Remember Trump will scream his little mushroom red if a judges 3rd cousin worked for a state election for the Democrats and demand the judge recuses themselves.
When it’s Eileen Cannon, a judge appointed by the defendant in the trial? Crickets.
My understanding is that the judge is chosen by lottery, out of a certain number of judges in the same district. Since that particular district in FL only has a few judges there was always a pretty solid chance that she could be chosen. It wasn’t a certainty, but definitely a good chance.
That’s why her actions are such a betrayal of the justice system. It shouldn’t matter which judge was randomly selected. To anyone with eyeballs, she has shown a distressing preference for the person who appointed her, and has shown over and over again that she doesn’t have the relevant experience to oversee a case of this magnitude. If she were a qualified and impartial judge, she would appreciate the fact that she appears to be completely biased, and recuse herself.
Even if tons of legal experts are wrong about her, which at this point seems pretty unlikely, her duty is to step aside and allow a judge who still has the public’s trust to oversee the case.
We have reached the point where politics has so deeply invaded all levels of government that the system is broken beyond repair. Now, it’s just a battle for the soul of the monster.
There should be laws against ruling over a case when there should be a recusal. Goes back to the 1% funding the scum in office. Billionaires have ruined society and need to disappear worldwide
