    Is there anyway they can throw her out or do something about this cunts corruption? Seriously we going allow her to keep this from proceeding until she is sure he is President and can pardon himself.

        It’s such an open and shut case, he may still be convicted with all the help in the world. If that happens he is in a bad position to effectively argue that she was biased against him.

          That “may” is doing a lot of heavy-lifting. I don’t want revenge" or to punish Trump because I don’t like him (though I don’t). I want justice to be served. The judge is clearly biased toward him, and that could result in a miscarriage of justice. She must be removed.

          There’s still plenty of time to let her dig her grave deeper.

        And is there any mechanism in place for her removal as a judge, just based on overall being unfit for the role?

          Yes. She’d have to be impeached by the House of Representatives, then convicted in the Senate by a 2/3 majority. Basically will never happen.

            We basically have a system where, as soon as the fascists capture 1/3 of the government, we have no legal defense against them seizing the other 2/3.
