    Has anyone in a position of authority ever faced consequences for this? Because in Cannon’s case, you’d have to prove that she didn’t have a legitimate reason to do what she did and that it rose to the level of an ethics violation deserving of punishment. Which we can infer given the obvious conflict of interest but if that was enough to punish her it would have probably happened by now. And the standard for evidence required to punish a judge like that is reasonably high.
