No judge wants to be the reason Trump is granted a mistrial. It sucks that he's able to game the legal system, but a good judge is required to operate within the boundaries of the law and the law allows for frequent delays.

On the bright side, he's running out of lawyers good enough to craft reasonable excuses for repeated delays.

I'm so looking forward to this chapter in American history being done with.

Thanks, GOP.

On the downer side, the number of judges willingly to grand repeated delays without needing reasonable excuses is pretty large, ala Aileen Cannon

  1. Pleadings

  2. Discovery

  3. Trial

  4. Appeal
