The federal judge assigned to the election fraud case against former President Donald Trump stands out as one of the toughest punishers of rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol

    That’s a great way to get a mistrial for judicial bias… I know you love the sound bite… But God damn that sounds stupid for any judge to say. It’s almost like she is trying to be as impartial as possible.

      You do realize that he’s basically on trial for trying to make himself a king, right? Her saying that wasn’t hyperbole, it was a core issue.

        Judicial Bias. A judge shouldn’t be taking a side especially in decision. If she’s shown to have show favoritism in her words or actions, that’s pretty much an easy appeal… It’s usually held until after the case (If the case goes in Trump’s favor, they won’t push for it, if it doesn’t they can over turn it with a simple appeal).

      What’s a greater chance of judicial bias? This judge or the judge that Trump himself appointed? Because that’s who he’s in front of in Florida.

      What is biased about stating Trump is not president and that he doesn’t have presidential powers for life?

      She’s declaring she feels no need to me EXTRA lenient for a president. She’s cleaning up bias concerns in the other direction
