NEW: When Judge Aileen Cannon drew the Trump classified documents case, two more experienced judges in Florida's southern district—including its chief—urged her to step aside and let someone else take it. She refused. (gift link)

Judge in Trump Documents Case Rejected Suggestions to Step Asidewww.nytimes.com Two federal judges in South Florida privately urged Aileen M. Cannon to decline the case when it was assigned to her last year, according to two people briefed on the matter. She chose to keep it.

Cannon refusing to give the case to another judge is the headline news, but I don't find it particularly troubling - it's how random assignment works. However, the article's mention of her cutting out Magistrate Judge Reinhart is disconcerting - she should be using his experience w/ pretrial stuff.
