There's also been some reporting on the number of trials Judge Cannon has had: 4 out of a little more than 200 cases (or about 2%). Folks are criticizing the low number of trials. That's fine, but it shouldn't be a criticism of Judge Cannon. That's the percentage of cases that go to trial nationwide. Judge Cannon is no different. So feel free to criticize our system (which is fair!), but the low number of cases that have proceeded to trial before Judge Cannon is not a fault of hers.
True. Limit the criticisms to her temperament and scholarship. And Stephanie forgot to proofread the transcript.
ReplyDeleteThe low number of trials is not a fault of hers in the sense that it doesn’t make her a bad person. But it is a fault in the sense that she has not yet acquired critical experience needed for a trial like this.
ReplyDeleteTwo years in the major crimes division of the USAO for the Southern District of Florida and she first chaired two felon-in-possession trials and second chaired two other trials is preposterous. It's no wonder she was relegated to appeals for the remainder of her temure.
ReplyDeleteI do not think anyone was saying it was a fault of hers. Just pointing out her inexperience. She has had very few trials as a lawyer and a judge.
ReplyDelete9:54 not sure why you said she was "relegated" to appeals. Maybe she had more of an interest in that type of work? Appellate lawyers are people too!
ReplyDeleteMaybe we should wait and see how Judge Cannon does. Although young and relatively inexperienced, she may rise to the occasion. We can only hope that her instinct to be fair to Trump during the investigation will extend to all defendants, includiing the ordinary ones in ordinary cases.
ReplyDeleteJudge Cannon's first test may be whether to issue a gag order.
ReplyDeleteSO NOW THAT EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS THAT THE PRESIDENTIAL RECORDS ACT, PLUS THE CLINTON SOCKS CASE, TOTALLY EXONERATED ME FROM THE CONTINUING WITCH HUNT BROUGHT ON BY CORRUPT JOE BIDEN, THE DOJ, DERANGED JACK SMITH, AND THEIR RADICAL LEFT, MARXIST THUGS, WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO DROP ALL CHARGES AGAINST ME, APOLOGIZE, AND RETURN EVERYTHING THAT WAS ILLEGALLY TAKEN (FOURTH AMENDMENT) FROM MY HOME? THIS WAS NOTHING OTHER THAN ELECTION INTERFERENCE!!!" the former president posted on his social network.
"PROSECUTORIAL MISCONDUCT AT A LEVEL SELDOM SEEN IN OUR COUNTRY BEFORE!"
Granting motion to suppress means appellate review. Judge Cannon is not stupid. She will Rule 29 this baby at close of governments case….unless Biden pardons trump first.
ReplyDelete9:43's comments indicate that Judge Cannon has already either prejudged the case or will act as a political operative. Neither conclusion is particularly
ReplyDeletehelpful to the Judge's reputation.
Or, that the case is bs and should be joa’d.
ReplyDeleteWell... rumor has it she asked to leave major crimes and go to appeals. Not her strongest suit, you have to work long hours there, not mommy hours.
ReplyDeleteShe's inexperienced and will lash out when challenged and will either yell or cry, like a spoiled child, ordering around the help.
Heard she's remodeling her chambers....
ReplyDeleteHaters gonna hate

The comments reek of anti-female bias. THE DOJ thought Trump would fold when indicted. Instead he raised $6.6 million and had one of the best campaign days that he could. Based upon the fact that this case appears to be a battle of statutes, appellate experience may just be what the doctor ordered.
ReplyDeleteThe magistrate judge might have thought to make his gag order conditioned upon DOJ not leaking any adverse material. If it does, the gag order should dissolve. Imagine the DOJ having to prosecute a high profile case on the merits!
The problem, and it is a problem, is not of Cannon's making. No, this one is on our Senators who thought it a good idea to push her name up the WH for nomination. Federalist Society membership is weighted too much in certain circles as a qualification for the bench.
ReplyDeleteIt got a certain WPB Magistrate's wife to the state bench after her many years of trying...
