Hm. DavidLat reports that two of Judge #Cannon's clerks quit before the end of their clerkships.

The reasons for the departures are unclear, though it appears that one clerk possibly exited for family-related reasons.

But it's highly unusual for clerks to quit mid-clerkship

@GottaLaff
this might shed some light on why she takes forever to rule on pretrial motions . . .

@GottaLaff
She may even be driving her clerks away in order to give some plausible justification for her glacial pace.
I have seen judges make life impossible for a clerk they want to fire or replace.

Would make perfect sense.

Good idea.

Sigh. I can't resist honest questions.

If anyone censors anything, the uncensored parts will be leaked (too many people know or have access) and then the story become the censorship.

If only Democrats are appointed to investigate Republicans, that looks partisan.

Let it all play out.

Anyone wondering about this is in the 10% of the population that follows this stuff closely.

Better to confront

@GottaLaff
It seems to be disconnect between groups with two differing views of our situation.

“group 1” is confident that the institutions of government (including the vote) are capable of -or necessary for- surviving another Trump presidency.

“group 2” believes that time is running out, and that once Trump or someone similar takes power, there will be a human rights crisis on an unprecedented scale.

group 2 sees group 1 as “fiddling while Rome burns.”

group 1 sees group 2 as “chicken little yelling that the ‘sky is falling.’”

A dialogue between these groups would be interesting, but the potshots and snark typical of social media conversation “ain’t it.”

Good point! And by this point in the case, the “pissing off the judge” ship has long since set sail.
So there is nothing to lose. And if the judge becomes intemperate, you can quote it in your appeal!
