Cannon, whose oversight of the Donald Trump classified documents case has garnered widespread criticism, has repeatedly violated a rule requiring that federal judges disclose their attendance at private seminars.

It’s almost like the gratuities are what drive the decisions by Republican appiontees.

    Cannon had filed the Sage Lodge trips with the federal judiciary’s administrative office but had “inadvertently” not taken the second step of posting them on the court’s website. [The clerk] explained that “Judges often do not realize they must input the information twice."

    Seems like a bad system. Why not just have it be done automatically, or have the clerk do it. Presumably the judge’s time is going to be more costly than the clerk’s.

    It almost seems intentionally bad so these little oopsies can keep happening.

        Eh… large swaths of government try to be efficient… it just keeps tripping over its own feet and all the red tape lying around.

        Seems to me like the majority of this nonsense is more typical of the portion of the government that employs by appointment.

            Holy shit… totally not the response I expected either.

            But to my point, I know a handful of career civil servants and they’re pretty passionate about their roles and try to do a good job… unlike fucking lunatics like Canon who are supposed to be apolitical but politics dictate every action they take…

      As someone in the industry, every organization has to balance cost to benefits. If it costs $10k to intercomnect two low priority systems vs having each person have to double enter, they’re gonna prioritize higher priority things.

      It’s almost like a bad judgment call to not ensure you understand the rules of your job.

      One might even say if you don’t care about doing your job correctly that it shows a lack of proper judgment.

      But what do I know, I’m just a worthless factory schmuck.
