Your Seat Awaits, Judge Cannon
Just seven days after Trump lost the 2020 election to President Joe Biden, the Senate rammed through Judge Aileen Cannona Federalist Society loyalistto the federal bench, again via the nuclear option. The seat? It would later oversee Trumps classified documents case.
Think about that. Before he even walked out of the White House with stolen materials and a failed insurrection attempt, Donald Trump had already secured the judge who would protect him. He wasn't just breaking the lawhe was fortifying his legal escape route in advance, with an assist from Senate Republicans.
By mid-2022, Judge Cannon was the only active judge in Floridas Fort Pierce division. Trumps legal team took full advantage, filing his case in personin violation of standard protocolwhich all but guaranteed it would land on her desk. That week, Cannon was assigned 9 of 29 new casesover 30%, nearly triple the norm. Despite calls for recusal, she refused. She stayed. And she stalled.

OP
Can't this ruling be appealed? Judge Cannon is a Trump lackee and, I believe, would have her decision overturned

She was always Trump's political lackey, using her "inexperience" to create obstacles
