> [@Procrustus](#): > > The federal system is very invested in the concept of “you get the sucky judge you get and there is nothing you can do about it.” Wait, so they’re literally going with “You get what you get and you don’t get upset”? That’s kinda grade-school, but I can see the reasoning. ---

> [@Procrustus](#): > > The 11th Circuit might reverse her, but I strongly doubt they’ll force her off the case. That just isn’t done. The federal system is very invested in the concept of “you get the sucky judge you get and there is nothing you can do about it.” But might the visibility and historical significance be factors that force their hand? I realize I’m asking you if an unprecedented, perhaps-existential-to-our-democracy scenario might well lead to an unprecedented decision. I’ll answer that one: yes, it might. But doesn’t this particular case and its import at least shake your confidence in how the court will rule? ---

I guess Joe Scarborough had Trump on the phone during Morning Joe, and Trump wouldn’t shut up, so Joe gave him the boot. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/Qxm6zlszwno/maxresdefault.jpg "Joe Scarborough hangs up on Donald Trump live on air") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qxm6zlszwno) ---

I liked the way Scarborough called him simply “Donald.” So disrespectful. ---

Sparse attendance at CPAC this year. > **[‘What An Embarrassment’: Left and Right Skewer CPAC For Low Attendance At...](https://www.mediaite.com/news/what-an-embarrassment-left-and-right-skewer-cpac-for-low-attendance-at-maga-dominated-event/)** > > “Thinner crowd — and fewer stalls — at this year’s CPAC, compared to last year.

I don’t see why they have a problem with the number. All they have to do is get Trump to announce the attendance. ---
