Judges are off-limits only as long as they’re trying to send Republicans to prison.
The media has become so inured to its own hypocrisy that it has spent months simultaneously claiming that Trump’s attacks on his judges are a grave threat that must be met with gag orders while attacking Judge Aileen Cannon who stands accused of actually considering evidence before rushing to railroad Trump.
The obsession with Judge Cannon is so extreme that you now see bizarre headlines like this in the media…

Apart from Justice Clarence Thomas, Judge Cannon has been the judge most consistently in the media’s sights, facing a campaign of non-stop harassment, demonization, and pressure campaigns to remove her from the case.
The media claims that Trump’s comments about his judges pose a threat, but the media’s campaign against Judge Cannon led one woman to be sentenced to prison for threatening to kill her in front of her family.
Has the media changed course? No.
It’s highly unusual for the media to launch a harassment campaign against a federal judge who isn’t being nominated for anything, but the media has done it.
The same media that lectures us about how judges should be off-limits doesn’t actually believe it.
Should judges be off-limits? According to the media, it depends on their position on Trump. Judges are off-limits only as long as they’re trying to send Republicans to prison. The moment they stop doing that, they’re fair game.
