Judge Tanya Chutkan denied a motion from former President Trump asking her to recuse herself from overseeing his prosecution on charges related to his efforts to stay in power after losing the 2020 election.
While writing that recusal motions served a vital purpose, “justice also demands that judges not recuse without cause,” she wrote, pointing to a prior court decision noting that recusal motions can be “a procedural weapon to harass opponents and delay proceedings.”
“Motions for recusal could also be wrongfully deployed as a form of ‘judge shopping,’” Chutkan wrote.
They (his supporters, some at all ranks) knew he was a lying, cheating, fraudulent, uncouth, and dishonorable piece of shit.
They also knew he would continue being the same piece of shit if/when he got into office, unapologetically cheating any way he could to get his way.
In fact, I think that’s exactly why his supporters supported him. To hell with the law and democracy, gotta stick it to the dems.
With ever looming shutdowns now being threatened by an extremist right faction of idiots, I wonder if the gop masters are finally now realizing the chickens have come home to roost. The hate and idiocy stoked to get support for extremism is now going to affect the bottom line of billionaires (the US’s credit rating is about to get cut, and being unstable is not good for business).
