As part of an analysis of how U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida Judge Aileen Cannon, reports from her courtroom show a judge who is both “prickly” and" insecure" and often has trouble understanding what lawyers from both sides try to explain to her.

The controversial Cannon – who has been accused of slow-walking Donald Trump’s obstruction of justice trial related to his alleged illegal retention of government documents – in recent hearings has pressed lawyers to remake their points over and over, which led to the New York Times’ Alan Feuer to question whether, “she does not understand the answers she is receiving or is trying to push back against them.”

“Only the best,” am I right?

She needs to stop being a judge. She is supremely unqualified and has a clear political agenda.

Please don’t use the word supreme anywhere near a description of Cannon.

Does

Aileen Cannon is supremely deserving of being appointed to the highest (lit.) court by being fired out of a cannon into the sun.

Fit your favor better?

Love the sentiment. Still concerned about tempting fate with that adverb though.

Any time anyone says “shoot X into the sun” I can’t help but think of how much energy it actually takes to do so. You have to shed all momentum from the orbit to actually go into free fall.

She’s only unqualified because you think that she should be fair and experienced. Neither of those attributes are desirable for trump, which is why he put her in that seat.
