Judge in Trump Documents Case Rejected Suggestions to Step Aside

Be a whole lot cooler if they publicly removed her from the bench. I'm pretty fucking tired of "reasonable" people expecting fascists to do the right thing and voluntarily cede power.
She is a federal judge. The only way to remove her is impeachment it's the exact same process as removing the president.
If she is not impeached she can sit on bench the rest of her life even if every ruling she makes is overturned by higher courts.
Well get to it, then.
I do not have the authority or the capacity to remove anyone from the bench, not by any means. What are you suggesting?
I mean, technically if you are able bodied you have the capacity to remove anyone from office, it just generally does not end well for the one enacting the removal.
Well, I'm not able bodied, but even in my prime I never had the skills to track down and murder anyone, much less a famous judge. I assume that's what you're suggesting, and I'm not capable, morally, financially, or physically of committing such an act.
Not to mention, if we can overcome fascism through democracy and the rule of law, our nation will be stronger for it, and new fascists will die on the vine. If we use violence to achieve our goals, we create martyrs and inspire zealots. We will reap what we sow.
I think they're implying that, if you were an able-bodied man, you could just go and lift them off of the bench physically.
Ah, my mistake.
please, don't pussyfoot around encouraging someone to murder, it's not cute, it's not clever. and even this trash - Canon - deserves due process to put her ass to the curb.
I cannot stress this enough: WE CANNOT ALLOW THEM TO MAKE MARTYRS OUT OF THESE MORONS.
That path ends badly for everyone involved.
I'm suggesting that everyone complaining and wanting "they" to do something is a large part of the problem of why nothing changes. Everyone wants someone to do something, but no one wants to be that someone doing it.
*oh no. The down votes. That's fixing everything. Oh my.
What do you expect an average citizen (probably not from Florida) to do if they want to get a corrupt judge removed from her position in the state of Florida?
OK, but in this story, "they" is federal judges in an actual position of authority who recognize the threat and possess the means to a remedy. I'm not like sitting in a field, staring up at the stars, wishing someone could cure my lonely condition. I don't want someone to do something, I want these two judges to force Aileen Cannon to step aside like they suggested she should.
They can do something, they know what should be done, and they do nothing because they lack the political will. If enough people stand up and demand action, we will see action.
That's something we can do. That's something I'm doing right now, and it's something you're discouraging for some reason.
I'm not discouraging that. Go for it.
So who do we call to demand the removal of this partisan judge?
Maybe there is a legal way to get this done, or at least “grey area”
I am assuming if we can get the emails and numbers of the people responsible, we could set up a group to rotate calls and emails to absolutely flood their communication abilities until they capitulate.
Not just official channels, their home and cell phones too, and make sure their mailbox is always full of strongly worded letters (not hate mail or glitter bombs) demanding her removal from the bench.
Now that could be doing something.
