What a great choice. Congrats!
Unfortunately, her assigning Judge Cannon to the Trump case feels potentially biased. I’m sure she’ll say because of Cannon’s history on the case, but with a case this significant, one would hope she checked with the chief judge first.
Something about Caesar’s wife comes to mind. Unbelievable that Noble could even CONSIDER putting Cannon on this case after her performance the first time where her ridiculous torturing of the law was overturned by the very conservative 11th Circuit judges as wrong. Hopefully this “mid-step” will end both their careers.
Is there any oversight into how Judge Aileen M. Cannon was assigned the Trump case? Is the public expected to accept the statement: The chief clerk of court for the Southern District of Florida (Angela E. Noble) confirmed that new cases in the district are randomly assigned to judges. Who or what process is responsible for making the "random" selection and why is the public not made aware of the specifics in this particular case? Not a lot of transparency there and not a very reassuring instance of our "independent" legal system in action.
