Judge Aileen Cannon is unapologetically grateful and loyal to Donald Trump.

After all, she would not have her position at all if Trump had not chosen her after the last election had been decided. He needed his own Judge, close to home, that would help him get out of legal jams and was more than willing to help him. She is a loyal person and is very grateful for what Trump did for her. A lifetime appointment with great pay - what more could a person ask for?

She has very little experience and is more than willing to take advice from anyone that might need her help, especially the legal team of Donald J Trump.

She is in a category similar to SC Justice Clarence Thomas. Both are useless to the legal profession but they serve a purpose for their masters.

The right wing nut jobs in SCOTUS will hopefully one day soon be the basis for a required course in judicial ethics for every one who attends law school.

They are a living, breathing, walking example of why you cannot trust the judiciary to police itself for ethical considerations.

As a jurist, he is worthless. As an example of a failed system, he may be the brightest start beginning with the sham of his confirmation hearing.

Ready willing and able to ignore her years of legal training in order to kiss TFGs ass.

She's angling for the next rung up the ladder, and demonstrating her willingness to debase herself in any way necessary to serve the partisan/ideological cause, as a means of enticing her selection at the next opportunity.

Boof Boy and the Handmaiden and Gorsuch all authored "pick me! pick me!" opinions/dissents/articles prior to their nominations to SCOTUS, as did Justin whatshisface in re the appellate court.
