"Clearly the judge is rattled by the universal condemnation of her peers and would prefer to kick the can down the road until after the election, hoping that Trump will win and put an end to her ordeal.
But if that doesn’t work out, she seems to be edging her way toward a less obvious jeopardy scenario, albeit while making a token effort to pretend she’s engaged in real law."

@touaregtweet I see that a lot of foreign reporting doesn't really capture the structure of courts in the US, and so don't realize how much control judges commonly have in such cases, don't realize how normal this kind of thing is.
It's all part of the US system's emphasis on checks and balances, preventing the executive branch from having as much ability to throw the book at people.
