If you are discussing the dismissal of the Trump classified document case, I think you are a bit confused.Only two practical options exist:
1) we apparently have a judge that was willing to proceed with a trial on an unconstutional foundation, until Trump's lawyers brought this to her attention. If her decision is valid.
2) we have a judge making wildly anomalous decisions that show bias to one party
Which makes her, AT BEST, incompetent and not appropriate for handling such an important trial.
Judge Cannon who was appointed by Trump has delayed the trial for six months by failing to act on motions by the prosecution and the defense. When the high court ruled that Trump hade some immunity from prosecution for some actions in office, Cannon delayed the trial further to consider if the high court ruling effected this case The prosecution pointed out that the charges in the case were based on Trump ‘s actions after leaving office.
It was then that Cannon decided the procedure used to appoint Smith and every special counsel over the last 50 years was unconstitutional and dismissed the charges.
What she should have done is to put the case on hold and ask the DOJ to resolve the issue so the case could be brought to trial. Apparently her loyalty to Trump outweighed her duty as a federal judge.
