I disagree. Smith has acted in such a fashion that, if, and when he moves to have the trump (lower case intentional) nominated and MAGA party appointed judge removed there will no prejudicial actions involved. Democrats were not "too damn timid," they were and are cautious. When one is dealing with a rabid animal, one doesn't poke said beast. Not only is trump cornered, but his mignons tend to be rabid.
Trump has said he favored the "uneducated;" it seems he elevated one to the bench. And it is working to his advantage.
Don't blame Garland and the Democrats for how they are playing the cards they were dealt, the deck was pretty much stacked against them before the first hand was dealt. You can thank the above referenced rabid animal for that.
I respect your disagreement but many of my bid D and little d friends have been losing confidence in the cautious approach taken by Garland, and to a lesser extent, Smith. I haven't voted R in 40 years and I'll go to my grave never voting for an R. I do blame D's for being too timid and so do many of my Blue Dog D's that are still around. I came of age in rural Alabama, I've been around a rabid dog or two, and yes, yes you do poke the rabid beast, and HARD. Or else the rabid beast will get you.
I consider Cannon is committing treason. Anyone not holding the line with the documents is perfectly fine with his selling them to the highest bidder. We list u decoder agents during his administration. That’s murder if the documents relate. The judge doesn’t care about the facts nor about the damage that was done and can still be done based on the documents recovered. This grifter took them to make money- period, that’s all every damn thing is to him. Apparently she hasn’t actually bothered to review what he kept out in the open, which is really strange since she has to rule on how they can be presented in court. We have plenty of documentation that witnesses are at risk of physical harm- and absolutely guaranteed that harassment will occur. She is as immoral as tfg- and I can’t believe this third string bench warmer was assigned this case and that the chief judge is just fine with this shit. But that is how it is- get an incompetent judge with NO DAMNED EXPERIENCE. And we the people are screwed. This case is the simplist. The holding of classified documents without the right or clearance.
It’s time that every damn candidate for president, vote, senator and representative MUST be ABLE to hold a clearance in their own right before entering a political race. The world is entirely too complicated for the compromised people to run for office. We should be able to know whether our candidates can pass the background checks for classified documents BEFORE they seek office. Yep, I said it. Stop electing people with dubious backgrounds stop them from the jump.
And we need a law that no one who fails a background check can work in the buildings- period. The damage done by Jared will eventually be revealed- and an entire generation of thoughtful patriots will never again vote for the thuglicans. They’ve proven through multiple administrations that every damn thing is for sale. Damn them.
And I lived in rural south western Virginia - no, you don't poke it. You bait a trap, you set it, you capture it and dispose of it......with as little fuss as possible. Remember the mess from the first time the DOJ et al tried to catch this rabid beast? Robert Mueller? He was almost destroyed and he was humiliated. He is a Republican. Don't you think that was just a bit of a cautionary tale? I do. We are all by-standers and the losing of faith in the institutions? Just the way the MAGAets want it.
Well, that's not the way we approached and handled rabid dogs in rural Alabama. That's more like we handle a poor stray. One does not capture and dispose of a rabid animal with little fuss. We poked 'em with a shotgun or rifle. Yep though, Mueller was a really big disappointment but how is that a cautionary tale that informs us about Garland's oh so cautious tiptoeing around Trump and his many crimes?
Comparing any other species with this sleazy, arrogant, crooked creep is doing a disservice to animals.
Think back to how many years this creep has been literally abusing women, lying, cheating subcontractors on "his" buildings, having how many 4? 6" bankruptcies, even with casinos! Bragging on what he could get away with around women or girls in the pageants he "oversaw". Way before he got to be such a tv "star"! This kind of underhandedness started when he was a child AND HE GOT AWAY WITH IT ALL - no consequence!
So now, we expect someone to just magically and legally take him down?
It would seem thats a little bit bigger ask - dont you think?
As someone said - several times - he did it all and right out in the open!
So yeah, "someone" should have stopped him - done something - long long ago.
I hope & pray he gets - well, hes NEVER going to get what he deserves - but maybe, maybe, an orange uniform & prison bars - I hope.
Hope ain't a strategy for saving democracy. And no, I don't think it's too big an ask for the judicial system to stop Trump in his tracks. But I do think our judicial system has failed to live up to all the hype we've been taught over the years that no one is above the law.
I agree with you, and it doesn't help that various provisions of the Constitution are not really enforceable, or offer few if any reasonable remedies through the courts.
Well, once burned twice shy. Garland is, by nature, cautious. He knows, first hand, what happens when one is a Democrat dealing with MAGAets. Remember when Pres Obama nominated him to the Supreme Court? He knows what the cauldron feels like and he, I think, decided nothing would be done until every "i" was dotted and every "t" was crossed. That takes time.
Carol-Ann, I am not sure what kind of trap you could use to catch chump--and I can't afford to bait it with the one thing that would interest him.
I'm in Georgia, and we DO poke the rabid dog, with a pump shotgun loaded with #4 shells. Not implying anything here, just talking about dogs to reply to your comment. We have to do it like this in rural GA, to protect people and other precious animals. No one likes those belly injections!
In my neck of western NC, you just pull out your rifle and shoot the rabid beast but since we can’t do that in this case, we have to work within the framework we were handed. The time to build a better trap for this beast isn’t in the middle of the hunt though.

I am two years from living in southwest Virginia. We parachuted into blue Charlotte and not looked back.
We're gettin' our parachutes packed too!

I do have to add this - remember the one person who HAS nailed him - money wise at least - is E Gene Carroll! Quite honestly, THAT has to smart.....

Hoping he gets his just desserts yes BUT also sending emails, commenting AND voting - hope alone wont cut it, I agree.

Maggie ~~"Comparing any other species with this sleazy, arrogant, crooked creep is doing a disservice to animals."
Thank you from those of us who love and have animals !!
As do I!!
Maybe he will turn in the orange jumpsuit for a white veil. On his wedding day with Bubba.
Thats just harsh - well, would be if it were anyone else!
Well said, Maggie.

And perseverance. Lot of perseverance.

Sadly I agree about Dems.
John - he will anyway.
One other thing, the DOJ has more than just trump on its menu. I just saw this. https://youtu.be/lvqyrxPVwwQ?si=TQ_tztiLIMuoX7ec You might want to check it out.
Sometimes you just gotta walk, chew gum, pat your tummy and whistle all at the same time...and longer if need be.
I think he wanted to keep his powder dry for the important bits that are coming up next week, not mostly scheduling matters.
Thanks Carol-Ann. Someone is paying attention 👏
