I mean, the Judge is a hack Trump appointee.
Consider the Judges in all of Trump's cases. Please tell me they're not hacks (save the Florida Judge).
The only one who is a hack is Cannon and she's not just a hack, she's an astoundingly incompetent jurist.
If you think the NY Judges aren't pathetic partisan hacks, then you have absolutely no idea how Judges in NY are picked. As a former Democratic committeeman who regularly collected petitions for delegates to Judicial conventions, I can assure you that no non-party hack makes it through that process.
