As expected, Cannon is giving Trump what he wants.

- 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.

- That would have delayed as well. I presume he's banking on upcoming further indictments elsewhere.
- 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.
Delay the inevitable, fascism demands it.
I expect Smith to take this to the court above her, and I hope they give her a smackdown, just like they did before.
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?
- her credibility is going to be shot if she gets bitch slapped again by the higher court.
  
  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?
- 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.
Looks like it is time to get those New Jersey indictments going.
