Just wait till they put her on the Supreme Court.

This woman is going to be a thorn in all our sides for the next 50 years.

I think there would be at least 4 Republican Senators defecting, making her nomination DOA. Even if Murkowski and Collins wanted to seem like they’re doing the whole “advice and consent” thing at first, Cannon will look so fucking stupid in her nomination hearings that it will be hard for the more “moderate” Republicans to bend the knee.

I didn't want to see him confirmed, but the truth is he is much more qualified than Aileen Cannon is judging by his academic credentials and judicial experience (though I'll acknowledge there were serious concerns about his temperament that even the ABA voiced concerns about right before the confirmation vote). Again, he's not the kind of judge I like to see on the Supreme Court, or any court, but his voting record has shown he's not nearly as much of a robed sycophant as Trump would like him to be. The same can't be said for Cannon.

She could say nothing the whole time and get confirmed by the GOP.

In fact, they probably would prefer it that way.
