Imagine a court filled with Judge Cannons, those who rule by making up or twisting decisions out of loyalty to those who appointed them. There would be no appeals to a higher bench that would rule per the law because they would rule to the person who put them in office. Fortunately for now, appeals courts and federal district courts all refused to say they're was widespread fraud in 2020 presidential elections. and in 2022, Cannon got a slap down by the appeals court. Here is another example of why our court system still has enough integrity to protect us from incompetent and wacko interpretations of the law. The rule of law is not dead yet.
