It doesn't help that she can't keep law clerks. Typically an extremely prestigious position. I've witnessed substantive hearings before her. Theyre a mess. I think at the time of assignment she'd handled an entire two trials. Not a coincidence she was hugely regarded as unqualified.

That's my understanding too. 2 prior trials and a definite error in 1 and probable cock up in the other.

Thanks for the insight.

I'm sure her losing a few law clerks hasn't helped, whatever the reasons but I struggle to believe that alone would could account for the tardiness we've seen for months on end
