Seriously folks, absent evidence of payment or instructions from MAGA-land to Judge Cannon, it's a category error to think that her execrable decisions could form the basis for an impeachment. If it were otherwise, every federal judge not appointed by a Republican president -- and most Republican appointees not appointed by Trump -- would be impeached, convicted, and removed six months after the next time the Republicans take both houses of Congress.

Did any party ever ask Judge Dearie if he is available asap or faster. Cannon thinks he should work like a whirlwind if I understand the rest of her sentence and drop all other work in favour of the former guy.

No. Not so but far otherwise (h/t Kipling).

DOJ can't pick anything.

Federal appeals are decided by a panel of three judges. The parties have no control over the composition of the panel, and what little information circuit courts reveal about the assignment process does not permit prediction as to particular cases.

Motions -- such as motions for a stay of the lower court order pending resolution of the appeal -- are decided either by a three judge motion panel or, sometimes, by a single circuit judge. Parties have no control over the assignment of circuit judges to motion panels, and no control over whether a motion will be decided by a full 3 judge panel or by a single judge.

A motion under this Rule 8(a)(2) must be filed with the circuit clerk and normally will be considered by a panel of the court. But in an exceptional case in which time requirements make that procedure impracticable, the motion may be made to and considered by a single judge.

Mind you. Trump's lawyers don't say they're not Classified, just that they might be.
But Judge Judy is gonna go with the maybe here.

That astounds me.

What to know about Judge Raymond Dearie, the Mar-a-Lago search special master

Judge Aileen Cannon has appointed Judge Raymond Dearie as the special master to review documents seized during a court-approved search of former President Donald Trump's Florida home in August.

Dearie, 78, a former chief judge of the federal court in the Eastern District of New York, was one of the special master candidates suggested by Trump whom the Justice Department did not object to.

Cannon directed Dearie to issue interim reports and recommendations "as appropriate" during the review and set a Nov. 30 deadline to complete his work. The Justice Department has said it will appeal the order for a special master.

Here's what you need to know about the special master's background.

Hannity: Is there anything that prohibits you from releasing those videotapes?
Habba: You know why we wouldn't, honestly, Sean? Because the president cares too much about the agents and the enforcement that were just doing their job.
