The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Dope1: Oh, and the trial date is 100% politically motivated. By May most of the primaries are done and if he wins, Trump will be campaigning from Mar-a-Lago's basement.

Which is what the left wants.


Is this Krazy Stupid Nonsense Day?

Cannon, a lifelong republican, was nominated by former president Trump to serve as a United States district judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida and received her commission on November 13, 2020, about two months before Trump left office.

On August 22, 2022, in Trump v. United States, Trump asked for and was granted a special master to review materials seized during the FBI search of Mar-a-Lago and Cannon ordered the Justice Department to stop using the seized material in its investigation until the special master's review is complete or until a further court order.

Cannon sided with Trump.

The Justice Department appealed to Cannon to allow their investigation into seized classified-marked documents to continue, and to exempt such documents from the special master's review,

Cannon again sided with Trump.

The Eleventh Circuit stayed portions of Cannon's ruling.

Cannon then overruled procedures proposed by the special master she appointed.

Cannon agreed with Trump's legal team on multiple issues, and set procedures including extending the deadline for the review.

The Eleventh Circuit stepped in again to rule against Cannon.

Long story short, Cannon repeatedly sided with Trump and was repeatedly overturned by the Eleventh Circuit on appeal.

And while the May date is set, the New York trial date set for March of 2024 should be postponed and the more serious federal case should go first.
