You can Google, right? The bios are public. The case will be assigned to a panel of three judges, picked at random. There are 11 active judges. The panel could include a judge on senior status or even a district court judge sitting by designation (unlikely). |

Of course it is normal but the circumstances aren’t so I’m glad to see normal. |
All Trump appointees should recuse themselves. |
Why have the democrats did filled the open seat? They should have done it as soon as the case went to Cannon. |
No it looks like the Trumpist judges want to end this and end it quickly. Rumor is they will issue a summary ruling dismissing the case and tell DOJ to return everything to Trump. |
LOL, uh, no, that's not going to happen. |
That’s not how the Senate works. Nancy Abudu deadlocked in Judiciary Committee. Schumer elected to pass nominations that he could rather than hold up dozens of confirmations over one contentious pick who won’t get a single GOP vote if brought to the floor. Biden isn’t going to back down on the nomination. So it sits, for now. |
Uh no. Nancy Abudu didn’t deadlock sh—- The senate republicans deadlocked her. Get it straight. |
“Rumor”? We don’t even know who will sit on the panel. The appeals court is better positioned to kick the case back to Cannon and have her clarify her order. She’s given them a turd in a punchbowl they’re not inclined to deal with and it furthers the interest of delaying an ultimate resolution. It’s hard for the Eleventh Circuit to address the manufactured executive privilege claim, much less for Dearle to do so, absent judicial guidance from Cannon. The same is true with regard to “declassification” and the status of documents, at least 100 of which are marked classified, which are neither personal documents nor presidential records (absent handwritten notations), the only two categories contemplated by Cannon. But it’s hard to predict what will happen in the context of the urgent national security concerns expressed by DOJ. Dismissal of the case is not properly before the appeals court and there’s a negligible chance classified materials get returned to Trump without further classification status review by the intelligence community. |
Feeling better about yourself in trying to note a distinction without difference? |
The motion for stay won’t be heard en banc. |
Quit blaming the left for the issues of the right. |
To be clear, saying that someone or something deadlocked in committee isn’t an assignment of blame. It’s a statement of fact. The Senate is divided 50-50. Abudu received 11 votes in favor of proceeding to the floor with the nomination from Dems and 11 votes against from Reps. People can argue the merits, or lack thereof, of the votes, but the fact is what it is. Have a good day. |
That doesn't necessarily mean they will ignore the rule of law and side with Trump. I mean, Trump appointed the director of the FBI, Christopher Wray, right? And several judges he appointed did not find in his favor in cases of election fraud. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/12/14/most-remarkable-rebukes-trumps-legal-case-judges-he-hand-picked/ |
