politico via AlterNet:
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon just got a stern warning from the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals to do her job before her superiors take over. That’s according to Politico legal correspondent Josh Gerstein, who reported Monday on the Eleventh Circuit’s order regarding the handling of former Department of Justice special counsel Jack Smith’s final report. Appellate judges told Cannon she has 60 days to act on the remaining motions to unseal Smith’s report, or else the Eleventh Circuit will take matters into their own hands.
It’s been months. There’s slow walking and then there’s bullsh!t. How she managed to hold it up this long is anyone’s guess. She doesn’t have a choice now, and the sooner she *does her job* the better off she’ll be. She may think Trump is her boss, but he isn’t. The Eleventh Circuit is, and they have laid down the law, no pun intended (this time). One would think that pissing off your actual bosses would be a bad thing, but we all know she does not belong in her position because she doesn’t know what she is doing. She earned the nickname “Loose Cannon”.
“Petitioners filed their motions on February 14 and February 24, 2025, and filed notification on July 7 and July 10, 2025, informing the district court that their motions had been fully briefed for more than 90 days,” the two-page order read, pointing out that those who have filed the motions “have established undue delay in resolution of their motions to intervene.” “To date, the district court has not ruled or conducted any other further proceedings on the pending motions,” judges added.
SCORCHED. My goodness, they laid it all out there with no way to circumvent it, and she has been given notice that she is to *do her job*. It’s about damn time they said that. It’s *past* time. We could guess that they will have their eyes on her for a while because of this. If only they had acted this way last year, before her nonsense about Jack Smith and throwing out the case. Jack has not sat idly by, as our Jason Miciak showed us. Trump thinks he’s going to take him down. He’d best not be so sure. To close:
Cannon cited Justice Clarence Thomas’ argument in Trump v. United States that Smith’s appointment as special counsel was not in line with the Appointments Clause of the U.S. Constitution, which lays out the Senate confirmation process. Despite Thomas’ argument, there have been multiple DOJ special counsels who were not confirmed by the U.S. Senate whose investigations nonetheless were conducted without impediment. No special counsel since 1999 has been confirmed by the Senate due to existing DOJ procedures allowing an attorney general to appoint a special counsel to oversee an independent investigation.
And there it is. Since 1999. What do you want to be that Aileen knew this and took the easy out provided by Clarence Thom-ass? It’s an *independent* investigation. And if you look at Jack’s history, he sure as hell knows what he’s doing. So, she took the flimsy excuse and threw it out of court. What a bunch of hooey. Even money that she may have been a little scared of Mr. Smith. We said it then, and we say it now. DO. YOUR. DAMN. JOB.
Friends, I know everyone begs you for money. I promise, among all those asking for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest working. We’re a group of old, disabled people, except for one writer in his mid-50s. The rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the chance to keep telling the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
