Lawyers who appeared before Judge Aileen Cannon had some sharp critiques of how she oversaw the courtroom.
Judge Aileen Cannon, who is presiding over Donald Trump’s classified documents case, may be in over her head due to a serious lack of experience, according to a new report from CNN.
The news outlet spoke to 10 attorneys who had cases before Cannon in the Southern District of Florida—and they painted a picture of a judge with limited trial experience, who’s prone to getting bogged down by irrelevant legal questions and struggles to manage her docket of cases efficiently.
Before Trump appointed her to the federal bench in 2020, Cannon was an attorney in the Justice Department for seven years and only took part in four criminal trials. In her four years as a judge, she hasn’t presided over many criminal cases either—and attorneys said it shows.
“She just seems overwhelmed by the process,” one lawyer told CNN. Other lawyers said that she lets small, marginal issues overwhelm the major details of cases. She also has rejected joint motions, agreed upon by both parties in a case with no dispute.
And what will Congress do? They have the power to impeach and convict federal judges. But they’ll do nothing because it’s difficult to do anything without a backbone.
That is an extremely difficult task without a mountain of evidence of wrongdoing and a Republican house which is the one with the power of impeachment.
Americans are going to die because of her

Even if Dems had both houses it needs 2/3rds of the Senate to remove her. That will never happen. Even if we made Puerto Rico and Washington DC a state that won’t happen
Give her a handy, I assume.
Truth.
False. You can’t give a woman a handy. It’s a fingerbang.
