I think it's highly possible she'll cause delays but very unlikely Scrivener7 Jun 2023 #14

The 11th Circuit has a Loose Cannon Watchguard. The Law doesn't approve of dictators Alexander Of Assyria Jun 2023 #15

Prosecutors know judges. Comes with the territory. I look forward to the week. Tetrachloride Jun 2023 #3

She is not necessarily the final trial judge. I think this is actually good. ashredux Jun 2023 #4

Yes, and with a good case like US has, she has little wiggle room Bernardo de La Paz Jun 2023 #8

Maybe not but actions should have been taken to remove her SouthernDem4ever Jun 2023 #27

You can't remove a judge until they've been assigned, duh. Ocelot II Jun 2023 #47

What actions? On what grounds? onenote Jun 2023 #48

Agree. Speedy trial. It's a constitutional guarantee! A loose cannon isn't going to budge the needle Alexander Of Assyria Jun 2023 #13

Add I also know TFG's done badly with the judges he appointed so far. Very badly. Even with SCOTUS. marble falls Jun 2023 #7

Great summary of the dangers and the reasons for hope. Thank you. Scrivener7 Jun 2023 #19

Re: #3. I think she knows that hopes for any future promotion are in the shitter, 3Hotdogs Jun 2023 #24

+1. And she knows there is zero likelihood of her being impeached by the House. dalton99a Jun 2023 #42

I read the Slate article differently. yardwork Jun 2023 #39

Cannon is like the Trump judge in Texas, Matthew Kacsmaryk - brazen and shameless. dalton99a Jun 2023 #31

Sure, for a few years, but then she'd sink and be forgotten and have to compete Bernardo de La Paz Jun 2023 #33
