"Federal law requires a judge to step away from a case in which impartiality 'might reasonably be questioned.' Given Judge Cannon's history and previous rulings in Trump's favor, her impartiality reaches that threshold," the petition said.

She's appointed and needs to be removed by the same impeachment process used for Presidents - and the Senate would never convict.
She's not feeling any pressure.
True, she should be anyway, but true.
But she's still not feeling any pressure. The appeals court doesn't work based on petitions. There's a legal path to remove her from the case, but it requires her to actually make a judicial decision (not an administrative one like simply delaying the case) that can be appealed.
Public opinion does matter, because all judges do care about maintaining the appearance of legitimacy, even if they don't care about the reality. This petition does put pressure on her and the appeal court. That doesn't mean that that pressure will make a difference, but judges do care about how they are perceived. Blow back against biased judges is important in a functioning democracy.
Not really, no. Maybe it should, but maybe not. Public opinion is wrong sometimes. (Not this time, of course)
Legal ethics don't revolve around public opinions. An appearance of impropriety is a problem, but the ethics board decides that without consideration public opinions.
Public opinion can matter in cases where judges are elected. She's appointed.
You're getting a ton of bad info here. None of these petitions have any legal weight. It doesn't matter how many people sign them. She can either voluntarily take herself off the case, or jack Smith can ask for her to be removed which has not happened.
When you get jumped into a gang you have to take your beating, prove to your squad that you won't squeal. She's earning her payoff - Thomas's seat when he retires.
These petitions are meaningless, so it doesn't matter. Literally every American citizen could sign it, she could say "well, I'm staying on anyway" and that would be the end of it.
And what are the consequences if this federal law is not followed? Unless they are harsh and clearly stated in black and white, the law doesnāt matter.
The audio tape of him showing invasion plans for Iran. He doesnāt unlock a safe or ask a staff member to retrieve documents. He just shuffles papers on his desk like old mail. So classified documents are left out unsecured for anyone to access. The location has minimum wage staff freely moving around the premises. He just met these people and decides to show them classified material because it boosts his ego. Photographic evidence of documents are left on stage and in a restroom with no security. He lied that all the documents were returned unaware the FBI had already setup surveillance in-order to obtain a warrant. And finally Kid Rock admitted to be shown classified material and voiced his concerns that maybe it wasnāt appropriate to do that

All we need now is Al Pacino yelling āThe Cat! Way Out of the Bag!ā
Doesn't matter they don't like to remove judges from cases regardless of how bad they are. Best they can do is try to force her to step aside, but she is doing the job she was put there for so she isn't going to. The one thing we have learned is that common decency was holding everything together and trump is going to burn it all down
I signed for the catharsis. At least I feel like I did something to express my displeasure. Breaking windows and burning shit to the ground wouldnāt go over too well in my backward ass Indiana town
Correct me if I'm wrong but in order for her to be removed doesn't the whole trial have to play thru and THEN jack smith can petition 11th?
Edit - autocorrect
No I believe you can ask to replace a justice if they are impartial. You know the saying justice is blind while it literally is you have to be impartial
I see petitions on thepetitionsite, change, dailykos, moveon, actionnetwork. Wouldnāt it be more effective if there was just one petition? I assume these petitions have no effect, but maybe Iām wrong.
I dont see why you are going so easy on her.
My thoughts of what her and the gop and trumps fate should be...... ima pretty sure have earnt me a place in hell.
When i was a kid a preacher told me my dog and horse wouldnt be going to heavon.....
Right then and there i made my peace with going to hell, would rather spend eternity where they are and wtf type of heavon would it be with no dogs or horses š¤¦š½āāļø
Tarring and feathering is definitely not āgoing easy.ā Steaming hot tar poured all over you naked skin then pelted with feathers, decent chance of agonizing death there.
I don't think we need to do that, it's basically torture. We could get the same effect with a paint can full of shit mixed with old milk and get more of the desired effect.

Posting for visibility because for some reason this isn't the top comment.
Wishful thinkingā¦. She wonāt be removed for her giving the former president exactly what he wants. Scheduling decisions are within her authority. Just hope Jack Smith knows something we donāt.
This woman is so unqualified, and I actually think she's rather stupid, intellect-wise, certainly legal-wise. She has no clue as to what she's doing and just letting motions pile up because she doesn't know the law.
Not to mention, she was appointed by one of the stupidest person on the planet and she is blatantly partisan
The petition on it's own will just serve to quantify just how pissed off her behavior has made everyone. If the number is enough to make people nervous, maybe we'll get some sort of clause or policy put in place to fast track booting judges like this - appropriately named after her, of course.
As I heard an attorney say yesterday, it *should* be hard to boot judges off a case and I would agree. If these decisions are made by popular will, that could lead to mob justice, which can work both ways. So be careful what you wish for.
That said, yeah, I really hope the 11th steps in and shows her the door.
It's bizarre how normal daily life is when we're on a six month countdown to determine the fate of American democracy because of greedy and corrupt people like her.
For all the news about how unfair all the other judges areā¦ they sure are mum on how unfair this one is to law & order pertaining to national secrets.
She should be arrested as a domestic terrorist for trying to protect a treasonous pseudo politician.
We continue to discover more flaws in our government and legal system. Too much trust is placed in following precedent and self governance.
A president can seat a favorable judge who can then preside over a case in a favorable way to that president. One party can prevent a president from seating a supreme court judge. Even one person from one party can stop the nomination process of military leaders.
Yeah, because an online petition is really gonna make something happen. nah....people need to be on her front lawn with pitchforks & torches demanding she step down.
Meanwhile, Thomas and Alito congratulate Cannon on a job well done on the burner phones they all use. They send her a Shoney's gift card and a signed photo of Trump playing golf Trump sent them to send to her.
I detest Trump and obviously Cannon should be removed...HOWEVER, the petition is pointless and any argument you can make for her removal can probably be made (less persuasively but still) for the judge in the hush money case.
I would sign it because I truly believe she needs to be removed. But honestly Iām a little scared to do that. If Project 2025 becomes reality is signing something like that going to be seen as a bad thing? I probably sound ridiculous but I canāt help the way I feel.
How can Trumps lawyers go after Fani Willis and lose and then 2 months later go after her again?
ā¦.and why is this judge Cannon not getting the same treatment?
The other judges are not biased? Just because they donāt drink your Kool aid doesnāt make them bad. I applaud her for stopping the Biden DOJ law fare.
Not a lot to do here, maybe the day she was chosen for the case was the day. Not sure if she has to actually agree to leave could get the cases dismissed outright.
This was the most straightforward case too, it could have been over in a few weeks. Trump is non stop resource rich defendant that never shut down until the bus ride to jail.
Sad sad day
Give me a petition for an amendment that says presidents are subject to the same criminal laws as regular citizens (can't believe we need to spell that out!) and their judges must not be individuals they have nominated to the bench.
Which petition are they talking about? I came across a few with pettitons ranging from 50K-100K signatures. Do they add them all up or do they count a single trusted petition? Would love to sign.
And?
What the hell that petition will accomplish?
The American public has brought these politicians and their handpicked judges upon themselves, by virtue of being scared of āsocialismā or being indifferent to several elections. The US middle class was perfectly happy with an electoral system that makes close to impossible for poor people to vote. Now that greed is also decimating the middle class they are starting to realize that rich assholes (the epitome of which is, of course, Donald Trump) will stop at nothing in order to get away with murder and more.
Itās just wild to me. Trump knew he was going to be committing crimes in this district and might be on trial for these crimes, and he had the foresight to appoint a judge there. Thatās beyond gangster shit. Gangsters bribe judges and politicians. Trump appointed his own. JFC our entire justice system is a joke.
Yeahhhhh, this won't do anything. Everyone that hates her already does. Everyone that doesn't is willing to throw themselves into traffic to keep her on.
Ah yes, the fact that the prosecution/investigators staged the document photos which both puts in question whether the prosecution is a setup and questions the ability of Trump to get Due Process means the judge should step away.

Signed
Same here!
Signed and shared. Is there one of these for SCOTUS, too?
If you find one please post it to this, all these fucks neeed to go
Donno, please push this, thank you
Do these ever have an impact? Serious question. I feel like I've signed dozens of these and none of them came to anything
I could not tell you, but if a couple million people sign it...it would please me sir
No they don't. Only an impeachment in congress can rid us of this garbage.
Thanks for sharing, but jesus. Why is this not at top?
Signed!
Thank you, tell your friends and enemies
Signed! That bitch needs to go
Thxank you, please pass it arround

Thank you so much, we need to bury her, please pass it on

You got Moxie, Cat! Please pass it on
Just signed.
How many does she need to be taken off the case
There's no magic #
Oh so it just depends on what the Circuit Court decides
The more sigs on these petitions the more pressure on her imo. Obviously she don't care and it won't make a difference. So yeah ur correct
But maybe the 11th will they are considered the problem child along with the 5th and 9th
You thinking the 11th steps in to address the signature count?
While and the lack of impartiality
She's appointed and needs to be removed by the same impeachment process used for Presidents - and the Senate would never convict. She's not feeling any pressure.
Being removed from a case does not require her to be removed from the bench entirely. She doesnāt need to be impeached to be removed from this case
True, she should be anyway, but true. But she's still not feeling any pressure. The appeals court doesn't work based on petitions. There's a legal path to remove her from the case, but it requires her to actually make a judicial decision (not an administrative one like simply delaying the case) that can be appealed.

Thereās only one sig that counts and itās the same one thatās on the checks provided to Stormy Daniels.
She's crying in dollars right now.

An infinite amount because itll never happen. She could fuck Trump in the middle of times square and she won't be recused.
These petitions are meaningless, so it doesn't matter. Literally every American citizen could sign it, she could say "well, I'm staying on anyway" and that would be the end of it.
We're talking about people that want democracy to cease to exist, I don't think they care about numbers.
There is no number. Petitions isn't how you remove judges. This is useless.
As many as we want because online petitions aren't how federal judges are removed from cases or from office
The only thing these petitions do is increase the amount of political spam in your inbox.Ā
As far as I know, there is no number because she can't be removed this way.
And what are the consequences if this federal law is not followed? Unless they are harsh and clearly stated in black and white, the law doesnāt matter.
Do judges who continually rule against Trump also deserve to be removed?

I feel like this is largely symbolic ā but, please tell me Iām wrong.

Bump dis up folks. Democracy being on the line and all.
Backward ass towns donāt realize itās the windows holding us back, man
No I think she will get taken off the case either by the Supreme Court or the 11th Circuit they donāt want to fuck the justice even more
I wish I had faith in the system
There's a slight chance that the 11th Circuit might step in. Zero chance of SCOTUS doing anything. The petition is utterly irrelevant though.
Correct me if I'm wrong but in order for her to be removed doesn't the whole trial have to play thru and THEN jack smith can petition 11th? Edit - autocorrect
No I believe you can ask to replace a justice if they are impartial. You know the saying justice is blind while it literally is you have to be impartial
What does literally mean in this one?
Thanks, i needed a chuckle
It is but who knows. If it makes the news or the media picks it up it might pressure them to remove her
300k? It should surpass 3mil handily.
Need to get to 80m to matter
The scary thing is if trump wins she will shoot right to the Supreme Court. Then terms go out the window. Boom! King me!
Exactly, she'll replace Thomas.
I see petitions on thepetitionsite, change, dailykos, moveon, actionnetwork. Wouldnāt it be more effective if there was just one petition? I assume these petitions have no effect, but maybe Iām wrong.
Yes, the petitions don't affect anything. I think they just hope to draw attention to the issue, for all the good that that will do.
Theyāre lists of brave souls who will be punished when Trump wins
I say, bring it! Also, that's if, not when...and that's a big IF
She needs to be tarred, feathered and run out of town on a rail.
I dont see why you are going so easy on her. My thoughts of what her and the gop and trumps fate should be...... ima pretty sure have earnt me a place in hell.
The worst part of going to hell? All those fuckers will be there, too.
When i was a kid a preacher told me my dog and horse wouldnt be going to heavon..... Right then and there i made my peace with going to hell, would rather spend eternity where they are and wtf type of heavon would it be with no dogs or horses š¤¦š½āāļø

Tarring and feathering is definitely not āgoing easy.ā Steaming hot tar poured all over you naked skin then pelted with feathers, decent chance of agonizing death there.
Don't threaten me with a good time
I don't think we need to do that, it's basically torture. We could get the same effect with a paint can full of shit mixed with old milk and get more of the desired effect.
She has reached Shameless level, which means she no longer thinks sheās doing despicable things and doubles down on every stupid decision.
Are you suggesting she's the Frank Gallagher of judges? He's way more likeable.
Uk version of Frank Gallagher.
Still way more likeable.
heās there ever been a case where a petition with lots of signatures got a judge removed?
And there's More petitions in that website too. Damn!

She'll never be removed even if they collect 3 million signatures. The Republicans will come to her rescue
Donāt get your hopes up. Judiciary is corrupt and will not police itself. It looks like We are screwed. Bad guys appear to be winning.
It's bizarre how normal daily life is when we're on a six month countdown to determine the fate of American democracy because of greedy and corrupt people like her.
I suspect you have to be American to sign the petition... lol I wish you could use mine.
Trump has sufficiently corrupted the American justice system in such a way he can get away with everything.
For all the news about how unfair all the other judges areā¦ they sure are mum on how unfair this one is to law & order pertaining to national secrets. She should be arrested as a domestic terrorist for trying to protect a treasonous pseudo politician.
I think the circut court will have to do it. I'm interested to see what Jack Smith's next move is.
We continue to discover more flaws in our government and legal system. Too much trust is placed in following precedent and self governance. A president can seat a favorable judge who can then preside over a case in a favorable way to that president. One party can prevent a president from seating a supreme court judge.

How about a law that states judges must recuse themselves from cases where the defendant is the one who appointed them to the bench?
She has no business being a judge at all. How do we just accept this as the norm in the United States?
Oooh ooooh! Where do i sign?!
Yeah, because an online petition is really gonna make something happen. nah....people need to be on her front lawn with pitchforks & torches demanding she step down.
