This judge was appointed AFTER 45 lost! Many legal experts have question her ruling. Coincidentally, Heather Cox Richardson's column today is about this ruling and offers a bit of background on the make up of our courts shift to the hard right, thanks in large part to McConnell's finagling! This quote is most disconcerting: "Philosopher Jason Stanley of Yale University, best known for his 2018 book How Fascism Works, tweeted today: “Once you have the courts you can pretty much do whatever you want.” Elections matter and we see the consequences in real time as our democracy is endangered! If any of you are voting gQp you need a check up from the neck up?!?

The decision is stunning in its ignorance. DOJ isn't going to base its case on a "love" letter from Kim Jong-un to Trump -- although that's government property, too. And if he had personal "privileged" documents mixed in with the classified ones, maybe he should have taken better care to keep the personal documents somewhere else.
And to think I didn't take the bar exam because I thought it would be too hard.
When democracy doesn’t work for the privileged, when one person one vote does not favor the interests of the powerful, then it’s time to scuttle the system.
So much for the Federalist Society picking judges that would follow the Constitution. These folks do even attempt to justify doing what they want , just give out gold stars from the bench
I know of someone about to be sentenced to most likely 3-4 years in Niantic for evading responsibility. She’s in her 50’s & will lose plenty. Think she’ll get special consideration at sentencing because of how far she’s fallen? I give her credit though she’s told family & friends to not stress for one minute, she did wrong, she’s ready to pay the price & will be OK. What has TFG, who’s supposedly worried about his reputation, done in response to being caught breaking the law? Blamed the left, the DOJ, the FBI & raised millions. It doesn’t look like to me like he’s worried about his reputation, I don’t know why the Judge is. 🤯

Argh! The Dems/liberals have been too complacent and concerned about fairness to mount a campaign against this. It’s high time we rose up. 🤺
Oh, may this sequence of events at least generate more attention to state and local elections on the non-right....

Sigh.
Stigma.!? Really!?
