The Trump-friendly judge is so obviously putting her thumb on the scales of justice in favor of the ex-president that she might not end up adjudicating the trial at all.

For the last few weeks, the legal and political world had its eyes on the spectacle of an effort to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney

Should Smith ask an appellate court to review Judge Cannon’s rulings, not only is he likely to get those decisions reversed, her actions to delay and attempt to block the effort to bring the former president to justice may end up getting her removed from the case altogether. The case was sent back to Judge Cannon, but the appellate court—made up of three judges nominated by Republican presidents—ordered her to dismiss the case outright. The panel made clear: the case never should have been filed and no relief should have been granted by Judge Cannon.

And that is exactly what might happen if Judge Cannon continues to do what should seem obvious that she is doing to anyone watching this matter: she is putting her thumb on the scale in favor of the defendant over and over again. “The Supreme Court or any other court of appellate jurisdiction may affirm, modify, vacate, set aside or reverse any judgment, decree, or order of a court lawfully brought before it for review.”
