Petitions calling for the removal of Judge Aileen Cannon from Donald Trump's classified documents case have now amassed more than 300,000 signatures.
Cannon, a Trump-appointed U.S. district court judge, is facing calls to recuse herself from the former president's classified documents case over concerns regarding her impartiality. Trump is facing dozens of criminal charges related to claims that he kept classified material at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida after leaving the White House and then obstructed authorities' efforts to retrieve them. He has pleaded not guilty to all counts.
Newsweek has found six petitions calling for Cannon's removal from the case. One petition, run by Daily Kos, a progressive news site, has almost 102,000 signatures so far. "Federal law requires a judge to step away from a case in which impartiality 'might reasonably be questioned.' Given Judge Cannon's history and previous rulings in Trump's favor, her impartiality reaches that threshold," the petition said.
"This is not a matter of politics; it's a matter of justice. We must all stand for a fair and impartial judicial system regardless of political affiliation. We must demand that those in positions of power are held accountable for their actions. This case is a litmus test for our democracy, and we cannot afford to fail," it continued.
Newsweek has contacted a spokesperson for the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida for comment via email.
Another petition, with 99,183 signatures, calls on Chief Judge Cecilia M. Altonaga of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida to remove Cannon, saying Altonaga "has authority under federal law and internal court procedure to reassign a new judge to this case, one who will prioritize equal justice under the law."

The comments under this are remarkably on our side on a site that employs a collective ban/block feature. iow if a reply is flagged enough it vanishes and if too many are flagged the account is banned. The result of the comments being on our side is somewhat amazing.
The Hammy hos, “porn stars” named “Stormy”, prostitutes and biabnormal RAT politicians want to see Trump swingin’ from a big oak in a bad way.
Those hos be carrying a lot of hatred towards males.
Daily Kos = Democratic Underground
LOL
Hold my beer.
Release the names and home address of signatories or else they are fake.
We can play that game and carry flaming torches as good as the rest. /spit
Oh, good. Then the other judges in cases against Trump can also be removed. They can’t have their cake and eat it, too.
Newsweek writers lack any integrity in their missives. Their snide comments in the first two sentences were enough for me to stop reading. They don’t know how to just write facts without trying to spin and propagandize. Pathetic.
She should send out 300K Citations and Subpoena’s for CONTEMPT OF COURT and issue a Bench Warrant for every person that signed the petition.
There are many more very stupid people than that.
Riiight...what about Garland, Wray, Jack Smith the FBI and DOJ that tampered with/falsified evidence and lied to the court. Nobody is above the Law! (except the DOJ, FBI, Jack Smith, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Obamby, the DNC and senior democrat officials).
They seek to replace her with “. . .one who will prioritize equal justice under the law.”
In keeping with the sentiments of the Hard Left. They tend to seek justice that favors the government oppressor. Government rights, general rights, never individual rights.
The government must be alowed to entrap and imprison any one they choose.We must have a government free of the constraints of justice.

Message: Judge Aileen Cannon, a respected district court judge, is unfairly facing partisan calls to recuse herself regarding her impressive judgemanship. We urge you to sustain and uphold the exemplary decision making exhibited by Cannon.
Tell Jack Smith to stop tampering with evidence.
Yeah, the sore dem cooches can’t handle an honest judge
“Maybe they all should stage a hunger strike?”
Maybe they should set themselves on fire... en masse to the tune of Disco Inferno. That’d really send a message.
Yeah 300,000 signatures. From where?
Yeah I’m sure all those signatures are legit.. 🙄
