Fourth-ranking Republican cries ethics when judge calls out the risk of authoritarianism and fact denialism.
“Judge Howell’s partisan speech is obviously highly inappropriate election interference by a federal judge that undermines the public’s trust in our courts,” Stefanik wrote.
Ye gads, how can anyone read this and not laugh out loud at the truly monumental levels of hypocrisy? This judge’s speech is undermining trust in the courts? Really? This speech, not the millions, if not billions of dollars in bribes taken by members of the SCOTUS?
I’m just so tired of the political theatre. I can’t imagine how this is exciting to anyone on the right, because even if the speech was wholly partisan (and it very much wasn’t), it is a clear-cut case of someone exercising their right to free speech at a dinner where people give speeches. Howell wasn’t acting in any capacity as a judge.
Like, Lisa is about as “invigorating” as Ron DeSantis or James Comer, so I don’t really understand her angle on this. It’s baffling.
Same shit they say about anyone who isn’t ideologically aligned with their white nationalist Christofascism. It’s all unethical and blah blah blah.
They are pretty good at proving the point Howell was making. They don’t believe the law applies to them or their fascist king and they won’t stop pissing, shitting and whining when accountability actually happens
Stefanik is apparently operating under the bizarre concept that judges are not allowed to have personal opinions outside the courtroom.
Anyone still defending the failed coup should be treated like Confederates and removed from office.
