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.

In other breaking news, researchers find that water is wet. News at 11.

I’m sure a microscope on all appointments from the orange sandwich would come to the same conclusion…

It is not surprising to us but you should not discount or disarm the outrage people should feel. This is unethical inexcusable behavior and you are helping normalize it.

By being sarcastic? Sir, I’m not the one that should be doing something about it and is not. I am venting my frustration with the corruption by making a snide comment on how all of the people the baby man appointed are corrupt as well, by calling to look at all of his appointees for corruption as well. Not saying “oh well, guess it’s just the way it is”.

And it does nothing except normalize what people should be outraged about. Every time.

I’m lost... I fail to see how my outrage about this and how I express it normalizes it. I’ll make sure to keep my mouth shut when I’m outraged in the future to make sure I’m not perceived as normalizing. Fuck me
