Not any longer, one judge has effectively neutered the government's authority to govern its own secret documents. Indeed, espionage cases that are long settled by convictions are now in danger of being overturned based upon this precedent. Oddly, there are procedures and documentation methods to reclassify a document, they're a royal PIA, but it's literally routinely conducted.

Pretty much. Aside from Trump supporters, no one in the US (or the rest of the world for that matter) is going to take someone like Cannon seriously. Literally any other judge with no conflict of interest present would have entertained all of these delays proposed by the defense. To do otherwise is an act of partisanship, incompetence, or both.

Judge Cannon: a member of the conservative and libertarian Federalist Society since 2005. Nominated May 21, 2020, at age 39, for the United States district judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. So a big thank you to Leonard Leo of the Federalist Society for all this. And special thanks to Mitch McConnell and company for nominating the youngest (and often least experienced) for federal positions because these appointments are life time positions, and by appointing the youngest, they will be there for decades (maybe even a half century). But hey, America is that "shining city on the hill" that other nations can only look up to in envy as Ronald Reagan used to go on and on about back in the 1980s.

Of course, the President doesn't sign that (and more than likely the VP), which is why Trump didn't actually commit a crime. Then again, since Joe Biden probably DID sign that form to access classified info in his decades in Congress, the classified documents he illegally stored after leaving the VP job WOULD be illegal!

Having politically appointed judges is a fundamental flaw in the US democratic process. US loves to claim separation of the three branches of Government; the Executive, Legislature, and Judiciary. Checks and Balances prevent any one arm having supremacy over any other. But it doesn't actually work as intended. The Supreme Court is beyond powerful because they don't have term limits or age requirements, Congress is also hamstrung by age and term limits. Having people die in their 80s while sitting members of Congress is a very very bad thing.

There have been Trump-appointed judges who, when push came to shove, did the broadly right thing. Cannon is such a blatant toady you have to assume she's angling for Attorney-General or a SCOTUS seat if Trump gets back in.

@boooster101 21 день назад

Remember when congress insisted that it's not up to them to prosecute Trump but to leave it to the judicial branch? And once that started, his lawyers and even judges started arguing exactly the opposite? Basically a lot of brownnosers being too afraid that he or his cronies will get power again.

@teelo12000 23 дня назад

The alternatives are a thinker. In Australia, judges are appointed by the governor-general, and cannot be fired by Parliament, only by a misconduct panel of fellow judges. But, that governor-general is appointed by the prime minister. So they kind of are indirectly appointed politically even though the original intent was to keep them separate.

@@bo5935 Ironically the reason judges are appointed for life is so that a single party cannot replace ALL of the judges in a single election cycle and take total control, like Trump would if he could. Make judges-ships not life appointments and you ONLY speed the downfall.

Democracy isn't powerless against a corrupt judge. The problem is that the political will against her does not exist. A third of the country thinks everything she is doing is not only fine, but great. The democratic process cannot fix the problem in people's souls.

I believe the strategy here is to legally remove Cannon from the case and possibly discredit her as a federal judge for future cases. Not a great strategy, but maybe useful to remove other croney judges in the future

@scytaleghola5969 23 дня назад

The problem with any claims that Trump declassified documents or declared them personal records is that the law (EO 13526) is very clear that to declassify a document, it must be re-classified and it retains it's original classification until it is marked with the new classification. So if the documents are (still) marked classified, they are (still) classified. EO 13526 explicitly discusses the authority of the President (and Vice President) and makes it clear that the law does apply to them.

@scytaleghola5969 23 дня назад

I should have added... EO 13526 does not apply to nuclear secrets because Congress created a special law for them : The Atomic Energy Act. The President and Vice President do not have the authority to declassify nuclear secrets. This takes review and approval from the Department of Energy. Note: Some of Trump's documents were RD/FRD nuclear secrets. He did not declassify any documents, but he especially didn't declassify those.

@anna_in_aotearoa3166 22 дня назад

This is the bit that was truly boggling my mind.... Under most robust public records acts, politicians absolutely can NOT simply decide what is personal & what is political (which would be a recipe for total corruption) and basically anything that goes through government data systems can be a public record? (Which often trips up public servants with poor data-handling boundaries!) I was sure that the US must have SOME legislation that made the defense's weird arguments moot, so your comment brings some relief! I assume there are also checks & balances whereby such unilateral doc reclassification by key officials (inc. POTUS) has to be notified to the agency involved, or to a government archive ombudsperson, and an appeal can be lodged if they perceive a risk...? The fact the judge in charge has been issuing pre-emptive instructions that ignore or over-ride the existing law is truly, genuinely horrifying. As a former records manager and archivist, this case hurts my professional soul!! 😭 Can only hope that it leads eventually to tightening of existing rules to prevent recurrence?

@scytaleghola5969 22 дня назад

@@agafaba A President can overturn an EO, but not a Congressional act. I would not get my hopes up that Trump will "likely" win. He lost last time because a lot of Americans voted against him. It seems like a lot more are voting against him this time. Nikki Haley is still getting nearly 20% of the vote from the Republican party and she's been out of the race for a while. Most *REAL* independents will not be voting for the guy who was voted worst President in US history. Also, worst case scenario, Trump gets enough votes and then the VP refuses to count the votes for the insurrectionist... basically the same thing Trump has not gotten in trouble for when he tried it... why wouldn't the Biden administration do the same? There doesn't seem to be a downside.
