Marilyn W. Thompson: “Not so long ago, when the FBI raided Donald Trump’s 126-room Palm Beach mansion and found scores of classified documents, the notion that the disgraced former president would return to the Oval Office seemed far-fetched to just about anyone paying attention. Just over three years later, Trump is president, and the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida is investigating the raid for being part of what the president’s allies have branded a ‘grand conspiracy’ against Trump. [https://theatln.tc/uRKhshHq](https://theatln.tc/uRKhshHq)
From her quiet courthouse in Fort Pierce, Florida, Aileen Cannon is poised to reprise a role that gave the district-court judge an improbably influential say in national politics. Cannon is expected to preside next month over a special federal grand jury called by Jason Reding Quiñones, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida, that will probe aspects of the FBI’s raid—as well as broader allegations of a plot against Trump by Democratic politicians and other government officials. If the grand jury returns indictments, Cannon would be in a position to oversee trials of people Trump has long targeted for retaliation.
Cannon’s involvement could change the trajectory of the president’s retribution campaign. Trump’s efforts to prosecute perceived enemies have thus far rested on thin indictments brought before skeptical judges; cases against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, for instance, were quickly tossed out. But Trump allies insist that there is much more to come. Cases like the ones against Comey and James were a mere ‘appetizer,’ Mike Davis, a Trump loyalist who is close with Quiñones, teased on The Charlie Kirk Show this fall. ‘Just wait for the main course.’
… Trump frequently praises Cannon, which suggests that he’s very much aware of what she’s done for him—and continues to do. That’s why she’s emerged as a widely discussed possible nominee for an appellate seat—or even for the Supreme Court. In the five years since Trump nominated her for the district court, her record has been defined by a refusal to follow judicial norms or bend to public criticism. Her colleagues on the federal bench and others who have studied her record tell me that she is meticulous in the extreme. She insists on doing things her own way—even if that means ignoring precedents with which she finds fault or ruling in a manner that appears to give deference to the man who elevated her. When lawyers for a North Carolina man accused of trying to assassinate Trump argued that Cannon should recuse herself from the case because of perceived bias, she denied the motion and responded in October 2024 with typical precision.
‘I have no control over what private citizens, members of the media, or public officials or candidates elect to say about me or my judicial rulings,’ she wrote. ‘Nor am I concerned about the political consequences of my rulings.’
Cannon’s critics—and they are legion—find that hard to believe. To them, she is the very emblem of what happens when the law and politics collide.
To all the eligible non-voters in America: Fuck. You.

Your next SCOTUS Justice ladies and gentlemen. Thomas will likely be asked to step down in the next year or to in order to assure a younger conservative court.

You’re really going to hear a lot about her when he nominates her for SCOTUS. And I’d expect retirement for a current judge fairly soon if they expect to lose big this coming November.

Cannon is the type of immigrant Trump wants deported. She is corrupt and will do his bidding though, so he will make an exception and reward her.

Aileen Cannon is a stain on the judicial branch. A symbol of corruption, a symbol of contempt for rule of law. She should have been disbarred after that Jack Smith debacle, taking till the 11th hour to make up some asinine legal justification for why Trump gets off. It’s stupidity, it’s not law, it’s bs. Impeach and remove. Yes, you can even criticize the judicial branch when that Branch exercises corruption. Like in this case. With this judge.

Talk about pure corruption.
