Are you a lawyer, or familiar with the legal field? She seems to have pretty standard qualifications for becoming a judge. |
Lol yes. Qualification = Federalist Society. That’s all you need a wink is good as a nudge. |
DP. But "reputable." (Alas.) |
Trump-appointed judges should recuse themselves. Failure to do so is a conflict of interest and judicial misconduct. |
SCOTUS hasn’t weighed in yet, dumbass. But that aside, SCOTUS is barely hanging on to it’s last shreds of legitimacy. Anyone who isn’t a total FedSoc unprincipled hack who thinks this decision isn’t necessarily wrong? |
SCOTUS’s legitimacy is shredded; there is nothing left of it. A Trump friendly decision would… I don’t even know. Over the last few decades, the GOP took a thriving, happy country that wanted to be the best and pursued that to the best of its understanding and made it into a banana republic. And all it took was the tribal fealty of Republican voters and a corrupt media. |

Who could be appointed Special Master? Wouldn't they need a security clearance? None of Trump's current attorneys could as they don't have security clearances.. Any attorney out there with an active top secret clearance would be one who is representing the government, no?
Either that or the Special Master would only have authorization to review any documents that are not classified. I don't think judges have power to get around that, do they? |
| So people here are upset because the DOJ has an independent person looking at their investigation. Got it. |
One wag on Twitter pointed out that Obama has had all the relevant clearances. Hillary Clinton had pretty high clearances too. |
Yes they have dumbass. |
"Independent"? Appointed by DJT and a member of the Federalist Society? |
People are upset because the independent person will be looking into issues of executive privilege, and Trump doesn’t have any executive privilege with regard to these documents. It’s like having an independent person look for evidence thar the tooth fairy exists. |
When has SCOTUS weighed in on this case? |
Even if they did have the proper clearances, DOJ would never agree to one of Trump’s attorneys being the special master. Both sides need to agree. |
I saw someone else suggest that Judge Reinhart should be the special master. |
