Topics
Andrew Weissmann: 本期节目讨论了佛罗里达州法官坎农在对特朗普案件的审理中存在的诸多不必要拖延，Weissmann认为这些拖延反映了坎农法官经验不足和可能存在的偏见。他详细分析了坎农法官在特别检察官任命合法性、拨款问题、证据压制等问题上的听证会，指出这些听证会存在程序冗余和缺乏效率的问题。Weissmann还特别强调了对政府不利证据的压制裁决是可以上诉的，这使得对法官Cannon今天关于证据压制的听证会至关重要。此外，Weissmann还分析了特别检察官的独立性和受监督程度，认为坎农法官对特别检察官独立性的理解存在偏差，并预测坎农法官为了避免上诉，可能会做出对政府有利的裁决。 Mary McCord: McCord在节目中与Weissmann共同探讨了法官坎农在处理特朗普案件中表现出的经验不足和潜在偏见。她对政府在修改特朗普保释条件听证会上遇到的困难进行了分析，指出法官坎农对特朗普言论限制的质疑，以及对因果关系的过分强调。McCord还深入解释了法律与规章的区别，并详细阐述了特别检察官的独立性和监督机制，强调总检察长对特别检察官的决定拥有否决权，但需要向国会报告。此外，McCord还分析了曼哈顿地区检察官维持对陪审员和法庭工作人员的gag order的决定，并对最高法院可能做出的裁决进行了预测，以及对总统豁免权范围的界定将如何影响法官Chutkan对案件的处理。
