Judge Aileen Cannon’s intrusive and unjustifiable reign over the Justice Department’s criminal investigation into Donald Trump is over. On Thursday, the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Cannon had no jurisdiction to hear Trump’s complaint in the first place. (Vanity Fair)
The House Judiciary Committee announced on Thursday that it would hold a hearing on Dec. 8 to investigate the religious right lobbying campaign that led to the allegation that U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito leaked the outcome of his 2014 Hobby Lobby decision to its participants. (MSNBC)
Thomas has done it again. Last week the longest-serving justice on the nation’s highest court defied widespread calls from legal experts that he recuse himself from cases that have anything to do with the seditious events surrounding Jan. 6, 2021. You know, the failed coup in which Thomas’ wife, far-right political activist Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, was a participant. Worse, this latest case possibly implicates Ginni Thomas directly in what was an unprecedented attempt to thwart a peaceful transfer of power. (LA Times)
I BEG the question and BEG even harder for an answer. How is it that Justice has fallen from grace? I WANT to understand, I WISH to know, if those for whom the title Judge or Justice, seem as corrupt as the criminals who sit in their courtrooms, when will truth, honor, and adherence to laws ever HAPPEN?
I am not naïve enough to think that ONCE UPON A TIME, all JUDGES and JUSTICES were above board, less corrupt, and not politically motivated for the good of self, BUT somehow, along the way, the rot and ruin which may have been here and there, is INCREASING AND INCREASING.
What I see is the BAD, and what I do not see, is HOW TO rid the BAD and change it into GOOD!
