"Republicans politicized the courts because the courts stood in the way of their racist, anti-gay, forced-birth agenda. If Democrats refuse to fight back, that agenda will be the law of the land, and elections will become the political force that doesn’t really matter."

There are implications for the administration of justice in a young democracy.

Aileen Cannon dishonors the Florida judiciary and is a stain on the American judiciary in general.
Her peers need to deal with her.

Aileen Cannon is a disgrace to the Florida (and US) judiciary, and needs to be called to accountability by her peers.
That needed to happen yesterday and the day before that.

Guess who will review it first--Justice Thomas. As we know--he won't recuse himself nor is he required to do so. He could stall the proceedings pending full Court review.
Stephen Vladeck explains the shadow docket on an episode of SideBar.

The Judicial system is sadly not setup to handle cases efficiently, especially for rogues who know how to drag things out with appeals, etc. #judiciary #Jan6 #Georgia

"For authoritarians, discrediting the judiciary is central to degrading trust in public institutions so any exposés of corruption, or prosecutions of violent seditious acts, will be seen as biased. Their end goal is always to gain control of that judiciary so that their legal troubles will vanish permanently, no matter what they say or do."

In what has to be called good news for #humanrights and #civicrights, #Beijing obviously is not done yet with the #RuleOfLaw in #HongKong.
How utterly pesky an independent #judiciary can be, right?
Time to close in on those pro-#democracy advocates I'd say.
And time for any remaining activists to leave the city for their own best.
Glory to Hong Kong!
