Gateway Pundit ^ | February 18, 2025 | Cristina Laila

[Macho MAGA Man]

This guy is an Obama FISA judge born to Cubans. He presided over the case of former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn

[shotgun]

“only for inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office.”

Shouldn’t be too hard to get her on any 1 of these 3 types of infractions

[lowbridge]

Fine. Change her responsibilities to janitor of the building.

[Fido969]

Why aren’t these judgments immediately appealed?

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Peter Strzock’s next door neighbor.
Used to go over to Peter’s house for BBQ.
Often.
Might still

[caver]

If Biden can hire the judge, then Trump can fire the judge.

[TexasGator]

Judge temporarily blocks Trump from firing Democratic member of federal employee appeals board

[TLI]

“”Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB).””

???

Sounds like DOGE material...

.

[Macho MAGA Man]

It was just handed down a few hours ago. Give Trump’s lawyers time to respond.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Appointed in 2021.
So...Biden appointment.
Who was there before?
Did Biden fire (or request the resignation of) her predecessor?

[jerod]

She and all the other appointees are guilty on all three charges... There is no need to say it. ‘You’re fired!’ Suffices.

[No name given]

Impeach this judge pronto!

[JBW1949]

If Obama can appoint a judge, then Trump can sure enough disappoint the same judge...

[dware]

Mississippi v Johnson,1867 SCOTUS decision says the judges ruling is entirely illegitimate

[Ronaldus Magnus III]

I seem to remember a solution to such situations. Instead of terminating the person, they could eliminate the job they hold.

Downsized.

On the way out the door, they could be provided with a lunch pail, and a book: Learn How To Code

[Macho MAGA Man]

Doesn’t work that way!

[Jane Long]

Sick and tired of these so-called judges thinking they can pull rank over the EXECUTIVE of the US Executive Branch.

[vpintheak]

SO A Dim POTUS can hire someone in, but a Repub POTUS can’t fire and replace them?
I’m calling bovine excrement.

[shelterguy]

“””Learn How To Code”””

Learn to pick lettuce. Easier to learn and plenty of jobs available.

[Steely Tom]

That means no one has the authority to fire her, and she’s effectively the President.
