As Twitchy reported Monday morning, Judge Aileen Cannon, who was overseeing Donald Trump's classified documents case, dismissed it, writing that Special Counsel Jack Smith's appointment was unconstitutional. TV lawyers seemed to think that, by the same reasoning, Hunter Biden's case could be dismissed too … except for the fact that David Weiss was an active U.S. Attorney within the Justice Department who had been confirmed by the Senate, neither of which applied to Smith.
What's pathetic is that Keith Olbermann won't even see the irony in his own tweet calling for Cannon to be arrested, even if they had to make up a charge.
President Biden should take the SCOTUS cloaking mask of immunity and have Merrick Garland arrest Aileen Cannon. If they need to make up a charge, haul her in for impersonating a judge.

"Make up a charge" ... that's exactly how we got here. https://t.co/4ZIRbRjdjF

Ah yes, nothing like saving democracy by imprisoning judges who rule against you.

Nothing says saving democracy like imprisoning judges on made-up charges because you don't a like legally-sound decision.

I thought you claimed to support democracy. You're a bitter, old man who's always angry. Perhaps it's time for you to take a break.

Nothing says protecting democracy like “make up a charge”.

Even Nina Turner disagrees:
No, the President should not “make up a charge” to arrest a judge.

Biden: Tone down the rhetoric.

Olbermann: Arrest Judge Cannon.
These people can’t change.
Actually Keith, it’s Jack Smith who needs to be hauled in for impersonating as special counsel.

I’ve been thinking about you Keith. It’s been a really bad few days. the Biden debate Trump surviving assassination and now this case being dismissed are you OK?

I think you are describing an authoritarian dictatorship…why does following the constitution offend you? This ruling was expected weeks ago after it came to the attention of congress the Jack Smith was appointed unconditionally.

Damn, Keith. Didn't the other Democrats tell you not to say that part out loud?
It doesn’t work that way Keith, that’s why your side is losing

The defenders of democracy now want to make up charges against judges who rule according to the Constitution.
Olbermann really seems to have a thing about women, too.
