    She will be forced to recuse. She was beach slapped for what she did before. That’s not a small deal. The circuit court was very sharp in their criticism of her. If she wasn’t playing favorites on the petty shit, she could have saved trump. She played herself.

    The circuit court will reassign the case if she doesn’t voluntarily recuse. The standard for recusal in the 11th circuit is “will this judge’s prior actions undermine public confidence in the case.” There is already proof that that standard was met with upper courts coming down on her so firmly in their ruling. It seems doubtful that she will still be assigned this case when it goes to trial.
