As expected, Cannon is giving Trump what he wants.
Delay the inevitable, fascism demands it.

She should have never been in that position in the first place and anyone appointed by trump should be reviewed/removed from their position.
But apparently a judge appointed by a literal traitor is a-okay.
Contrary to popular belief, it’s very difficult to challenge the assignment of a judge.
The threshold for bias in a judge is also almost impossibly high to meet.

Yeah, that about sums it up.
And how many poor people are there in their ranks? Ensuring a certain class of people are not held accountable is the point.
I wonder if Cannon is panicking on the inside from imposter syndrome every day of her life in her appointment, or if she has like, a calm sense of self-assurance that this is right, she was appropriately promoted to this role, this is God’s reward and blessing for a loyal servant?
I’ll go with the Dunning–Kruger … this is gods reward version that she tells herself. There’s no way she’s self aware of how rotten she is. I think they knew this when they appointed her.
her credibility is going to be shot if she gets bitch slapped again by the higher court.
She won’t care. Not in the slightest.
She can only be removed through the same impeachment Donald Trump just skated through, twice. There’s no chance that her job status will be affected in any way. And if Trump, or possibly any other Republican, gets into office, this trial is basically an audition for Clarence Thomas’s seat on the SC. She’ll have the unwavering support of a good chunk of the people in her area and probably a good 25-30% nationwide. If she does decide to step down at some point, the right-wing hate machine will have a bidding war for her as a consultant.
Sad but true fact: There’s a very good chance that throwing the trial for Trump would set her up for life.
I agree but that’s so far down the line and “the damage will have been done,” by then so to speak.
The two big issues of this article are 1. Start time of the trial, which Cannon has agreed that mid-December (5 months from now!) is too early; and 2. That Trump can’t get a fair trial while he’s campaigning (Cannot didn’t agree to this).
Let’s say the trial doesn’t start until after March when Trump is the obvious front runner for the RNC after Super Tuesday. His next ploy will be “I can’t campaign enthusiastically while this trial is going on, so delay it,” and Cannon may/may not allow it. Then heaven forbid Trump is elected president again, he will claim his position is now completely beyond reproach (there’s another submission in this magazine to a video explaining that this is his stated goal) and so now he’s exempt from being held accountable through this trial at all.
Even if this court case was wrapped up before November 2024, he’s going to challenge any outcome that doesn’t exonerate him. And yes, a higher court would comment about how this shouldn’t have ever received the first delay and should have started in December 2023, but what all machinations have transpired in the background while that appeals trial is happening and being decided?
yes yes and yes.
I’m only here to add: if he gets elected again he will absolutely 100% pardon himself. I figure if another Republican gets elected there is still a high probability of a pardon if only “so the country can heal” (or some such bullshit).
(Obviously only for federal cases)
I expect Smith to take this to the court above her, and I hope they give her a smackdown, just like they did before.
