    They’ve already overturned her twice. They know she’s an incompetent hack & beholden to Trump.

    I said it yesterday, she wants to be removed at a late enough stage of the trial that it will take another judge past the election to get up to speed on the case.

      It’s important to note too that the ones overturning her were appointed by conservative presidents. It’s that blatantly bad.

        We just have to hope their conservative bias doesn’t go so far as a fascist takeover. The Bush years were bad but not on this level of corrupt.

          Yeah, that’s kind of what I’m waiting for myself. If Smith brings mandamus against Cannon and the 11th Circuit turns it down, I will personally see it as our nation having crossed a line that cannot be uncrossed. Whether we’re there yet I don’t know, but that’s my line in the sand: in a clear cut prosecution case without legal ambiguity, there is obvious judicial misconduct, obvious ignorance and/or deliberate misinterpretation of the law by the judge, and mandamus is the specific judicial remedy. If the 11th doesn’t grant it, after having already pushed back hard on her shitty Trump rulings before, I think we’re past the point of no return.

      Why do people keep calling her incompetent? As far as I can tell, she’s been doing her job – being a blatantly corrupt ally of Trump – perfectly.

      What opportunity to skew the trial in Trump’s favor has she not taken advantage of? 'Cause that’s the true measure of her being incompetent.

        Yeah, this seems more on the order of weaponized incompetence, it’s giving the appearance of incompetence for a specific purpose so she can try to avoid claims of corruption or bias. Otherwise, she’s doing the job she was put in there to do, that’s why Trump and the GOP were so hot on getting all those Judges appointed.
