The ruling from U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon is at least a modest victory for special counsel Jack Smith’s team, which had vigorously rejected efforts to push off the trial beyond its scheduled start date of May 20, 2024.

      You know how many cases she’d adjudicated before this one? Eight. She should be disqualified based on gross inexperience for such an important and historic case.
