Isn’t Judge Ryon M. McCabe an Obama appointee? I don’t see an Obama guy being fair to Trump in his lawsuit. Are there no fair judges?

NC; I don't think so. Looks like Judge McCabe was just appointed a magistrate judge this month based on a commitee recommendation.

Due to the appointment of Ryon M. McCabe as United States Magistrate Judge, the Magistrate Judge Pairing Assignment Plan in the Southern District of Florida as set forth in Administrative Orders 2020-45, 2020-45A, 2020-45B, 2020-91, 2021-53 a nd 2022-6 is hereby amended. Accordingly, it is ORDERED that effective this date, the Magistrate Judge Pairings shall be as follows;

Judge McCabe Will be the Magistrate judge for (Cecilia) Altonaga, Williams, and Gayles.

Here is an article regarding Judge Altonaga:

Cecilia M. Altonaga is the chief judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. She joined the court in May 2003 after being nominated by President George W. Bush (R). She became chief judge in 2021. Prior to appointment, Altonaga was a county judge on the 11th ...

The other 2 District Judges, Kathleen Willams and Gayles were both Obama appointees.

I am not a Lawyer, but a Magistrate Judge does the grunt work for their paired District court Judge and and does a preliminary review of cases and complaints before they can be considered for trial. Since 2 of the judges McCabe will review cases for are Obama appointees I would think that the case, if it makes it past the magistrate review, does not have a good chance of being heard by a sympathic judge. Anyone in S. Florida w. more info?
