A clinical associate professor and former federal prosecutor, Cheryl Bader runs the Criminal Defense Clinic at Fordham Law. She told The AP there could be a case for removing Judge Cannon, and indeed there is precedent.

“I think it would be quite a statement if the Circuit Court removes her from the case, but I think in this instance it would be warranted,” said Cheryl Bader, a Fordham University law school professor and former federal prosecutor. “There does seem to be a pattern of Judge Cannon bending over backwards to create delay and obstacles.”
