I agree with you, Barbara, that it's a good thing to review alternate points of view. Nonetheless, regardless of how overworked and/or inexperienced Cannon may be, her opinions and rulings in both cases have been way off mark. It doesn't matter to me if her problem is bias, stress, or incompetence; she ought to be taken off this current case and, imho, removed from the bench permanently.

Lauren, I was recently listing to NPR whilst driving on errands & the subject matter was “management” positions. My takeaway (and that I have experienced in my working life) some folks really DO have the chops to do it well, and others, as the Peter Principle posits, rise to the level of their incompetency. She sure does seem way way way over her head & for that I have some sympathy. IF she realizes this, IMHO, she should seek wise counsel on how to step up or to step away, unless personal hubris is playing a role. Some folks are thrown in the deep end unprepared (think Zelensky) and rise to, even surpass, the occasion….others, like TFFG, it just amplifies their lack of fitness (or, indeed, profound harm) for the role.
