"She doesn’t belong on the bench": Experts say Cannon's move suggests she's "trying to kill" case

I love the simple explanation:
“If she is that ignorant of how to handle these matters, then she doesn’t belong on the bench,” Swartz said. “If she’s doing it because she’s lazy, then she doesn’t belong on the bench. If she’s doing it just to delay, then she doesn’t belong on the bench.”
So... can we impeach her yet?
- Go picket, with enough people showing that justice matters, they'll have to find a less corrupt judge.
- Not until there is a democratic majority in the house. Impeachment starts there for federal judges.
But what can be done? She's in a safe state for her kind, isn't she? It's not like they would suddenly realize what kind of person she is - they already know.
- She's a federal judge and not subject to state oversight. She answers to the federal government.
  
  Although with a lifetime appointment and a high threshold for removal, accountability is hard to come by
- In a sane world, one of two things would happen, ideally both:
  Immediate Impeachment and motion for a mistrial be granted
  Arrest for Obstruction of Justice
- The remedy is impeachment, so I'm pretty sure that means 60 senators need to vote to remove her, which isn't happening anytime soon.
  
  And you need the house to kick things off. And the house is controlled by the GOP.
- State has nothing to do with it. She is an appointed federal judge. If she’s going to be removed, she has to be removed federally.
  More specifically, impeachment proceeding for her removal would start in the House of Representatives… which is currently controlled by the GOP.
  
  for now. GOP hemorrhaging support faster than the dems let's see how this election goes
  my guess as to why shit sucks so bad is because last few election cycles have really gone in better directions. I think once that scale tips we'll see some great and long overdue shit
Experts say? Shit, you don’t have to go that far to hear it.
