    That’s why we have a trial by jury of peers.

    An executive branch can issue a pardon, legislative branch can create a law making the crime no longer being a crime and impeach judges.

    If those things are not enough, then we have a much more serious problem.

      Yes, we do have a more serious problem. Numerous federal judges have been appointed by a treasonous insurrectionist who committed election fraud to take office. The jury of peers will be less effective if there is an obviously biased judge like Cannon.

        Judges can’t put you in jail if DA doesn’t bring charges and a jury won’t convict.

        Canon is trying to do the reverse, using anything she has at her disposal for the trial to not happen as she knows that this case is pretty much an open shut case.
