How an AP story about Judge Cannon slowing everything down for the defendant who appointed her became mired in the passive voice.

@nycsouthpaw When she's not actually doing things such as setting a trial date or ruling on motions, passive seems oddly appropriate.
@nycsouthpaw I don’t know much about federal judicial politics, but what do you make of Cannon sitting on the 11th by designation?
@nycsouthpaw This stuff just seems to happen all by itself!
@nycsouthpaw Can the press take a week off from the passive voice and see how different the news looks when responsibility no longer falls randomly from the sky?
@nycsouthpaw The defendant who appointed her, which is absolutely the case. How is this allowed? And to think that Rehnquist withdrew from the Nixon case for the same reason. It was a given — there was no issue there. But now?
@nycsouthpaw Who is a Judge like her accountable to? Is there any accountability? What would prompt it?
