    I’m suggesting that everyone complaining and wanting “they” to do something is a large part of the problem of why nothing changes. Everyone wants someone to do something, but no one wants to be that someone doing it.

    *oh no. The down votes. That’s fixing everything. Oh my.

      So who do we call to demand the removal of this partisan judge?

      Maybe there is a legal way to get this done, or at least “grey area”

      I am assuming if we can get the emails and numbers of the people responsible, we could set up a group to rotate calls and emails to absolutely flood their communication abilities until they capitulate.

      Not just official channels, their home and cell phones too, and make sure their mailbox is always full of strongly worded letters (not hate mail or glitter bombs) demanding her removal from the bench.

      OK, but in this story, “they” is federal judges in an actual position of authority who recognize the threat and possess the means to a remedy. I’m not like sitting in a field, staring up at the stars, wishing someone could cure my lonely condition. I don’t want someone to do something, I want these two judges to force Aileen Cannon to step aside like they suggested she should.

      They can do something, they know what should be done, and they do nothing because they lack the political will. If enough people stand up and demand action, we will see action.

      That’s something we can do. That’s something I’m doing right now, and it’s something you’re discouraging for some reason.
