The Judge In Trump’s Federal J-6 Election Trial Should Recuse Herself, But Probably Won’t
read further
However, the greatest obstacle for the defense is the person who will decide the motion to recuse —the judge herself. Chutkan sits in judgment of herself, which is a glaring conflict of interest. Put another way, an allegedly biased judge is being asked to recognize her own bias that she may not discern. So, what’s to prevent her from issuing a prejudicial ruling in her own favor on the issue of prejudice? Nothing, really.
The other part of this is “perception.” Because of Chutkan’s statements, will the public now view the case as “tainted” because the judge was exposed pre-trial as unfair? If Americans are to have confidence in important trials, the people must believe that her Honor was dispassionate and unbiased —not passionately driven by personal bias.
Trump’s defense team is claiming that Judge Chutkan is undermining the public’s trust. The lawyers cited case law to support it. “What matters is not the reality of bias, but it’s appearance,” they argued in their brief.
The four indictments of Donald Trump are already perceived by many to be politically driven. Public opinion polls bear that out. 85% of Republicans think Trump should not be prosecuted, according to a national poll from Quinnipiac University.
The chosen venues make matters worse. In the Washington DC trial, the jury pool will be composed of people who almost certainly despise the former president and voted overwhelmingly against him. This puts his Constitutional “right to an impartial jury” under the Sixth Amendment in obvious jeopardy.
Americans are deeply divided over the criminalization of political disputes and unequal justice. A neutral judge and an impartial jury might not resolve that division, but at least it would be a valued step in the direction of fairness in our system of justice.

HOW COULD CROOKED JOE BIDEN, THE WORST AND MOST INCOMPETENT PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES, ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN? WE WENT FROM THE ABRAHAM ACCORDS AND PEACE, TO UNPRECEDENTED DEATH AND DESTRUCTION. NEVERTHELESS, THIS BIG AND VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM IS SOLVABLE. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!

Vivek has hit his ceiling
Too many have caught on to his flip-flopping on past statements, whether they were 2 years ago or 2 weeks ago
This is what happens when you don’t actually hold the core beliefs you claim to have (which I called out very early)
You can MagaGPT the “right” answer for each crowd, but your inconsistent beliefs eventually catch up with you
But he ain’t no POTUS

Battle for the gavel: Scalise drops OUT, Jim Jordan stays IN
October 13, 2023
The House of Representatives has yet to secure a new Speaker in the wake of Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s, R-Calif., ousting, drawing attention to what may be contentious inner negotiations among Republicans at Capitol Hill.
According to Just the News, Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., withdrew his name from the Speaker’s race on Thursday, citing a lack of unity in the congressional conference. Previously, Scalise won the Speakership nomination in a private ballot conference in D.C. by a vote of 113 against Rep. Jim Jordan’s 99.
However, with Scalise out of the race, Rep. Jordan may yet have a path to winning the gavel. The Ohio congressman has been endorsed by President Donald J. Trump.

As reported by RSBN, a candidate needs to secure 217 votes to win the Speakership, and without Scalise running for the seat, more votes are expected to swing toward Jordan. However, Rep. Tom Emmer, R-Minn., could possibly jump into the race, as well, according to a report from Fox News.
Emmer is the Republican Majority Whip.
A contingency of America First representatives in the House have followed Trump’s lead and endorsed Jordan for Speaker, including Reps. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., and Thomas Massie, R-Ky.
Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., who initiated the motion to vacate Rep. McCarthy from the position of Speaker, explained on X that his goal is to “get the most conservative Speaker of the House with broad trust across the conference.”
He continued, “The Swamp of Washington D.C. is going crazy right now because they are not in complete and total control–this gives us a great opportunity to put the interests of our fellow Americans first.”
Currently, Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., is serving as the Speaker Pro Tempore until Congress selects a Speaker.
