Great, now do Clarence Thomas and his wife
Seems the law works differently depending on which party you more closely align with. Isn't that right Judge Cannon?
- "This prosecutor is out of order. This whole courtroom is OUT OF ORDER!"
  quick pause for a calming bong rip
  "And you know what else is bullshit..."
  
  “You not passing on the left hand side! Contempt of court! Ok…now gimme that” - Judge Respectable
Cool. Bye-bye Wade.
Let it continue with the person who is clearly the best person for the job.
This went about as I expected. I'm glad that Fani can remain on the case, and that this didn't derail the trial to a significant degree. Hopefully she nails it, and her story becomes a great comedy movie staring Tiffany Haddish and Mike Epps
- It delays it, which is what Trump wants
- Is this true? All the news I’ve seen is that Wade resigned but Willis will stay on. If they both quit, that’s huge news I would expect someone to be reporting.

Wade resigned shortly after this ruling.
WTF!!!
- Honestly, this is probably the best outcome that could come out of this. I don't think she did anything wrong since they were both on the same side of the case, but I think it was obvious that some sort of discipline about appropriate behavior would come down and Fani Willis gets to keep prosecuting Trump, which is the most important part.
  
  It's crazy how Americans find it proper to meddle in people's private life, when there is no conflict of interest. But when there actually is a conflict, it doesn't matter as long as it's republicans. And that's even for the highest court in the country, which is so fucked up compromised it should be dismantled altogether. But instead they are allowed to dismantle decades of progress, and maybe even democracy itself.
  I'd go crazy if I lived in USA, just reading about it over here in EU, can almost drive you crazy.
  
  That's the thing, the judge has an obligation to be fair, and the Prosecution needs to have all their bases covered because the defense is presumed innocent until they are proven guilty. This means that the defense often gets the benefit of the doubt when things like this pop up, to make sure nothing can happen to overturn any guilty verdict that comes down.
  And this DA knows all that, knows how tight her cases need to be in order to stick. So engaging in this relationship in the first place was a poor choice. It should never have happened, and I think she knows that.
