    They’re not “taking advantage of a rookie”. They’re in cahoots. I will guarantee you she sees an opportunity to angle this into a possible appointment higher up the judicial food chain if Trump gets re-elected, and wants to make sure Trump gets the hint that if she gets an appointment, she’ll continue to run even more cover for him. And I guarantee you that Trump has already let her know that he intends to do that just so he can have another stooge higher up the food chain in his pocket.

    This is all deliberate. She’s not even trying to hide it. She doesn’t have to. She knows there’s zero chance she’ll be removed from the bench for it, and if Trump wins the election it won’t matter anyway and she’ll be set for life. Even if her reputation is ruined and she ends up resigning in disgrace, the right-wing-talk-show circuit is quite lucrative these days, and I guarantee you that NewsMax or OANN would scoop her up in seconds. She knows that too.

      When you look at what she’s done, she’s beyond obvious.

      She had an order overturned early on, and then, rather than changing the types of things she’s doing, she changed the format that she’s using to do those things. She started using these paperless orders that are more difficult to challenge.

      She’s favoring Trump as much as she thinks is possible to get away with. And if Trump is elected, some have been saying that he plans to appoint Cannon to the Supreme Court.
