As you can see, when the scope of a protective order is disputed, Judge Chutkan typically sets out a reasonable schedule and allows for a defendant to have one week to respond to the government’s proposed protective order. It’s also her standard practice to conduct a hearing on the protective order weeks after it is submitted.

But in Trump’s case, Judge Chutkan trashed her standard practices were discarded. It’s unfair to any defendant – but especially unfair in a case where the terms of the Government’s protective order will prohibit both Trump’s ability to defend himself in public during a presidential campaign and his ability to file “sensitive materials” on the public docket.

You want evidence of bias? There it is.
