That was fast... and furious. The 11th Circuit quickly vacated Judge Cannon's order appointing a Special Master in the Trump/Mar-a-Lago search case. The per curiam opinion (CJ Pryor, Grant, Brasher) didn't hold back:
The law is clear. We cannot write a rule that allows any subject of a search warrant to block government investigations after the execution of the warrant. Nor can we write a rule that allows only former presidents to do so. Either approach would be a radical reordering of our caselaw limiting the federal courts’ involvement in criminal investigations. And both would violate bedrock separation-of-powers limitations. Accordingly, we agree with the government that the district court improperly exercised equitable jurisdiction, and that dismissal of the entire proceeding is required.
The district court improperly exercised equitable jurisdiction in this case. For that reason, we VACATE the September 5 order on appeal and REMAND with instructions for the district court to DISMISS the underlying civil action.

SMACKDOWN!
Has a SDFL DC judge ever been impeached? Ilegit Pres begets illegit judge... book smart > common sense! AVOID THE LOOK OF IMPROPRIETY!
Alcee Hastings was impeached and convicted.
Whoa. I didn’t like the ruling either, and I hate trump. But, getting a ruling wrong is not corruption. Judge made an error, not a big deal.
Aileen Cannon is banking on a Supreme Court seat for embarrassing herself, throwing her oath out of the window, and bending over backwards to delay the investigation. She should be charged with obstruction of justice! It wasn't a mistake...she has no trial experience but she did write at least a FEW briefs while plotting her moves at SDFL USAO.
Her arrogance knows no bounds! The mask finally came off! Send her off with Agent Orange!
Agree, no common sense! Ya think?
Sure hope she doesn't take it out on WPB group!
