Maybe the other 2 Judges didn't want it and passed it to the low person on the pole? I know it says blind, but you are blind if you think that there isn't ways around that.
So let's back up even more.
Why did Smith file in FL vs DC?
Because a Venue motion to move the case to DC would have eaten up valuable time. So he gambled on Florida, probably thinking his odds of not getting Cannon were in his favor. Lost that one and is now paying the price. Now he's trying to bully her and she's not backing down and the clock is ticking and hitting the critical stage.
What have I been saying on here all along about taking guys like Trump to court? Have you ducks in a row and don't any make mistakes. Whether she is intentionally or un-intentionally slow playing this case, the fault lies directly with Smith for filing the case in FL.
I have no idea why he would have wanted to have this case tried in FL (you know it's a Red State right??) and probably half to 2/3rds of the Jurors will be Trump Supporters.
It was filed in Florida because that is where the charged crimes were committed
And the Chief Judge does have some discretion to override automatic assignments. He could have recused Cannon, for instance, because she was appointed to the bench by Trump, just to avoid the appearance of a conflict
Fueled by the pursuit of greatness.
