Legal experts criticized Cannon’s pace in scheduling for the classified docs case with some accusing the Trump appointee of setting an elongated timeline to the former president’s benefit.
“It really appears Cannon is slow-walking this case to benefit Trump,” former federal prosecutor Randall Eliason, wrote on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. “She’s already had these motions for weeks, and schedules the hearings more than two weeks from now? And this after taking weeks to issue a standard protective order.”
But this excludes all other judges that were appointed by 1) a different Republican president than Trump, and 2) a different Democrat president than Biden, no?
Unless all judge terms are shorter than 1-2 terms for presidents (haven’t read all state/federal codes), this would leave a lot of judges left that would be considered less biased towards/against those under their prudence. No need to go nuclear devil’s advocate for this one.
You are assuming republicans would negotiate in good faith, which is, forgive me, quite naïve.
I’m not claiming they would act in good faith, just that they would have less (unconscious) biased towards plaintiffs/defendants. Conscious biases would still be in play
