Clerking for a federal court judge is a plum, reserved for the very best newly-trained lawyers. Most judges are demanding, because adjudication is demanding. Any court case involves at a minimum an enormous amount of time and personal (I'd say "psychic", or "spiritual", but those seem too crunchy granola) investment by the litigants, to say nothing of the expense, all of which will inevitably affect all their futures in one way or another. In a case involving national security, it also requires an enormous investment of time and effort on the part of the lawyers and judiciary as well. No wonder this inept, inexperienced judge has had trouble keeping or even hiring clerks; the atmosphere in Chambers must be deadly. Clerking for Cannon would besmirch anyone's reputation and resume, unless they just want to go to work for Kacsmaryk, of course. And because of her ineptitude in this specific case and the effects on her chambers of that ineptitude, to say nothing of her bias, the American people are denied the effective and timely prosecution of a person who is an obvious threat to national security.
Thanks, Lynn, for your “inside” perspective. She sure is making a name for herself and not in a good way unless, perhaps, Project 2025 comes to pass IF that’s her schtick. Can’t really be in another’s head and can only base opinions on one’s words and deeds….IMHO she’s falling short especially for such a critical once-in-a-lifetime (or, so far, a nation’s) case. Like others, perhaps she shall one day write a tell-all book and we can find out, you know, when her words/actions no longer could have any impact.
