The judge in former U.S. President Donald Trump’s upcoming trial over his handling of classified documents made two key errors in a June trial, one of which violated a fundamental constitutional right of the defendant and could have invalidated the proceedings, according to legal experts and a court transcript.
“Trying to make her look bad” by explaining a time she deprived people of Constitutional rights in her court room, and made dumb mistakes like not swearing in a jury.
She just looks bad, factually.
The author can’t “know” that she will make a mistake and that’s why they didn’t claim that. But when you put someone in charge of an extremely important case, it just is relevant if they have made bad mistakes in the past. The potential for errors and illegal, unconstitutional actions, are higher when the person has done it before. That is newsworthy.
I’m not concern trolling. My criticism is of what the media chooses to focus on. Why not write about how the appointment system is flawed and she should have never been appointed? They don’t because that’s tedious and doesn’t scratch that tribalism itch. Everything is newsworthy. It’s what they choose to cover, or not cover that bothers me.
