She hasn't taken anything to heart.  Literally this week she pulled this one. 
>Judge Aileen Cannon, the Trump-appointed federal district court judge overseeing the Justice Department's documents case against the former president, denied the special counsel's motion for a protective order in the case Wednesday because the defense and the prosecution have not conferred sufficiently.

jsvvdqc,155o7i4,"Judge sets Trump classified documents trial for May 2024, months before election","Ugh, I always come around to burst bubbles in these threads and get downvoted, but here I go again.  An appeal would be unlikely.  Typically, something like setting a trial date is administrative in nature and won’t be reversed by an appellate court absent an abuse of discretion, if such an order would be appealable at all, which I doubt.  There are only a handful of interlocutory orders which can be appealed, and even fewer by the prosecution, and I can’t imagine a trial date order is one of them (I don’t have my Federal Rules in front of me).  Even if was, under the aforementioned abuse of discretion standard, this would never be reversed, as the prosecution would have to show that no reasonable person would have ruled the same way.  Plenty of reasonable judges without Judge Canon’s obvious faults would have ruled the same way, likely for the reasons cited by Judge Canon at the hearing, none of which had to do with the election.",69,2023-07-21 16:28:52

jsvgix0,155o7i4,"Judge sets Trump classified documents trial for May 2024, months before election","The GOP's big money donors have been more reluctant this time around. Some were propping up DeSantis, but his crash-and-burn campaign has them fleeing to other hopefuls like Youngkin (who obviously has no shot of beating Trump). As it's becoming more certain each day that Trump is going to win the nomination, it's more likely they will fall in line and start supporting him again. Some might be waiting to see how Trump's legal issues pan out, but there's zero chance it forces him out of the race. He would run his campaign from a prison cell if needed. The only other hope for a non-Trump nominee is betting on him having a major health issue. Again, most of those wouldn't force him out either - it would have to be so bad that they couldn't hide it, like a major stroke or heart attack.

Michigan has just gotten started by arresting 16 people for forgery for trying to change Michigan's electoral votes. 

I think they have a case in AZ but I don't know if they've started investigating it.

Yes, the next time a Republican is POTUS I'm sure they will pardon him for his federal crimes but the state charges are going to stand.  He might drop dead before he's sentenced to any prison time but I firmly believe he will be held accountable.",23,2023-07-21 15:09:13

jsvjycq,155o7i4,"Judge sets Trump classified documents trial for May 2024, months before election","On the surface it's not necessarily a bad decision by Cannon even, but I think Jack Smith will appeal it anyways.

Its funny because Cannon is probably trying to appear as neutral as possible by ""splitting the difference"" here, but by not addressing the elephant in the room I think she not only opens to a challenge to the court date but also to her presiding over the case (but I don't think Smith would challenge her presiding unless she did something more egregious). 

I think the fact that the closer a criminal trial of Trump is to the election the more likely it is that we run into the constitutional crisis of a presidential candidate being elected while in prison- possibly also imprisoned on *state charges* is such an immense Sword of Damocles above the judicial system that I think its worth addressing as an argument in-of-itself to an appellate court. The courts, on principle, should be trying to avoid that reality as hard as possible, to the point where its of such importance to public interest that the prevention of such a situation could potentially stop the dissolution of the Union into a second civil war. 

I'm not sure if there is any better reason you could give a court as to changing its mind relative to public interest. Not to mention I think there are arguments that Smith could obviously make, to Trump's shagrin, that it would probably influence the trial unfairly against Trump as well. Take the issue of finding an unbiased jury- it will become exponentially more difficult to find an unbiased jury the closer and closer we get to the election- and to have the trial 6 months away from the election, meaning that the jury could be making the decision anywhere from 4-5 months from the election on whether or not one of the candidates will go to prison- and that's assuming there are no additional delays. I think there's a strong argument to be made that the trade off of Trump having more time to prepare a defense in exchange for the trial being closer to the election would actually unfairly ***INCREASE*** his chances of being convicted- not the other way around. 

I'm not a lawyer but this has to be at least compelling enough of an argument that I would be very shocked if Smith didn't appeal the decision on these grounds and if he didn't win on the merits of such arguments to at least have the trial date moved up 1-2 months as a buffering measure.",17,2023-07-21 15:16:11

""No. That is not going to happen. Stop trying to make it a thing...""

And its funny that you mention this, because something I didn't think about that almost certainly would happen is that any conviction of Trump is going to the Supreme Court- without question.

How long would it take for the case to get to the Supreme Court and for them to rule on the legality of say, putting a former President in prison at all? After all, how can you protect a former president while also keeping him prison in a penitentery? Should a criminal former president be able to even run from prison? Etc.

There are so many legal questions even if Trump doesn't win that I'm not confident that the Supreme Court could just fast track this in a week. These are some pretty serious questions of Constitutionality that no one has a good answer to because the Constitution just doesn't even mention the possibility or how to account for it. The legal implications would be enormous, so the Supreme Court's answer would have to be very carefully crafted. Trying to imagine getting all of this done in a 6 month time-span without even addressing if he won in prison seems like such an obvious issue.",5,2023-07-21 18:01:50
