We are just over halfway through the merry and, in NoVa at least, soggy month of May, and it's time to announce the second of our three Ass Clown Awards for the month. The current tidal wave of potential political, social, and quasi-religious potential awardees makes a selection difficult ... but not impossible, as one dishonoree has consistently stood out as being worthy of wearing the tinfoil and toilet paper crown.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear Readers, designation as
The Left-Cheek Ass Clown for May, 2024

is bestowed upon
Judge Aileen Cannon

Judge Aileen Cannon was appointed to the federal bench by Der Furor as one of his lame-duck measures after losing the 2020 election. She was subsequently assigned by lottery to try the federal case against Der Furor for his deliberate retention and improper storage and use of sensitive, highly-classified government records, and has been deeply criticized by other judges and legal scholars for her extraordinarily lenient and favorable treatment of Der Furor and his attorneys, and her slow-walking of the case which virtually ensures that it will not actually go to trial until after the November election ... if ever.
The list of Judge Cannon's missteps in this critically important case is long and distressing - too long to summarize in this post. For a thorough and well-documented history of her botched handling of the case, I encourage you to read this detailed, but very readable summary by law professor, former federal prosecutor, and legal analyst and commentator Joyce Vance: Mar-a-No-Go. Ms Vance paints a damning picture of a judge who is both out of her depth and plainly anxious to protect the man who appointed her to the bench.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear Readers, the Left-Cheek Ass Clown for May, 2024, is Florida Federal District Court Judge Aileen Cannon - a jurist who clearly proves that there are two standards of justice in the United States ... and that they favor the rich and powerful at the expense of the nation.
Have a good day, and come back tomorrow when Cartoon Saturday helps us wash the taste of judicial misconduct out of our mouths.
More thoughts then.

So many unworthy candidates...
ReplyDeleteI was expecting Harrison Butker, but I'm okay with your choice, as well.
And these assholes are going to be around for a long time. Maybe when tRUMP is finally gone they will start doing the job they're supposed to do... HA!
ReplyDeleteGood choice, as always. These potential Ass Clown are swarming these days, trying to go lower than each other. There seems to be no bottom in the depths they can go, deeper than the Mariana Trench!
