What SC judge has the 11th Circuit?

If you notice the quotation marks, the article is quoting Florida State Attorney Dave Aronberg. These are not the words of the author of this piece.
That was my thought as well.
Justice Clarence Thomas is the circuit justice for the Eleventh Circuit.
Well that is good news.
Yeah, I noticed. My question: Why did WND hi-light what he said without opposition?
Good reporters report, they do not try to influence the reader. I find it refreshing that some good reporters still exist.
I am not a lawyer, but thought the judges instructions were pretty clear. I only wish she had given the prosecutor a short deadline. It may be a November trial date, but thousands of document to consider.
“My head is spinning because this is sort of an incomprehensible order by Judge Cannon,” Aronberg said. “First off, she’s asking for jury instructions on a case that will not be heard before the November election, and so what is the rush?”
I read the parts of Cannon’s order I could find, and have to agree that it is unusual. But she is getting to the heart of the matter NOW instead of addressing it at the end of the trial. What is really odd is that the Leftists complain that the Judge has stalled to Trump’s advantage, yet now they are incensed because she has cut to the chase.
Cases that depend on “sensitive documents” frequently die when those documents are necessary for the defense to use in open court, but the government thinks they are too sensitive to show. The only recourse is to dismiss the case. There is no “Trump exception” for this.
Smith’s case against Trump depends on two things: 1) whether the documents actually contain critical national security material; and, 2) whether Trump had the authority to take/use documents and memorabilia he possessed at Mar-a-Lago.
Smith has arrogated that the DoJ, a department of the Executive Branch, has the sole power to determine both 1 and 2, on a “Just Trust Us” basis. This denies due process to the Defendant. Cannon is forcing the Prosecutor and Defense to argue these issues now. If the Feds do not agree to let the Defense and jury analyze the purported material, the case can’t be proved, and must be dismissed. If the Feds allege that President Trump had no powers to retain documents when leaving office, they must convince the Judge via arguments and precedents. Ultimately Judges decide how the Law will apply, not jurors and not Special Prosecutors — even illegally appointed ones.
The Lawfare Lefties are rabid because this case will die sooner than they hoped. They will storm over it, and try God-knows what to drag things out.
“Good reporters report, they do not try to influence the reader.”
Then you must be the kind of idiot that loves to listen to Fox top-of-the-hour news cast on the radio.
They will report, emphasize, quote, at length, on some Trump smear/deception —it was, truly, in fact stated by someone, so it was an honest report — but then merely state, briefly, that Trump, or his people, deny it, in a perfunctory, snickering way.
Leftists despise Judge Cannon because she’s the only one who will not subvert the law to destroy an innocent man.
No, I probably stopped watching or listening to Fox before you did. I stopped watching when Tony Snow died, because he was the only good reporter there. I don't really listen to radio either. I used to watch OANN until DirecTV yanked them off. Had it not been for my wife, I would have cancelled DirecTV.

Yes they do, apparently you believe they are good reporters. Because they go beyond the facts to their opinions.
Thanks for driving home my point, even though that was not your intention at all.
“Yes they do, apparently you believe they are good reporters.”
You must be so stupid.
No, I was describing what dishonest Fox reporters are doing to make a point. They are Trump haters, just like that person WND highlighted, without comment, as if it was legitimate opinion on THEIR site. And YOU said that was good reporting.
bttt
Then you accused me of watching Fox, followed by telling me what Fox reporters do. I agreed, that they do indeed do that, & that I haven't watched Fox since Tony Snow passed away, since he was the only true conservative at Fox.
Since you contradicted yourself and trashed me for saying that good reporters report the news and do nothing else.
I was giving you the opportunity of recognizing your mistake, but it flew right over your head.
“Then you accused me of watching Fox....”
I specifically mentioned Fox radio. Said not a word about watching Fox. Do you watch Fox radio? Maybe you do, since you are stupid. Don’t post me again.
I had also stated that I do not listen to radio at all, in my original response to you. Now you are proving that you didn’t read what I said at all.
You stated that I said that you watched Fox when I did not say that.
This is the third or fourth time you have accused me of doing what you did.
Is that you, Hillary?
