There’s an opinion upthread that today’s ruling is all about Jack Smith setting Cannon up for mandamus, which is the appropriate legal remedy for this exact situation. Unfortunately, the question we’re now faced with is whether they will apply it.
The 11th Circuit has previously acted with haste to correct Cannon’s errors when those have been brought before the 11th Circuit. And this one is the most glaring error of all, by a longshot.
Smith is going to put something before the full circuit. He’s already put down on paper several times about how Trump just wants to delay everything for as long as possible, and this kind of error only serves that purpose.
