    Your post history does not matter. And I can even agree with you on the media in general. But that really doesn’t matter in this case. Canon should not be a judge in any court. The same could be said for many others. But they’re coverage and characterization of Canon is important with regards to this historic and important case that she will be overseeing. Likely to all of our deficit. Immediate and everyone is right to raise a stink about her. She’s already shown that she cannot be fair impartial or deliver Justice. Regardless of whether or not we agree with the media.

      I agree. Why do you think she delayed the case? I haven’t read anything about it. Wouldn’t delaying it closer to the election make it worse? Or is she just giving them time to get a better defense?

        The best defense Trump could get right now would probably be a free public defender. Any lawyer unscrupulous enough to be hired by him. Especially if they didn’t get all payments up front immediately. Would just ensnare themselves in his corruption just like all his previous legal council.

        Cannons delay of the trial. Is not far out of General legal precedence for cases. But it is also the best and only thing she could do for him. Having been called out by even her fellow partisans for being too beholden trump. It was about all she really could do for him. Though we know from past action she would immediately dismiss or push the case until after the election if she could. But she knows that would likely only see the case taken from her and possible impeachment from her cushy lifetime position that she is unqualified for. She is a loyal partisan fascist. But her sense of self-preservation still trumps her loyalty to Trump.
