The federal judge presiding over Donald Trump's classified documents case on Friday temporarily paused a series of significant pre-trial deadlines pertaining to prosecutors' sharing of sensitive materials that the former president is entitled to while building his defense, The Messenger reports.

U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon authorized a paperless order delaying the deadlines she'd previously set for October 2023 through May 2024, when the trial for Trump and his three co-defendants in the case is scheduled to start in Fort Pierce, Florida.

Maybe we shouldn't be letting a stooge of the guy on trial be in charge of his trial.

She has no business being a judge at all.

Nor does anyone appointed by the criminal.

She's a Heritage Foundation girl through and through.

Federalist Society. The Heritage Foundation is a more general right wing think tank, while the Federalist Society is laser focused on law. The Heritage Found is also far more infected by the Trump virus than the Federalist Society is.

They're shredding judges now? That's gotta be against the geneva convention or something.

Maybe a team of genetically mutated turtles can come and save them.

What a disgrace...

So much "shredding" and "slamming" in the news, and what comes of it? I'd prefer seeing some "firing".

I hope we can legally execute all these traitors someday.
