...& if she didn't recuse voluntarily the 11th Circuit would make it happen.

Paraphrasing what a person who worked for years in that Circuit said, the 11th Circuit has already had to rebuke her twice in the proceedings leading up to this case & there's no way they'll allow the case to go forward with the shadow of judicial bias over it, period. The case is too high profile, it would reflect badly on the whole Circuit, & there are plenty of people there with much longer careers, more expertise, & more influence than Cannon & they simply won't allow that kind of nonsense in their Circuit. If the case is assigned to her & Smith requests a different judge he'll get it, the Circuit will make sure of that.

I have no insight or expertise in this, just relaying what was said. To me, it's reassuring.
