Reluctantly, I am with Twicehorn on most of this. I, too, would love to see the dotard publicly tarred and feathered, then dropped headfirst into a YUGE bucket of steaming shit, and then washed off with tapwater from Jackson, MS., before being hauled off to a maximum security prison and being assigned to a cell full of violent sex offenders. But we can't just jettison the entire judicial system because we don't like the asshole. We all know that he had classified documents and other government records he had no right to possess which, coupled with our blinding hatred of the dotard and our awareness of past crimes, generates the urge to move straight to the punishment phase. But on the whole, law enforcement having the exclusive right to review the documents is somewhat troubling. However much we side with the government in this situation, the bigger purpose is served by eliminating any possible flaws or defects now, rather than later (see Page, Carter).
There is a bit of horse and cart problem. The DOJ says, hey it's good, we only got documents that he has no right to. Is a Judge required to take that at face value, without any ability to independently confirm? We can all be skeptical of the Judge's motivation, but it is also true that several dotard appointees were involved in the election suits and ultimately applied the law correctly. I am willing to see how this plays out a bit longer. The tell may well be the name of the person named as Special Master and the authority granted/limitations imposed. If Cannon truly has an agenda, it should be evident when we hear who has been appointed and what specific functions that person is supposed to perform.
The point upthread about the dotard's right to appeal is very true. If Cannon had rejected the request altogether, he would have appealed and created further delay. And then if the Circuit Court reversed, it would have been with instructions on how to proceed. So months from now we might be back at this same point.
The judicial process can be painful and frustrating, but if we are truly a country of laws and not men, then the process has to play out.
