    He has absolutely pushed back on her requests and challenged her decisions. He hasn’t done anything to get her removed yet. That would be filing a motion for recusal based on lack of impartiality.

      From what I’ve heard he only gets one shot at a motion for recusal, so he’s waiting until there’s no chance the recusal will be denied.

      Or so I hope

      This ruling from her may have been the last straw he was waiting for before he files the motion for her to recuse.

      He gets one shot at this, and he better not miss. That’s why he’s waiting until he has the absolute best chance he can have.
