NEW: When Judge Aileen Cannon drew the Trump classified documents case, two more experienced judges in Florida's southern district—including its chief—urged her to step aside and let someone else take it. She refused. (gift link)

Now I have to wonder what horrible impending decision prompted somebody to leak this in order to cover their posterior

Cannon refusing to give the case to another judge is the headline news, but I don't find it particularly troubling - it's how random assignment works. However, the article's mention of her cutting out Magistrate Judge Reinhart is disconcerting - she should be using his experience w/ pretrial stuff.

At this point why can't she be forcefully removed from the case and another judge appointed? This is clearly obstruction; no bones about it, so why can't we do anything about it?

I'm surprised at how unsurprised I am to learn she had a chance to do the right thing and chose not to.

it really seems like there should be some oversight of the judicial branch that's not "trust individual judges to do the right thing 100% of the time"

Why would she? It's not like it's against the law. I wonder what the Norms Defenders will say to this.

She is SO so far over her head. It’s almost laughable.

Interesting that this story comes out now. Is the table being set for a challenge?

She'll get some kind of rebuke once the dust settles, but she's done her job already. Delayed til after the election. I bet her bribe will be shockingly small

The state of the federal courts is disastrous but she still sticks out among the crowd. Just a pure political hack in a black robe

As others have already said, she's just doing what she's been appointed to do -- and it's infuriating.

She was jammed through at the 11th hour for that district and without proper background scrutiny precisely because it was likely any MAL case would be brought there. Any notion of her stepping aside was and is laughable. I hope nobody still thinks she's merely inexperienced and/or incompetent.

Love that so much of our entire system of governance and judiciary is just a series of "Will you not do this corrupt thing?" "No." "Pretty please will you not?" "Still no." "Ah, alas."
