Which illiustrates the utter disregard he showed towards government documents and particularly classified documents.

The judge said she does not believe the government can classify documents. Therefore all the documents are not classified per the judge.

The 11th is totally “conservatives”. They will agree with whatever trumps puts out.

At this point in history, it's very possible. And possible the Supreme Court affirms. I don't think it's hugely likely, but it's possible. I realize all the talking heads will say it's not so, but to my knowledge, the extent of Presidential declassification authority, for classified materials that are not subject to another law or statute, has never been litigated, or even really discussed. There's certainly no statutory procedure, and there's an awful lot of Supreme Court justices that subscribe to the unitary executive theory of the presidency.

Did DOJ challenge Cannon's jurisdiction over the case? Because I would hope that's still ripe for appeal and the higher courts could use that as a get out of jail free card, so to speak.

Trump has not claimed in any court filing that he declassified any of these documents.

Then I don't understand why a special master would review the classified at all.

Gee, wonder why the ABA would consider her "not qualified"?
Only the best people, right MAGA?

They just need to review them first to determine whether they are privileged. Will take like 5 minutes because duh, they are clearly federal records. This is so freaking stupid it’s criminal.

I think the special master will find all the documents are privileged. The judge will make the DOJ give the documents back to trump.

I think what we are seeing with judge cannon ruling is scotus conservatives majority opinion on the subject. She did not write this.

I'm not defending her, but this is simply not true:

https://ballotpedia.org/Aileen_Cannon

I think it's also worth noting that she was confirmed on Nov. 12, 2020, 44 Republicans and 12 Democrats voted in favor, 23 of our vaunted Senators didn't even vote. Her appointment to the federal bench is a bi-partisan failure.

If this judge is considered qualified, then I shudder to think about the ones they deemed unqualified….

No it is a victory for conservatives and the federalist society. How many of these sleeper judges are there? What are their orders and how hi controls them? Why should the DOJ go along with this judge’s crazy rulings?

Yes, they will appeal to the 11th Circuit, which is packed with Trump appointees. We'll see how that goes....

Your link says nothing about ABA.

She went from assistant US Attorney to Federal Judge?????

She's about as qualified as I am (I'm not a lawyer, but I read about the law a lot.)

Yikes. The Federalist Society did a great job implanting their incompetent right-wing zombies on the Federal Bench. God Help America!!!

^^ Sorry, didn't see that. ABA rated her "qualified." Geeze. I should be appointed to a federal judgeship. I'd be better than she is.

Yes, it's a victory for conservatives and the Federalist Society, but not one won on a 51-49 margin. IT WAS HANDED TO THEM. If you are in Virginia, both Warner and Kaine voted to confirm her. I'm planning to write to them and tell them that I object to the confirmation of any federal judge that professes an association with the Federalist Society. I would say I honestly don't understand why that has been tolerated, but in truth I probably understand it all too well.

Also, we need federal judicial reform. Badly. Quickly. Now.

So, both political parties and the media like to conveniently hang their hat on the ABA ratings, but everyone should know that the ABA is a voluntary professional association. It's not a governing body. It has no authority to do anything. Both parties like using its standards when it suits them, but that's about it.
