    Cannon should be charged with obstruction.

        Even if it were fired from space, a cannon large enough to fire a Cannon projectile would need to have a muzzle velocity of at least 1467 ft/sec to offset Earth’s orbital speed and begin the fall towards the Sun. While modern high velocity cannons can far exceed that for small solid projectiles, we’re talking about firing a federal judge-shaped fleshy mass. Even if such a Cannon cannon were to be constructed, it is highly likely that, upon firing, its passenger would simply be turned into a non-federal judge shaped (and decidedly more juicy) fleshy mass due to the acceleration forces.

        Or, and hear me out:

        Into another cannon. Endless entertainment.

        Cannon fires Cannon into cannon. More at 10.
