He had plenty of cause to file a complaint with Cannon's superiors.
Who had ruled against her before. Cannon was blocking Smith and justice
over and over.

The legal pundits on MSNBC were dumbfounded and mystified why Smith

There are only so many reasons why he would do this.
And none of them good.

I didn't see his courage.
I saw him doing another Merrick Garland.
