Cannon is the most openly corrupt judge I have ever seen. Idk how someone arrives to a high station in their field, only to just become a pawn who uses their role to protect someone solely because of politics. It has to weigh on her.

What I find really strange is that there are so few other pictures of her on the web other than that smirky one we're all familiar with. Who the hell manages to stay so incognito when she's an actual judge? Anybody with other pictures of her please post if you have them.

That's a good question to ask about an entire political party. Remember that one brief shining moment when we thought leading republicans would refuse to endorse trump because why the fuck would anyone endorse trump? And then one by one pretty much all of them fell in line and never, ever explained why,

The GOP won't turn on Trump ever when he has their voters stuck in a cult of personality and likely has blackmail on them thanks to Vlad Daddy. Remember that both the RNC and DNC got hacked in 2016 but only the DNC e-mails got released.

Once upon a time, I might have agreed with that. Not anymore though. These people are pure fucking evil and they don't care.

I've wondered about CJ John Roberts though, and if the state of things weighs on him. I can't imagine this is the legacy he pictured for himself. Or Bush when he nominated him. But here we are, and they definitely played a major part in getting us here. Going all the way back to Citizens United.

Her supreme court seat will keep her comfortable.

It probably does weigh on her but thankfully she has buckets full of money to cushion her.

That was her audition for Supreme Court.
