WASHINGTON (AP) — The federal judge in Florida presiding over the classified documents prosecution of former President Donald Trump has canceled the May 20 trial date, postponing it indefinitely.
The judge’s reasoning here is that she has a large, backlogged docket of pre trial motions to clear relating to handling evidence that is itself classified at trial.
And she can’t really estimate how long it’s going to take to resolve all those issues.
Pretrial motions that she is responsible for adjudicating. She even told trump’s lawyers to take a slower approach on the motions, telling them to file them one by one instead of all at once. Source
If the judge can’t keep her calendar under control she’s incompetent and shouldn’t be on the bench. If she’s not even willing to extract time estimates from counsel then she’s abdicating and should be removed from office.

Funny how there’s always a valid reason and it just so happens to always favor the orange turnip.
If you make the rules complicated enough, you can always find a way to justify anything. This is the cornerstone of the modern legal system.

Sure is a fucking shame all those judge positions were held unfilled so there is such a backlog.
I wonder who did that and why.
Great. Let’s just move the case to a judge that’s not so busy. Lol

I mean, in all fairness if you want this case to be treated as all others this sort of stuff is to be expected.
Saying that, this one is kinda important
