• Wisconsin Judge Arrested for Obstruction for Helping Illegal Alien Esca

    From BTR1701@21:1/5 to All on Sat Apr 26 19:11:07 2025
    The FBI arrested a state judge in Wisconsin on obstruction charges after she helped a wife-beating illegal alien escape the courthouse when ICE showed up
    to arrest him.

    There must be snowdrifts in hell today. I never thought I'd see the day when these activist judges were held to account. So satisfying seeing this judge
    led out of her own courthouse in handcuffs.

    The illegal was in state court facing charges for having put his wife in the hospital for the second time. Imagine being the victim, sitting in court, and watching the judge in your case help your abuser escape arrest.

    Of course, Congressional Democrats who, upon hearing the story, immediately proceeded to decry the "increasingly lawless actions" of the Trump administration without the slightest hint of irony or hypocrisy. Amy Klobuchar breathlessly declared that this is a "constitutional crisis".

    I had no idea the Constitution required us to allow judges to break the law
    and that stopping them from doing so puts the whole system in crisis.

    A Milwaukee County Circuit judge was arrested by the FBI Friday and charged in federal court for allegedly helping an undocumented immigrant avoid arrest.

    Judge Hannah Dugan is facing two charges for obstruction and concealing the individual from arrest. She made an initial appearance in court and was released.

    The arrest on federal charges is an escalation in the Trump administration’s focus on judges' conduct, particularly as it relates to immigration enforcement. The Justice Department has repeatedly asserted that it will investigate any local officials who interfere with federal authorities on immigration matters.

    "We believe Judge Dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents away from the subject to be arrested in her courthouse, Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, allowing the subject-- an illegal alien-- to evade arrest," FBI Director Kash Patel said on X in a post Friday morning. "Thankfully our agents chased down the perp on
    foot and he's been in custody since, but the judge's obstruction created increased danger to the public."

    In court on Friday, Dugan's attorney said that "Judge Dugan wholeheartedly regrets and protests her arrest. It was not made in the interest of public safety," according to the AP.

    In charging documents, investigators said that plainclothes federal agents
    went to Dugan's courtroom on April 18 with the intention of arresting Flores-Ruiz. A Mexican immigrant, Flores-Ruiz had been removed from the United States in 2013, but immigration officials learned he was back in the country illegally because of his arrest in a local domestic abuse case.

    After being informed of the agents' presence by her courtroom deputy, the
    judge "became visibly angry, commented that the situation was 'absurd', left the bench, and entered chambers," court documents say. Witnesses told investigators that Dugan confronted the federal agents in a public hallway, where she repeatedly demanded they leave, saying they needed a different kind of warrant to make the arrest. Dugan ordered the agents to speak with the
    chief judge of the courthouse.

    Several witnesses-- including Dugan's courtroom deputy and both the prosecutor and the Victim Witness Specialist on Flores-Ruiz’s case-- allegedly recounted seeing Dugan then direct Flores-Ruiz and his attorney to leave through a "jury door", which leads to a non-public area of the courthouse, court documents
    say.

    One of the witnesses told investigators that Dugan stopped the two as they tried to exit through the normal door to the courtroom, saying something to
    the effect of "Wait, come with me".

    Flores-Ruiz and his attorney quickly exited the courthouse before the agents were able to catch up to them, investigators say. Agents found Flores-Ruiz outside the courthouse and identified themselves. He took off running but was eventually captured.

    CNN has reached out to Flores-Ruiz's attorney for comment. Flores-Ruiz has not yet entered a plea to federal charges related to his efforts to evade arrest and is being detained, according to his court record. This is a separate case from the charges against Dugan.

    Attorney General Pam Bondi said in an interview on Fox News after the arrest was executed that "If you are destroying evidence and you are obstructing justice, when you have victims of domestic violence sitting in a courtroom and you are escorting the criminal defendant out the back door, it will not be tolerated. I think some of these judges think they are beyond and above the law, and they are not."

    Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, similarly said in a post on X that "Nobody should be surprised by the arrest of two judges." The second judge he is referring to is former magistrate judge Joel Cano, who is charged with harboring three alleged illegal alien gang members on his property.

    "If you actively impede our enforcement efforts or if you knowingly harbor or conceal illegal aliens from ICE, you will be prosecuted," Homan said.

    I was going to post about this the other day but I've had a lot of
    trouble finding reporting that went beyond the legal filings. What I get
    is that no one in the courthouse was enthusiastically cooperating with
    ICE. She was told they were coming for him by a court clerk. She
    consulted with the chief judge who didn't want him taken into custody in
    a courtroom but in a public part of the courthouse. She led the man and
    his attorney into a nonpublic hallway used for jurors and defendants in custody, I hope not at the same time. They got outside the building. The
    man tried to run but ICE tackled him.

    This is all from the court filing. I haven't found any reporting.

    No reporter has interviewed witnesses. This is ridiculous.

    I'm truly flabbergasted that the man's own attorney didn't attempt to
    arrange a peaceful surrender, like have his client wait in an interview
    room to be taken into custody.

    I've been seeing multiple reports from multiple locations that ICE
    agents are "staking out" courthouses in plain clothes wearing masks.
    From what I've read about this incident and others like it I suspect
    the defendant's attorney couldn't have arranged a peaceful surrender
    because he/she didn't know about it and there likely weren't any
    uniformed ICE agents _to_ surrender to.

    Yes, that's called police work. You go where the criminals are. Arresting people at courthouses for other crimes is a routine and common occurrence. It only suddenly becomes outrageous for some reason when it's illegal aliens.

    It's actually a lot safer for both the cops and the illegals than getting warrants and kicking in doors to people's homes. And when the state, through its non-cooperation, forces them to go into neighborhoods looking for these people, the likelihood that they're going to find *other* illegals not on
    their list is very high.

    So if you really cared about the safety of the "illegal community" and want to minimize both the physical danger and the danger of deportations, then
    refusing to hand over these scumbags at jails and courthouses and forcing ICE to go look for them in homes and apartments is the last thing you would do.

    Warrant? ICE doesn't serve warrants on aliens subject to removal.

    Courtroom? At no time had they entered the courtroom during court.

    Why is moviePig making shit up?

    He was removed in 2013. Do they need another removal order now?

    A Milwaukee County Circuit judge was arrested by the FBI Friday and charged in
    federal court for allegedly helping an undocumented immigrant avoid arrest.

    Judge Hannah Dugan is facing two charges for obstruction and concealing the individual from arrest. She made an initial appearance in court and was released.

    The arrest on federal charges is an escalation in the Trump administration’s
    focus on judges' conduct, particularly as it relates to immigration enforcement. The Justice Department has repeatedly asserted that it will investigate any local officials who interfere with federal authorities on immigration matters.

    "We believe Judge Dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents away from the
    subject to be arrested in her courthouse, Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, allowing the subject-- an illegal alien-- to evade arrest," FBI Director Kash Patel said on
    X in a post Friday morning. "Thankfully our agents chased down the perp on foot and he's been in custody since, but the judge's obstruction created increased danger to the public."

    In court on Friday, Dugan's attorney said that "Judge Dugan wholeheartedly regrets and protests her arrest. It was not made in the interest of public safety," according to the AP.

    In charging documents, investigators said that plainclothes federal agents went to Dugan's courtroom on April 18 with the intention of arresting Flores-Ruiz. A Mexican immigrant, Flores-Ruiz had been removed from the United
    States in 2013, but immigration officials learned he was back in the country illegally because of his arrest in a local domestic abuse case.

    After being informed of the agents' presence by her courtroom deputy, the judge "became visibly angry, commented that the situation was 'absurd', left the bench, and entered chambers," court documents say. Witnesses told investigators that Dugan confronted the federal agents in a public hallway, where she repeatedly demanded they leave, saying they needed a different kind of warrant to make the arrest. Dugan ordered the agents to speak with the chief judge of the courthouse.

    Several witnesses-- including Dugan's courtroom deputy and both the prosecutor
    and the Victim Witness Specialist on Flores-Ruiz’s case-- allegedly recounted
    seeing Dugan then direct Flores-Ruiz and his attorney to leave through a "jury
    door", which leads to a non-public area of the courthouse, court documents say.

    One of the witnesses told investigators that Dugan stopped the two as they tried to exit through the normal door to the courtroom, saying something to the effect of "Wait, come with me".

    Flores-Ruiz and his attorney quickly exited the courthouse before the agents were able to catch up to them, investigators say. Agents found Flores-Ruiz outside the courthouse and identified themselves. He took off running but was eventually captured.

    CNN has reached out to Flores-Ruiz's attorney for comment. Flores-Ruiz has not
    yet entered a plea to federal charges related to his efforts to evade arrest and is being detained, according to his court record. This is a separate case from the charges against Dugan.

    Attorney General Pam Bondi said in an interview on Fox News after the arrest was executed that "If you are destroying evidence and you are obstructing justice, when you have victims of domestic violence sitting in a courtroom and
    you are escorting the criminal defendant out the back door, it will not be tolerated. I think some of these judges think they are beyond and above the law, and they are not."

    Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, similarly said in a post on X that "Nobody should be surprised by the arrest of two judges." The second judge he is referring to is former magistrate judge Joel Cano, who is charged with harboring three alleged illegal alien gang members on his property.

    "If you actively impede our enforcement efforts or if you knowingly harbor or conceal illegal aliens from ICE, you will be prosecuted," Homan said.

    I was going to post about this the other day but I've had a lot of
    trouble finding reporting that went beyond the legal filings. What I get
    is that no one in the courthouse was enthusiastically cooperating with
    ICE. She was told they were coming for him by a court clerk. She
    consulted with the chief judge who didn't want him taken into custody in
    a courtroom but in a public part of the courthouse. She led the man and
    his attorney into a nonpublic hallway used for jurors and defendants in >custody, I hope not at the same time. They got outside the building. The
    man tried to run but ICE tackled him.

    This is all from the court filing. I haven't found any reporting.


    Of course not. The media gives judges and Democrats a pass on
    everything.

    No reporter has interviewed witnesses. This is ridiculous.

    I'm truly flabbergasted that the man's own attorney didn't attempt to

    The arrest on federal charges is an escalation in the Trump administrations >> focus on judges' conduct, particularly as it relates to immigration

    immigration matters.

    "We believe Judge Dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents away from the

    Given the judge's lawless behavior, why do you automatically assume she was
    telling the truth about the warrant rather than dissembling as yet another
    tactic to give the illegal time to escape?

    Wasn't her behavior lawful if the warrant was invalid

    No.

    Why not? Without a valid warrant, what gives them more rights than you?


    Why do you automatically assume
    she'd invite (at least) censure in order to abet a serial wife-beater?

    Because she's a leftist open-borders lunatic.

    Oh, I see. Hmm, I wonder why the article didn't mention that.

    So, this whole action was all about taking down a known "activist"...

    A Milwaukee County Circuit judge was arrested by the FBI Friday and >>>>>> charged
    in
    federal court for allegedly helping an undocumented immigrant avoid >>>>>> arrest.

    Judge Hannah Dugan is facing two charges for obstruction and concealing
    the
    individual from arrest. She made an initial appearance in court and was
    released.

    The arrest on federal charges is an escalation in the Trump
    administration’s
    focus on judges' conduct, particularly as it relates to immigration >>>>>> enforcement. The Justice Department has repeatedly asserted that it will
    investigate any local officials who interfere with federal
    authorities on
    immigration matters.

    "We believe Judge Dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents >>>>>> away from
    the
    subject to be arrested in her courthouse, Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, allowing
    the
    subject-- an illegal alien-- to evade arrest," FBI Director Kash Patel
    said
    on
    X in a post Friday morning. "Thankfully our agents chased down the >>>>>> perp on
    foot and he's been in custody since, but the judge's obstruction created
    increased danger to the public."

    In court on Friday, Dugan's attorney said that "Judge Dugan
    wholeheartedly
    regrets and protests her arrest. It was not made in the interest of >>>>>> public
    safety," according to the AP.

    In charging documents, investigators said that plainclothes federal >>>>>> agents
    went to Dugan's courtroom on April 18 with the intention of arresting
    Flores-Ruiz. A Mexican immigrant, Flores-Ruiz had been removed from the
    United
    States in 2013, but immigration officials learned he was back in the
    country
    illegally because of his arrest in a local domestic abuse case. >>>>>>
    After being informed of the agents' presence by her courtroom >>>>>> deputy, the
    judge "became visibly angry, commented that the situation was 'absurd',
    left
    the bench, and entered chambers," court documents say. Witnesses told
    investigators that Dugan confronted the federal agents in a public >>>>>> hallway,
    where she repeatedly demanded they leave, saying they needed a different
    kind
    of warrant to make the arrest. Dugan ordered the agents to speak >>>>>> with the
    chief judge of the courthouse.

    Several witnesses-- including Dugan's courtroom deputy and both the >>>>>> prosecutor
    and the Victim Witness Specialist on Flores-Ruiz’s case-- allegedly
    recounted
    seeing Dugan then direct Flores-Ruiz and his attorney to leave through a
    "jury
    door", which leads to a non-public area of the courthouse, court >>>>>> documents
    say.

    One of the witnesses told investigators that Dugan stopped the two >>>>>> as they
    tried to exit through the normal door to the courtroom, saying >>>>>> something to
    the effect of "Wait, come with me".

    Flores-Ruiz and his attorney quickly exited the courthouse before the
    agents
    were able to catch up to them, investigators say. Agents found >>>>>> Flores-Ruiz
    outside the courthouse and identified themselves. He took off >>>>>> running but
    was
    eventually captured.

    CNN has reached out to Flores-Ruiz's attorney for comment.
    Flores-Ruiz has
    not
    yet entered a plea to federal charges related to his efforts to evade
    arrest
    and is being detained, according to his court record. This is a separate
    case
    from the charges against Dugan.

    Attorney General Pam Bondi said in an interview on Fox News after the
    arrest
    was executed that "If you are destroying evidence and you are >>>>>> obstructing
    justice, when you have victims of domestic violence sitting in a >>>>>> courtroom
    and
    you are escorting the criminal defendant out the back door, it will >>>>>> not be
    tolerated. I think some of these judges think they are beyond and above
    the
    law, and they are not."

    Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, similarly said in a post on X that >>>>>> "Nobody
    should be surprised by the arrest of two judges." The second judge he is
    referring to is former magistrate judge Joel Cano, who is charged with
    harboring three alleged illegal alien gang members on his property. >>>>>>
    "If you actively impede our enforcement efforts or if you knowingly >>>>>> harbor
    or
    conceal illegal aliens from ICE, you will be prosecuted," Homan said.

    If the agents' warrant, and thus their right to be in her courtroom, was
    invalid, then what should she have done ...salute?

    Given the judge's lawless behavior, why do you automatically assume she >>>> was
    telling the truth about the warrant rather than dissembling as yet another
    tactic to give the illegal time to escape?

    Wasn't her behavior lawful if the warrant was invalid

    No.

    Why not? Without a valid warrant, what gives them more rights than you?

    She actively aided and abetted their escape from the courthouse. And even the judge didn't claim the warrant wasn't valid, just that it should have been on
    a different form.

    Why do you automatically assume
    she'd invite (at least) censure in order to abet a serial wife-beater?

    Because she's a leftist open-borders lunatic.

    Oh, I see. Hmm, I wonder why the article didn't mention that.

    All you have to do is research her.

    So, this whole action was all about taking down a known "activist"...

    She took herself down. Nothing would have happened to her had she not obstructed ICE.

    Exactly. She's a state court judge, not a federal judge, so unless ICE was trying to hook him up *in* her courtroom, the whole thing was none of her goddam business from the start.

    Why would ICE have used a warrant at all? This disagreement makes no

    A friend of a friend was travelling in the USA and got stopped by the
    highway patrol for doing 56 in a 55 mph zone. He got a ticket for it. Ironically, Steve was a police officer at the time although obviously off-duty and out of uniform. I asked him about "professional courtesy",
    where LEOs give each other breaks for small indiscretions but he didn't answer directly. I got the impression it would never have occurred to
    him to ask.

    I always identified myself and if the cop asked why that would matter, I'd
    say, "Because I have a loaded handgun on my hip and for your safety and mine,
    I wanted to make you aware of it and the reason why I'm authorized to have
    it."

    Not much they could say to counter that. Cops use "officer safety" on the public at every turn. They can't very well claim officer safety suddenly doesn't matter when it's inconvenient for them.

    It's a valid way of putting it out there that you're a cop without directly suggesting you want special treatment. If you get off with a warning or a
    "have a nice day", great. If not, oh well.

    By contrast, one of our Supreme Court justices got into a bit of a

    not saying it was anim and I'm not saying that it wasn't....) He
    insisted he had done no wrong but the optics were not deemed good for
    him or the Supreme Court so he soon resigned from the court!

    If Judge Dugan had similar standards, she'd have resigned long ago
    rather than using her job to aid her "activism".

    He's a foreign national from El Salvador covered in MS-13 tattoos who entered the country illegally. The fact that he may have ended up in Maryland while evading law enforcement does not make him a "Maryland man". But that's how the media describes him because they're not biased at all.

    And I'd take that story with a snifter of salt. People often put
    blame on misleading things for their troubles.

    "I got ticketed for driving 31 in a 30 mph zone!"

    "but you were going 50!"

    "yeah, but the cop didn't see it."

    or

    "I was busted for having a broken taillight!"

    "but the arrest report says drunk driving."

    "so how was he supposed to know?"

    Ironically, Steve was a police officer at the time although obviously

    Maybe he was driving 56 kph in a 55 mph zone? I wish
    more dangerously slow drivers in the fast line were
    stopped, the fast lane around here has been getting pretty
    slow the last few years with below 10-15 mph drivers.
    There's been better driving on the highway than in-city.

    Or was that 56 mph in a 55 kph zone? Last I saw
    Canada has tricky speed limit signs, they don't say "kph"
    on them, kind of like how Oregon doesn't say "mph".
    How are you supposed to know?

    It's a valid way of putting it out there that you're a cop without directly suggesting you want special treatment. If you get off with a warning or a "have a nice day", great. If not, oh well.

    You just made the statement that it's more important to beat wives
    than to interfere with illegal immigration.

    Or are you suggesting it is only illegal immigrants that are
    justified in beating wives, not wife beating in general, but
    what about equal rights? If it's good for non-whites to beat their
    wives wouldn't it also be good for whites to beat their wives?

    Maybe you feel that wife-beating is a "white" issue so only
    White Supremacists are opposed to wife-beating, and non-white
    wives should enjoy being beaten, at least as long as they are
    not interfering with illegal immigration?

    But you ought to think this over and be a little more sympathetic
    to the victims, from what I glean from the article, the beaten wife
    actually considers being beaten to be worse than upholding the
    unofficial open border doctrine.

    So the department is making you do so. It still sounds like
    asking a favor. It just doesn't seem like good policy for
    a plains clothes man to tell someone that he is an officer
    and armed. Wouldn't the cop want to verify that you are
    who you're claiming to be?

    What if the cop doing the pulling over is a crook?
    It'd be a missed opportunity to identify a crook
    if he thought you were an easy target.

    I am a great fan of police work involving undercover
    cops acting weak and ignorant to attract robbers,
    con artists, gangsters, rapists etc., and capturing such,
    and it's a sorry ideathis isn't done more often.

    A Milwaukee County Circuit judge was arrested by the FBI Friday and charged in
    federal court for allegedly helping an undocumented immigrant avoid arrest.

    Judge Hannah Dugan is facing two charges for obstruction and concealing the

    Evasion noted.

    Are you attempting to the defend the judge or do you believe it was
    correct to arrest the judge for BREAKING THE LAW?

    This is a yes or no question.

    Judge Hannah Dugan is facing two charges for obstruction and concealing

    released.

    Given the judge's lawless behavior, why do you automatically assume she was
    telling the truth about the warrant rather than dissembling as yet another
    tactic to give the illegal time to escape?

    Wasn't her behavior lawful if the warrant was invalid

    No.

    Why not? Without a valid warrant, what gives them more rights than you?

    Show us the warrant was invald before you proceed with this course of
    "logic".

    THEN

    Explain why you don't have a problem with an "impartial" judge let a
    person, who is currently on trial, essentially telling the accused to
    "take off" and she won't make him stand trial.



    Why do you automatically assume
    she'd invite (at least) censure in order to abet a serial wife-beater?

    Because she's a leftist open-borders lunatic.

    Oh, I see. Hmm, I wonder why the article didn't mention that.

    Actions always speak louder than words.


    So, this whole action was all about taking down a known "activist"...

    No, it is about arresting a judge who broke the law by letting an
    accused criminal loose from her court.

    Toss her in jail and throw away the key. When judges pick and choose
    the laws they will follow while dictating laws for everyone else, we
    are officially in a Constitutional crisis.

    But would you want a system giving judges no discretion whatsoever?


    Judges do not have discretion to break the law.

    What is wrong with you?

      No.

    Why not? Without a valid warrant, what gives them more rights than you?

    She actively aided and abetted their escape from the courthouse. And
    even the
    judge didn't claim the warrant wasn't valid, just that it should have
    been on
    a different form.

    That sounds like a distinction without a difference.  What requirement
    of "form" could go unmet without attenuating a warrant's validity?


        Why do you automatically assume
      she'd invite (at least) censure in order to abet a serial wife-
    beater?
      Because she's a leftist open-borders lunatic.

    Oh, I see.  Hmm, I wonder why the article didn't mention that.

    All you have to do is research her.

    So, this whole action was all about taking down a known "activist"...

    She took herself down. Nothing would have happened to her had she not
    obstructed ICE.

    Ah, so she's guilty of past thought-crimes.  Even then, it's hard to
    picture a female judge so dedicated to razing borders that she'd free a serial wife-beater.  Not impossible, just unrealistic...


    You "progressives" have no trouble in championing one cause at the
    expense of people you're also supposed to champion. For example, you'd
    think that "progressives" would be opposed to FGM (female genital
    mutilation) as an affront to feminism and human rights but, instead, you declare it to be a cultural matter and therefore exempt from criticism. ("Progressives" apparently seek to ally with Muslims against their
    enemies so give them a pass on FGM.)

    Giving a wife-beater a pass to further the cause of defending Open
    Borders seems a very similar sort of strategic decision to me.

    Absolutely, I'd want to take 100% of that 'discretion' away from them.

    Just imagine everyone who went 1 mph over the speed limit or who
    jay-walked getting a ticket or even jail time if they are a repeat offender!

    Just so long as the cops themselves are held to the same standard.


    A friend of a friend was travelling in the USA and got stopped by the
    highway patrol for doing 56 in a 55 mph zone. He got a ticket for it.
    Ironically, Steve was a police officer at the time although obviously
    off-duty and out of uniform. I asked him about "professional courtesy",
    where LEOs give each other breaks for small indiscretions but he didn't
    answer directly. I got the impression it would never have occurred to
    him to ask.

    I always identified myself and if the cop asked why that would matter, I'd say, "Because I have a loaded handgun on my hip and for your safety and mine, I wanted to make you aware of it and the reason why I'm authorized to have it."

    Good on you for giving them that heads-up. Mind you, you've also given
    me a flashback to a video I saw a few years back where a black guy got
    stopped and he warned the officer at the window that he had a gun in the glovebox (or maybe under the seat). The officer immediately panicked,
    screamed "Gun gun gun!" and shot the black guy dead (as I remember it).
    I believe the black man was Philando Castile. This video spooked the
    crap out of me - and still does. Castile was NOT threatening the
    officer, had a carry permit, and was warning the cop just to avoid any misunderstanding and he STILL wound up dead.

    Not much they could say to counter that. Cops use "officer safety" on the public at every turn. They can't very well claim officer safety suddenly doesn't matter when it's inconvenient for them.

    It's a valid way of putting it out there that you're a cop without directly suggesting you want special treatment. If you get off with a warning or a "have a nice day", great. If not, oh well.


    Did you ever get a break in those incidents? Just curious.

    She actively aided and abetted their escape from the courthouse. And
    even the
    judge didn't claim the warrant wasn't valid, just that it should have
    been on
    a different form.

    That sounds like a distinction without a difference.  What requirement
    of "form" could go unmet without attenuating a warrant's validity?


        Why do you automatically assume
      she'd invite (at least) censure in order to abet a serial wife- >>>>>> beater?
      Because she's a leftist open-borders lunatic.

    Oh, I see.  Hmm, I wonder why the article didn't mention that.

    All you have to do is research her.

    So, this whole action was all about taking down a known "activist"...

    She took herself down. Nothing would have happened to her had she not
    obstructed ICE.

    Ah, so she's guilty of past thought-crimes.  Even then, it's hard to
    picture a female judge so dedicated to razing borders that she'd free
    a serial wife-beater.  Not impossible, just unrealistic...


    You "progressives" have no trouble in championing one cause at the
    expense of people you're also supposed to champion. For example, you'd
    think that "progressives" would be opposed to FGM (female genital
    mutilation) as an affront to feminism and human rights but, instead, you declare it to be a cultural matter and therefore exempt from criticism. ("Progressives" apparently seek to ally with Muslims against their
    enemies so give them a pass on FGM.)

    Giving a wife-beater a pass to further the cause of defending Open
    Borders seems a very similar sort of strategic decision to me.

    Ah, so *you* can imagine it. I can't ...and suspect there's more to it.

    Show us the warrant was invalid before you proceed with this course of "logic".

    Hmm, I think there was a judge who said it was improper...


    THEN

    Explain why you don't have a problem with an "impartial" judge let a
    person, who is currently on trial, essentially telling the accused to
    "take off" and she won't make him stand trial.

    Oh... did she say "and don't come back"?


    Why do you automatically assume
    she'd invite (at least) censure in order to abet a serial wife-beater?

    Because she's a leftist open-borders lunatic.

    Oh, I see. Hmm, I wonder why the article didn't mention that.

    Actions always speak louder than words.

    And both afford ample opportunity for (mis)interpretation.


    So, this whole action was all about taking down a known "activist"...

    No, it is about arresting a judge who broke the law by letting an
    accused criminal loose from her court.

    Yes. 'Accused' is different from 'convicted', you see...

    Wait, so you just defended a judge breaking federal law????

    Umm, I asked a question. Sorry if you found it defensive/offensive...


    Evasion noted.

    Are you attempting to the defend the judge or do you believe it was

    This is a yes or no question.

    Umm, "breaking the law" *is* what's in question.

    --------------------------------

    https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/04/25/politics/fbi-director-wisconsin-judge-arrested

    A Milwaukee County Circuit judge was arrested by the FBI Friday and charged in
    federal court for allegedly helping an undocumented immigrant avoid arrest.

    Judge Hannah Dugan is facing two charges for obstruction and concealing the
    individual from arrest. She made an initial appearance in court and was >>>> released.

    The arrest on federal charges is an escalation in the Trump administration’s
    focus on judges' conduct, particularly as it relates to immigration
    enforcement. The Justice Department has repeatedly asserted that it will >>>> investigate any local officials who interfere with federal authorities on >>>> immigration matters.

    "We believe Judge Dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents away from the
    subject to be arrested in her courthouse, Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, allowing the
    subject-- an illegal alien-- to evade arrest," FBI Director Kash Patel said on
    X in a post Friday morning. "Thankfully our agents chased down the perp on >>>> foot and he's been in custody since, but the judge's obstruction created >>>> increased danger to the public."

    In court on Friday, Dugan's attorney said that "Judge Dugan wholeheartedly >>>> regrets and protests her arrest. It was not made in the interest of public >>>> safety," according to the AP.

    In charging documents, investigators said that plainclothes federal agents >>>> went to Dugan's courtroom on April 18 with the intention of arresting
    Flores-Ruiz. A Mexican immigrant, Flores-Ruiz had been removed from the United
    States in 2013, but immigration officials learned he was back in the country
    illegally because of his arrest in a local domestic abuse case.

    After being informed of the agents' presence by her courtroom deputy, the >>>> judge "became visibly angry, commented that the situation was 'absurd', left
    the bench, and entered chambers," court documents say. Witnesses told
    investigators that Dugan confronted the federal agents in a public hallway,
    where she repeatedly demanded they leave, saying they needed a different kind
    of warrant to make the arrest. Dugan ordered the agents to speak with the >>>> chief judge of the courthouse.

    Several witnesses-- including Dugan's courtroom deputy and both the prosecutor
    and the Victim Witness Specialist on Flores-Ruiz’s case-- allegedly recounted
    seeing Dugan then direct Flores-Ruiz and his attorney to leave through a "jury
    door", which leads to a non-public area of the courthouse, court documents >>>> say.

    One of the witnesses told investigators that Dugan stopped the two as they >>>> tried to exit through the normal door to the courtroom, saying something to
    the effect of "Wait, come with me".

    Flores-Ruiz and his attorney quickly exited the courthouse before the agents
    were able to catch up to them, investigators say. Agents found Flores-Ruiz >>>> outside the courthouse and identified themselves. He took off running but was
    eventually captured.

    CNN has reached out to Flores-Ruiz's attorney for comment. Flores-Ruiz has not
    yet entered a plea to federal charges related to his efforts to evade arrest
    and is being detained, according to his court record. This is a separate case
    from the charges against Dugan.

    Attorney General Pam Bondi said in an interview on Fox News after the arrest
    was executed that "If you are destroying evidence and you are obstructing >>>> justice, when you have victims of domestic violence sitting in a courtroom and
    you are escorting the criminal defendant out the back door, it will not be >>>> tolerated. I think some of these judges think they are beyond and above the
    law, and they are not."

    Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, similarly said in a post on X that "Nobody >>>> should be surprised by the arrest of two judges." The second judge he is >>>> referring to is former magistrate judge Joel Cano, who is charged with >>>> harboring three alleged illegal alien gang members on his property.

    "If you actively impede our enforcement efforts or if you knowingly harbor or
    conceal illegal aliens from ICE, you will be prosecuted," Homan said.


    Toss her in jail and throw away the key. When judges pick and choose
    the laws they will follow while dictating laws for everyone else, we
    are officially in a Constitutional crisis.

    But would you want a system giving judges no discretion whatsoever?

    Judges do not have discretion to break the law.

    What is wrong with you?

    Afaik, deliberately aiding an improper seizure is breaking the law...

    Not much they could say to counter that. Cops use "officer safety" on the
    public at every turn. They can't very well claim officer safety suddenly
    doesn't matter when it's inconvenient for them.

    That sounds like you're requesting special treatment.

    Prove it.

    Telling people you are armed can be seen as a threat.

    Since we don't have uniforms and dress in plain clothes, it was literally my
    agency's official policy and the policy of the U.S. Attorney that to
    identify
    yourself and advise that you're armed when encountering local law
    enforcement

    So the department is making you do so. It still sounds like
    asking a favor. It just doesn't seem like good policy for
    a plains clothes man to tell someone that he is an officer
    and armed.

    It's a helluva lot better policy than keeping the fact that you've got a
    loaded handgun on your hip a secret from the cop that has pulled you over. If you think doing that's a bright idea, I'm surprised you've survived into adulthood.

    Wouldn't the cop want to verify that you are
    who you're claiming to be?

    The badge and credentials usually suffice for that. The one or two times in my career that it didn't, it was a simple matter to have the cop look up the
    phone number for the local field office, call it, and verify my identity.

    What if the cop doing the pulling over is a crook?

    As long as he doesn't commit crime on me, how would I know? And if he did try to commit crime on me, I'd arrest *him*.

    Good on you for giving them that heads-up. Mind you, you've also given
    me a flashback to a video I saw a few years back where a black guy got stopped and he warned the officer at the window that he had a gun in the glovebox (or maybe under the seat). The officer immediately panicked, screamed "Gun gun gun!" and shot the black guy dead (as I remember it).

    I always made sure to show the badge and crews *before* mentioning the gun.

    I believe the black man was Philando Castile. This video spooked the
    crap out of me - and still does. Castile was NOT threatening the
    officer, had a carry permit, and was warning the cop just to avoid any misunderstanding and he STILL wound up dead.

    Not much they could say to counter that. Cops use "officer safety" on the >> public at every turn. They can't very well claim officer safety suddenly
    doesn't matter when it's inconvenient for them.

    It's a valid way of putting it out there that you're a cop without directly >> suggesting you want special treatment. If you get off with a warning or a >> "have a nice day", great. If not, oh well.

    Did you ever get a break in those incidents? Just curious.

    Every time except one. And even with that one, I didn't get a ticket. Just a screaming lecture from an airport cop that was so frustrated that his career plans had stalled and he was never going to get into the FBI, that he had a hate-on for federal agents and spent his days trying to fuck with them.

    A Milwaukee County Circuit judge was arrested by the FBI Friday and
    charged
    in
    federal court for allegedly helping an undocumented immigrant avoid
    arrest.

    Judge Hannah Dugan is facing two charges for obstruction and concealing
    the
    individual from arrest. She made an initial appearance in court and was
    released.

    The arrest on federal charges is an escalation in the Trump >>>>>>>> administrations
    focus on judges' conduct, particularly as it relates to immigration
    enforcement. The Justice Department has repeatedly asserted that it will
    investigate any local officials who interfere with federal authorities on
    immigration matters.

    "We believe Judge Dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents away from
    the
    subject to be arrested in her courthouse, Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, allowing
    the
    subject-- an illegal alien-- to evade arrest," FBI Director Kash Patel
    said
    on
    X in a post Friday morning. "Thankfully our agents chased down the perp on
    foot and he's been in custody since, but the judge's obstruction created
    increased danger to the public."

    In court on Friday, Dugan's attorney said that "Judge Dugan wholeheartedly
    regrets and protests her arrest. It was not made in the interest of public
    safety," according to the AP.

    In charging documents, investigators said that plainclothes federal agents
    went to Dugan's courtroom on April 18 with the intention of arresting
    Flores-Ruiz. A Mexican immigrant, Flores-Ruiz had been removed from the
    United
    States in 2013, but immigration officials learned he was back in the
    country
    illegally because of his arrest in a local domestic abuse case. >>>>>>>>
    After being informed of the agents' presence by her courtroom deputy, the
    judge "became visibly angry, commented that the situation was 'absurd',
    left
    the bench, and entered chambers," court documents say. Witnesses told
    investigators that Dugan confronted the federal agents in a public
    hallway,
    where she repeatedly demanded they leave, saying they needed a different
    kind
    of warrant to make the arrest. Dugan ordered the agents to speak with the
    chief judge of the courthouse.

    Several witnesses-- including Dugan's courtroom deputy and both the
    prosecutor
    and the Victim Witness Specialist on Flores-Ruizs case-- allegedly
    recounted
    seeing Dugan then direct Flores-Ruiz and his attorney to leave through a
    "jury
    door", which leads to a non-public area of the courthouse, court documents
    say.

    One of the witnesses told investigators that Dugan stopped the two as they
    tried to exit through the normal door to the courtroom, saying >>>>>>>> something to
    the effect of "Wait, come with me".

    Flores-Ruiz and his attorney quickly exited the courthouse before the
    agents
    were able to catch up to them, investigators say. Agents found Flores-Ruiz
    outside the courthouse and identified themselves. He took off running but
    was
    eventually captured.

    CNN has reached out to Flores-Ruiz's attorney for comment. Flores-Ruiz has
    not
    yet entered a plea to federal charges related to his efforts to evade
    arrest
    and is being detained, according to his court record. This is a separate
    case
    from the charges against Dugan.

    Attorney General Pam Bondi said in an interview on Fox News after the
    arrest
    was executed that "If you are destroying evidence and you are obstructing
    justice, when you have victims of domestic violence sitting in a courtroom
    and
    you are escorting the criminal defendant out the back door, it will not be
    tolerated. I think some of these judges think they are beyond and above
    the
    law, and they are not."

    Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, similarly said in a post on X that "Nobody
    should be surprised by the arrest of two judges." The second judge he is
    referring to is former magistrate judge Joel Cano, who is charged with
    harboring three alleged illegal alien gang members on his property.

    "If you actively impede our enforcement efforts or if you knowingly harbor
    or
    conceal illegal aliens from ICE, you will be prosecuted," Homan said.

    If the agents' warrant, and thus their right to be in her courtroom, was
    invalid, then what should she have done ...salute?

    Given the judge's lawless behavior, why do you automatically assume she was
    telling the truth about the warrant rather than dissembling as yet another
    tactic to give the illegal time to escape?

    Wasn't her behavior lawful if the warrant was invalid

    No.

    Why not? Without a valid warrant, what gives them more rights than you?

    Show us the warrant was invalid before you proceed with this course of
    "logic".

    Hmm, I think there was a judge who said it was improper...


    The same judge who got arrested for breaking the law????
    Laughter.

    NO, really. Show us the warrant was invalid.


    THEN

    Explain why you don't have a problem with an "impartial" judge let a
    person, who is currently on trial, essentially telling the accused to
    "take off" and she won't make him stand trial.

    Oh... did she say "and don't come back"?

    Laughter.
    Oh I promise I'll come back for my trial (the multiple offense
    criminal).



    Why do you automatically assume
    she'd invite (at least) censure in order to abet a serial wife-beater? >>>>
    Because she's a leftist open-borders lunatic.

    Oh, I see. Hmm, I wonder why the article didn't mention that.

    Actions always speak louder than words.

    And both afford ample opportunity for (mis)interpretation.

    Nothing in her actions can be interpreted as anything other than
    violating the law.



    So, this whole action was all about taking down a known "activist"...

    No, it is about arresting a judge who broke the law by letting an
    accused criminal loose from her court.

    Yes. 'Accused' is different from 'convicted', you see...


    Which has NOTHING to do with what I said.

    Toss her in jail and throw away the key. When judges pick and choose
    the laws they will follow while dictating laws for everyone else, we
    are officially in a Constitutional crisis.

    But would you want a system giving judges no discretion whatsoever?

    Judges do not have discretion to break the law.

    What is wrong with you?

    Afaik, deliberately aiding an improper seizure is breaking the law...


    Now all you have to do is find a court ruling that this was an
    improper siezure.

    I ask again: what is wrong with you?

    Good on you for giving them that heads-up. Mind you, you've also given
    me a flashback to a video I saw a few years back where a black guy got stopped and he warned the officer at the window that he had a gun in the glovebox (or maybe under the seat). The officer immediately panicked, screamed "Gun gun gun!" and shot the black guy dead (as I remember it).

    I always made sure to show the badge and crews *before* mentioning the gun.

    I believe the black man was Philando Castile. This video spooked the
    crap out of me - and still does. Castile was NOT threatening the
    officer, had a carry permit, and was warning the cop just to avoid any misunderstanding and he STILL wound up dead.

    Not much they could say to counter that. Cops use "officer safety" on the public at every turn. They can't very well claim officer safety suddenly doesn't matter when it's inconvenient for them.

    It's a valid way of putting it out there that you're a cop without directly
    suggesting you want special treatment. If you get off with a warning or a "have a nice day", great. If not, oh well.
    Did you ever get a break in those incidents? Just curious.

    Every time except one. And even with that one, I didn't get a ticket. Just a screaming lecture from an airport cop that was so frustrated that his career plans had stalled and he was never going to get into the FBI, that he had a hate-on for federal agents and spent his days trying to fuck with them.

    I think I saw that movie. "Oh yeah, well I'm a big federal law guy and
    you're just a rinky dink one-horse airport tin badge from the cereal
    box jealous of ma' awesome authorita'", MC Hammer dance, flashing the

    I always made sure to show the badge and crews *before* mentioning the gun. >>
    I believe the black man was Philando Castile. This video spooked the
    crap out of me - and still does. Castile was NOT threatening the
    officer, had a carry permit, and was warning the cop just to avoid any
    misunderstanding and he STILL wound up dead.

    Not much they could say to counter that. Cops use "officer safety" on the
    public at every turn. They can't very well claim officer safety suddenly
    doesn't matter when it's inconvenient for them.

    It's a valid way of putting it out there that you're a cop without
    directly
    suggesting you want special treatment. If you get off with a warning or a
    "have a nice day", great. If not, oh well.
    Did you ever get a break in those incidents? Just curious.

    Every time except one. And even with that one, I didn't get a ticket. Just a
    screaming lecture from an airport cop that was so frustrated that his career
    plans had stalled and he was never going to get into the FBI, that he had a >> hate-on for federal agents and spent his days trying to fuck with them.

    I think I saw that movie. "Oh yeah, well I'm a big federal law guy and
    you're just a rinky dink one-horse airport tin badge from the cereal
    box jealous of ma' awesome authorita'", MC Hammer dance, flashing the
    badge "you can't touch this, you can't touch this".

    Huh?

    https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/04/25/politics/fbi-director-wisconsin-judge-arrested

    A Milwaukee County Circuit judge was arrested by the FBI Friday and
    charged
    in
    federal court for allegedly helping an undocumented immigrant avoid
    arrest.

    Judge Hannah Dugan is facing two charges for obstruction and concealing
    the
    individual from arrest. She made an initial appearance in court and was
    released.

    The arrest on federal charges is an escalation in the Trump >>>>>>>>> administration’s
    focus on judges' conduct, particularly as it relates to immigration
    enforcement. The Justice Department has repeatedly asserted that it will
    investigate any local officials who interfere with federal authorities on
    immigration matters.

    "We believe Judge Dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents away from
    the
    subject to be arrested in her courthouse, Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, allowing
    the
    subject-- an illegal alien-- to evade arrest," FBI Director Kash Patel
    said
    on
    X in a post Friday morning. "Thankfully our agents chased down the perp on
    foot and he's been in custody since, but the judge's obstruction created
    increased danger to the public."

    In court on Friday, Dugan's attorney said that "Judge Dugan wholeheartedly
    regrets and protests her arrest. It was not made in the interest of public
    safety," according to the AP.

    In charging documents, investigators said that plainclothes federal agents
    went to Dugan's courtroom on April 18 with the intention of arresting
    Flores-Ruiz. A Mexican immigrant, Flores-Ruiz had been removed from the
    United
    States in 2013, but immigration officials learned he was back in the
    country
    illegally because of his arrest in a local domestic abuse case. >>>>>>>>>
    After being informed of the agents' presence by her courtroom deputy, the
    judge "became visibly angry, commented that the situation was 'absurd',
    left
    the bench, and entered chambers," court documents say. Witnesses told
    investigators that Dugan confronted the federal agents in a public
    hallway,
    where she repeatedly demanded they leave, saying they needed a different
    kind
    of warrant to make the arrest. Dugan ordered the agents to speak with the
    chief judge of the courthouse.

    Several witnesses-- including Dugan's courtroom deputy and both the
    prosecutor
    and the Victim Witness Specialist on Flores-Ruiz’s case-- allegedly
    recounted
    seeing Dugan then direct Flores-Ruiz and his attorney to leave through a
    "jury
    door", which leads to a non-public area of the courthouse, court documents
    say.

    One of the witnesses told investigators that Dugan stopped the two as they
    tried to exit through the normal door to the courtroom, saying >>>>>>>>> something to
    the effect of "Wait, come with me".

    Flores-Ruiz and his attorney quickly exited the courthouse before the
    agents
    were able to catch up to them, investigators say. Agents found Flores-Ruiz
    outside the courthouse and identified themselves. He took off running but
    was
    eventually captured.

    CNN has reached out to Flores-Ruiz's attorney for comment. Flores-Ruiz has
    not
    yet entered a plea to federal charges related to his efforts to evade
    arrest
    and is being detained, according to his court record. This is a separate
    case
    from the charges against Dugan.

    Attorney General Pam Bondi said in an interview on Fox News after the
    arrest
    was executed that "If you are destroying evidence and you are obstructing
    justice, when you have victims of domestic violence sitting in a courtroom
    and
    you are escorting the criminal defendant out the back door, it will not be
    tolerated. I think some of these judges think they are beyond and above
    the
    law, and they are not."

    Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, similarly said in a post on X that "Nobody
    should be surprised by the arrest of two judges." The second judge he is
    referring to is former magistrate judge Joel Cano, who is charged with
    harboring three alleged illegal alien gang members on his property.

    "If you actively impede our enforcement efforts or if you knowingly harbor
    or
    conceal illegal aliens from ICE, you will be prosecuted," Homan said.

    If the agents' warrant, and thus their right to be in her courtroom, was
    invalid, then what should she have done ...salute?

    Given the judge's lawless behavior, why do you automatically assume she was
    telling the truth about the warrant rather than dissembling as yet another
    tactic to give the illegal time to escape?

    Wasn't her behavior lawful if the warrant was invalid

    No.

    Why not? Without a valid warrant, what gives them more rights than you? >>>
    Show us the warrant was invalid before you proceed with this course of
    "logic".

    Hmm, I think there was a judge who said it was improper...


    The same judge who got arrested for breaking the law????
    Laughter.

    NO, really. Show us the warrant was invalid.


    THEN

    Explain why you don't have a problem with an "impartial" judge let a
    person, who is currently on trial, essentially telling the accused to
    "take off" and she won't make him stand trial.

    Oh... did she say "and don't come back"?

    Laughter.
    Oh I promise I'll come back for my trial (the multiple offense
    criminal).

    Umm, he *was* there in the first place. Why wouldn't he return?


    Why do you automatically assume
    she'd invite (at least) censure in order to abet a serial wife-beater? >>>>>
    Because she's a leftist open-borders lunatic.

    Oh, I see. Hmm, I wonder why the article didn't mention that.

    Actions always speak louder than words.

    And both afford ample opportunity for (mis)interpretation.

    Nothing in her actions can be interpreted as anything other than
    violating the law.

    ...except for failing to honor a bogus warrant.


    So, this whole action was all about taking down a known "activist"...

    No, it is about arresting a judge who broke the law by letting an
    accused criminal loose from her court.

    Yes. 'Accused' is different from 'convicted', you see...


    Which has NOTHING to do with what I said.

    What you said is that an *accused* criminal should be locked up.

    Worry more about what's wrong with you.

    A Milwaukee County Circuit judge was arrested by the FBI Friday and

    Which has NOTHING to do with what I said.

    What you said is that an *accused* criminal should be locked up.

    No, he didn't. He said an accused criminal should not be helped to escape law enforcement by a judge who is sworn to uphold the law.

    As he was merely accused, any "shoulds" are all in one's biases. I.e.,
    he's entitled to the same "help" as an innocent you would be.

    No, you are. A state court judge has no authority or jurisdiction whatsoever
    over federal immigration matters. The agents weren't trying to arrest him in
    her courtroom, so none of it was her business in any way, shape or form. She
    decided to insert herself into a matter that did not concern her.

    She chose to fuck around and now she's finding out.

    If they weren't "trying to arrest him in her courtroom, one wonders how
    she came to be shown the warrant...

    She decided to insert herself into a matter that did not concern her.

    Wisconsin high court suspends Milwaukee judge accused of helping man

    Before any of you makes a fool of himself making a crack about the
    composition of this state's Supreme Court, this was the state with record-breaking campaign spending to get a liberal-leaning judge elected
    for a 4-3 liberal-leaning majority. It's a nonpartisan election.

    The court stated that it issued the suspension on its own initiative. Apparently it's nonpartisan to believe that flouting the law is
    noncompliant with the canon of legal ethics judges are subject to.

    How does that work, then? Can you be having dinner at home with your

    You can ask it, but they don't have to show you. They will have to show *her* and her attorney (and the court) at some point to validate the arrest, but you don't have any legal standing to demand it.

    And this is just a state court judge in the lobby of a courthouse, not some family member in their own home, so whatever standing the husband in your scenario may have, it certainly wouldn't apply to Judge Busybody.

    What else could you do even if they showed it to you?

    Anyone who's sophisticated enough to show up to your home with a counterfeit marked police cruiser and wearing police uniforms and equipment, wouldn't have any trouble downloading an arrest warrant from the internet and switching out the names and other pertinent information, forging a judge's signature, and printing it out to have in hand during the kidnapping.

    How exactly does the husband looking at the warrant in your scenario serve as
    a prophylaxis against kidnapping?

    Apparently the Wisconsin Supreme Court agrees with me. It suspended the judge

    "...temporarily suspended...to protect public confidence..."

    No mention of throwing her into Lake Michigan to see if she floats.


    And you dodge again!

    No, it wouldn't.

    Sure it would, if not legally then ethically.

    Well, ethical civil disobedience comes with a price. MLK and Gandhi both
    recognized that and did their time for breaking the law in pursuit of
    their
    higher cause. This judge should be prepared to do the same.

    But if she believed the warrant invalid then, civil or uncivil, her >>>>> disobedience would be inadvertent.

    She had *no business* checking the warrant in the first place. She has no

    an ongoing ICE operation and start demanding to see paperwork and neither
    can
    a state court judge. And if either one of them do so, they can be arrested
    and
    charged with obstruction.

    How does that work, then? Can you be having dinner at home with your
    wife and, when a knock at the door turns out to be a stranger claiming
    to have a warrant to take her away, you can't say "Show me"?

    You can ask it, but they don't have to show you. They will have to show *her*
    and her attorney (and the court) at some point to validate the arrest, but you
    don't have any legal standing to demand it.

    And this is just a state court judge in the lobby of a courthouse, not some >> family member in their own home, so whatever standing the husband in your
    scenario may have, it certainly wouldn't apply to Judge Busybody.

    So, "at some point" would seem to mean 'whenever we feel like it'.
    Thus, if some random guys show up claiming to have a warrant ("back at
    the station") for your arrest, you'd better simply let them spirit you
    away while try to assure yourself they're not actually kidnappers...


    She's a judge. She should know she has no authority in this matter.
    Ridiculous how you continue to defend an obviously illegal act on the
    judge's part.

    What else could you do even if they showed it to you?

    Anyone who's sophisticated enough to show up to your home with a counterfeit marked police cruiser and wearing police uniforms and equipment, wouldn't have
    any trouble downloading an arrest warrant from the internet and switching out the names and other pertinent information, forging a judge's signature, and printing it out to have in hand during the kidnapping.

    How exactly does the husband looking at the warrant in your scenario serve as a prophylaxis against kidnapping?

    'Kidnapping' is hyperbole to show the magic power of a claimed warrant.

    The significant thing here appears to be that they showed her the
    warrant and she pronounced it invalid. No doubt, some version of "the
    truth" will eventually emerge. Until then (and maybe even beyond),
    afaics numerous theories and possible factors are still in play.

    Apparently the Wisconsin Supreme Court agrees with me. It suspended the judge
    on its own motion for her clearly unethical actions.


    https://apnews.com/article/milwaukee-judge-arrested-supreme-court-suspended-49f25ea7702d3211719f926f8cfc90b7

    "...temporarily suspended...to protect public confidence..."

    No mention of throwing her into Lake Michigan to see if she floats.


    And you dodge again!

    Supplying missing detail is a 'dodge'? Who knew...

    She's saying the warrant was improper, and her act thus not illegal.

    A state judge has no authority to rule on the validity of a federal warrant.

    If moviePig were her lawyer, she'd get 20 years in prison rather than

    She didn't state the law that the administrative warrant didn't allow
    them to take him into custody. Did you watch the video? Derek Stone even
    points out that they can take someone into custody without probable
    cause. It's not a criminal law enforcement case.

    You tell me what he said in the video that I missed in which she made a
    proper legal argument that he couldn't be taken into custody.

    Except, as it turns out, it wasn't bogus. It was an administrative

    which is perfectly sufficient for arresting someone in a public place,
    like
    a
    courthouse. The judge was insisting on a judicial warrant, but
    that's only
    necessary if making entry on private property to effect the arrest

    So it turns out the judge was wrong, either because she's a state court
    judge
    and doesn't have knowledge and expertise on federal law, or, more
    likely,
    she
    was just fucking around and delaying things to give the illegal time to
    escape.

    Ironically, that increases the chance she made an honest mistake.

    An honest mistake wouldn't involve sticking her beak into things that are
    none
    of her business in the first place.

    So, this whole action was all about taking down a known "activist"...

    No, it is about arresting a judge who broke the law by letting an

    Yes. 'Accused' is different from 'convicted', you see...

    What you said is that an *accused* criminal should be locked up.

    No, he didn't. He said an accused criminal should not be helped to

    But if she believed the warrant invalid then, civil or uncivil, her
    disobedience would be inadvertent.

    She doesn't get to rule on the validity of the warrant.

    Duh....

    She didn't issue a ruling. She ignored a supposedly invalid warrant.

    So...how did make the termination it was invalid if she didn't issue a
    ruling?

    You just made a case for her removal from the bench. She makes up her
    own law.

    She had *no business* checking the warrant in the first place. She has no
    jurisdiction over federal immigration law. She's no different than any other
    citizen with regard to the ICE arrest. John Doe on the street can't walk up

    a state court judge. And if either one of them do so, they can be arrested

    How does that work, then? Can you be having dinner at home with your >>>>> wife and, when a knock at the door turns out to be a stranger claiming >>>>> to have a warrant to take her away, you can't say "Show me"?

    You can ask it, but they don't have to show you. They will have to show *her*
    and her attorney (and the court) at some point to validate the arrest, but you
    don't have any legal standing to demand it.

    And this is just a state court judge in the lobby of a courthouse, not some

    She either issued a formal ruling that the warrant was "improper"

    OR

    She made up her own interpretation without authority and then acted
    illegally based on her unauthorized interpretation.

    She doesn't get to rule on the validity of the warrant.

    Duh....

    She didn't issue a ruling. She ignored a supposedly invalid warrant.

    So...how did make the termination it was invalid if she didn't issue a ruling?

    She consulted her knowledge of the law. We all think we have some.


    You just made a case for her removal from the bench. She makes up her

    You make up your own conclusions.

    I had no idea the Constitution required us to allow judges to break the law >> and that stopping them from doing so puts the whole system in crisis.

    --------------------------------

    https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/04/25/politics/fbi-director-wisconsin-judge-arrested

    A Milwaukee County Circuit judge was arrested by the FBI Friday and charged in
    federal court for allegedly helping an undocumented immigrant avoid arrest. >>
    Judge Hannah Dugan is facing two charges for obstruction and concealing the >> individual from arrest. She made an initial appearance in court and was
    released.

    The arrest on federal charges is an escalation in the Trump administration’s
    focus on judges' conduct, particularly as it relates to immigration
    enforcement. The Justice Department has repeatedly asserted that it will
    investigate any local officials who interfere with federal authorities on
    immigration matters.

    "We believe Judge Dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents away from the
    subject to be arrested in her courthouse, Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, allowing the >> subject-- an illegal alien-- to evade arrest," FBI Director Kash Patel said on
    X in a post Friday morning. "Thankfully our agents chased down the perp on >> foot and he's been in custody since, but the judge's obstruction created
    increased danger to the public."

    In court on Friday, Dugan's attorney said that "Judge Dugan wholeheartedly >> regrets and protests her arrest. It was not made in the interest of public >> safety," according to the AP.

    In charging documents, investigators said that plainclothes federal agents >> went to Dugan's courtroom on April 18 with the intention of arresting
    Flores-Ruiz. A Mexican immigrant, Flores-Ruiz had been removed from the United
    States in 2013, but immigration officials learned he was back in the country >> illegally because of his arrest in a local domestic abuse case.

    After being informed of the agents' presence by her courtroom deputy, the
    judge "became visibly angry, commented that the situation was 'absurd', left >> the bench, and entered chambers," court documents say. Witnesses told
    investigators that Dugan confronted the federal agents in a public hallway, >> where she repeatedly demanded they leave, saying they needed a different kind
    of warrant to make the arrest. Dugan ordered the agents to speak with the
    chief judge of the courthouse.

    Several witnesses-- including Dugan's courtroom deputy and both the prosecutor
    and the Victim Witness Specialist on Flores-Ruiz’s case-- allegedly recounted
    seeing Dugan then direct Flores-Ruiz and his attorney to leave through a "jury
    door", which leads to a non-public area of the courthouse, court documents >> say.

    One of the witnesses told investigators that Dugan stopped the two as they >> tried to exit through the normal door to the courtroom, saying something to >> the effect of "Wait, come with me".

    Flores-Ruiz and his attorney quickly exited the courthouse before the agents >> were able to catch up to them, investigators say. Agents found Flores-Ruiz >> outside the courthouse and identified themselves. He took off running but was
    eventually captured.

    CNN has reached out to Flores-Ruiz's attorney for comment. Flores-Ruiz has not
    yet entered a plea to federal charges related to his efforts to evade arrest >> and is being detained, according to his court record. This is a separate case
    from the charges against Dugan.

    Attorney General Pam Bondi said in an interview on Fox News after the arrest >> was executed that "If you are destroying evidence and you are obstructing
    justice, when you have victims of domestic violence sitting in a courtroom and
    you are escorting the criminal defendant out the back door, it will not be >> tolerated. I think some of these judges think they are beyond and above the >> law, and they are not."

    Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, similarly said in a post on X that "Nobody >> should be surprised by the arrest of two judges." The second judge he is
    referring to is former magistrate judge Joel Cano, who is charged with
    harboring three alleged illegal alien gang members on his property.

    "If you actively impede our enforcement efforts or if you knowingly harbor or
    conceal illegal aliens from ICE, you will be prosecuted," Homan said.

    If the agents' warrant, and thus their right to be in her courtroom, was >invalid, then what should she have done ...salute?

    The Nazi type or the Mussolini type?

    She had *no business* checking the warrant in the first place. She has no

    citizen with regard to the ICE arrest. John Doe on the street can't walk up
    to
    an ongoing ICE operation and start demanding to see paperwork and neither
    can
    a state court judge. And if either one of them do so, they can be arrested
    and
    charged with obstruction.

    How does that work, then? Can you be having dinner at home with your >>>>>>> wife and, when a knock at the door turns out to be a stranger claiming >>>>>>> to have a warrant to take her away, you can't say "Show me"?

    You can ask it, but they don't have to show you. They will have to show *her*
    and her attorney (and the court) at some point to validate the arrest, but you
    don't have any legal standing to demand it.

    And this is just a state court judge in the lobby of a courthouse, not some
    family member in their own home, so whatever standing the husband in your
    scenario may have, it certainly wouldn't apply to Judge Busybody.

    So, "at some point" would seem to mean 'whenever we feel like it'.
    Thus, if some random guys show up claiming to have a warrant ("back at >>>>> the station") for your arrest, you'd better simply let them spirit you >>>>> away while try to assure yourself they're not actually kidnappers... >>>>>

    She's a judge. She should know she has no authority in this matter.
    Ridiculous how you continue to defend an obviously illegal act on the
    judge's part.

    She's saying the warrant was improper, and her act thus not illegal.


    So now you ARE saying she issued a ruling?

    Make up your mind dude.

    She either issued a formal ruling that the warrant was "improper"

    OR

    She made up her own interpretation without authority and then acted
    illegally based on her unauthorized interpretation.

    Which is it?

    She (is saying) she believed the warrant invalid, not declaring it so.

    You are attempting to draw a distinction with no difference. You
    think that, because she's a judge, she can disregard a legal warrant
    based solely on her personal opinion of it.

    No wonder court rulings are so screwed up these days.


    Thus, she did what YOU would've done. Presumably.


    Nope. I don't decide what is legal and not legal. That's for
    legitimate courts are for.

    Except, as it turns out, it wasn't bogus. It was an administrative

    which is perfectly sufficient for arresting someone in a public place,

    a
    courthouse. The judge was insisting on a judicial warrant, but
    that's only
    necessary if making entry on private property to effect the arrest
    against
    the
    consent of the owner.

    So it turns out the judge was wrong, either because she's a state court
    judge
    and doesn't have knowledge and expertise on federal law, or, more
    likely,
    she
    was just fucking around and delaying things to give the illegal time to
    escape.

    Ironically, that increases the chance she made an honest mistake.

    An honest mistake wouldn't involve sticking her beak into things that are
    none
    of her business in the first place.

    So, this whole action was all about taking down a known "activist"...

    No, it wouldn't.

    Sure it would, if not legally then ethically.

    Well, ethical civil disobedience comes with a price. MLK and Gandhi both
    recognized that and did their time for breaking the law in pursuit of their
    higher cause. This judge should be prepared to do the same.

    She doesn't get to rule on the validity of the warrant.

    Duh....

    She didn't issue a ruling. She ignored a supposedly invalid warrant.

    So...how did make the termination it was invalid if she didn't issue a
    ruling?

    She consulted her knowledge of the law. We all think we have some.

    She had no authority to do so and inserted her personal opinion to
    disregard law.

    We all have the "authority" to disregard an illegal order.

    >>> You just made a case for her removal from the bench. She makes

    You make up your own conclusions.


    Yes I do and I don't break a law just because I disagree with it.

    It's amazing what you will say to attempt to justify her illegal
    behavior.

    What I will say is that she may have thought the warrant invalid. Any discussion proceeds from that point, and not from your presumption of premeditation and guilt.

    So now you ARE saying she issued a ruling?

    Make up your mind dude.

    She either issued a formal ruling that the warrant was "improper"

    OR

    She made up her own interpretation without authority and then acted
    illegally based on her unauthorized interpretation.

    Which is it?

    She (is saying) she believed the warrant invalid, not declaring it so.

    You are attempting to draw a distinction with no difference. You
    think that, because she's a judge, she can disregard a legal warrant
    based solely on her personal opinion of it.

    Again... she allegedly believed the warrant invalid, not as a matter of "personal opinion" but as one of fact.

    Again, her personal belief is of no more consequence than any other random person on the street. This wasn't occurring in her courtroom and was not
    within her jurisdiction as a judge.

    If some random citizen walked up to ICE agents in the middle of an operation
    in their neighborhood and demanded to see the warrant (and assuming they
    showed it to humor him), his opinion that it isn't valid would make absolutely no difference and have no relevance to ICE's actions. They'd just say "Okay, buddy, whatever. Now go away or you'll be arrested for obstruction and interference."

    This judge is just a random citizen with regard to a federal ICE operation.
    Her status as a state court judge gives her no special authority or jurisdiction to declare warrants valid or invalid and have that somehow affect what ICE is doing. They are free to completely ignore her, just as they would that guy I described above and if she takes further action to frustrate or impede their operation, she goes to jail.

    *believed* the warrant invalid, and acted accordingly, as you would.

    We all have the "authority" to disregard an illegal order.

    And we all have to pay the consequences when we do so and the order turns out
    to be legal after all, especially if we took other affirmative actions to
    frustrate the service of that order on a valid defendant.

    Indeed, that's as may be. But I assume her adjudicators will also take
    into account (among many other things) her actual state of mind.

    Except, as it turns out, it wasn't bogus. It was an administrative

    a

    that's only
    necessary if making entry on private property to effect the arrest
    against
    the
    consent of the owner.

    So it turns out the judge was wrong, either because she's a state court
    judge
    and doesn't have knowledge and expertise on federal law, or, more
    likely,
    she
    was just fucking around and delaying things to give the illegal time to
    escape.

    Ironically, that increases the chance she made an honest mistake.

    An honest mistake wouldn't involve sticking her beak into things that are
    none
    of her business in the first place.

    So, this whole action was all about taking down a known "activist"...

    As he was merely accused, any "shoulds" are all in one's biases. I.e.,
    he's entitled to the same "help" as an innocent you would be.

    I wouldn't be entitled to a judge running cover for me while she
    directs me
    to
    a back door to evade the cops, either.

    *If* she thought you were illegally pursued, it'd be her *duty*.

    No, it wouldn't.

    Sure it would, if not legally then ethically.

    Well, ethical civil disobedience comes with a price. MLK and Gandhi both
    recognized that and did their time for breaking the law in pursuit of their
    higher cause. This judge should be prepared to do the same.

    But if she believed the warrant invalid then, civil or uncivil, her >>>>>>> disobedience would be inadvertent.

    She doesn't get to rule on the validity of the warrant.

    Duh....

    She didn't issue a ruling. She ignored a supposedly invalid warrant. >>>>
    So...how did make the termination it was invalid if she didn't issue a >>>> ruling?

    You make up your own conclusions.


    Yes I do and I don't break a law just because I disagree with it.

    It's amazing what you will say to attempt to justify her illegal
    behavior.

    What I will say is that she may have thought the warrant invalid. Any >discussion proceeds from that point, and not from your presumption of >premeditation and guilt.


    What she thought was irrelevent since she had no jurisdiction in the
    matter. She was properly arrested and should be removed from the
    bench.

    Amazing you're still attempting to defend her illegal actions.

    Oh look at you deciding (without any authority) the legitimacy of the

    She had *no business* checking the warrant in the first place. She has no
    jurisdiction over federal immigration law. She's no different than any other
    citizen with regard to the ICE arrest. John Doe on the street can't walk up
    to
    an ongoing ICE operation and start demanding to see paperwork and neither
    can
    a state court judge. And if either one of them do so, they can be arrested
    and
    charged with obstruction.

    You can ask it, but they don't have to show you. They will have to show *her*
    and her attorney (and the court) at some point to validate the arrest, but you
    don't have any legal standing to demand it.

    She either issued a formal ruling that the warrant was "improper"

    OR

    She made up her own interpretation without authority and then acted
    illegally based on her unauthorized interpretation.

    Which is it?

    She (is saying) she believed the warrant invalid, not declaring it so.

    You are attempting to draw a distinction with no difference. You
    think that, because she's a judge, she can disregard a legal warrant

    Laughter. She used her position to attempt to avoid arrest and
    activitely committed crimes. Her "personal opinion" is irrelevant.



    No wonder court rulings are so screwed up these days.


    Thus, she did what YOU would've done. Presumably.


    Nope. I don't decide what is legal and not legal. That's for
    legitimate courts are for.

    You cross a street when you believe it's legal. Daily.


    And if you cross against a red light you do so knowing it's illegal.
    No OPINION changes that fact.

    Dude your desperation on this matter is really showing.

    You are attempting to draw a distinction with no

    she can disregard a legal warrant based solely on
    her personal opinion of it.

    Again... she allegedly believed the warrant invalid,
    not as a matter of "personal opinion" but as one of
    fact.

    Again, her personal belief is of no more consequence
    than any other random person on the street. This wasn't
    occurring in her courtroom and was not within her
    jurisdiction as a judge.

    If some random citizen walked up to ICE agents in the
    middle of an operation in their neighborhood and
    demanded to see the warrant (and assuming they showed it
    to humor him), his opinion that it isn't valid would
    make absolutely no difference and have no relevance to
    ICE's actions. They'd just say "Okay, buddy, whatever.
    Now go away or you'll be arrested for obstruction and
    interference."

    This judge is just a random citizen with regard to a
    federal ICE operation. Her status as a state court judge
    gives her no special authority or jurisdiction to
    declare warrants valid or invalid and have that somehow
    affect what ICE is doing. They are free to completely
    ignore her, just as they would that guy I described
    above and if she takes further action to frustrate or
    impede their operation, she goes to jail.

    In this example, I'm ascribing to her "personal belief" no
    more legal authority than I would to yours. The
    (hypothetical) fact is that she *believed* the warrant
    invalid, and acted accordingly, as you would.

    Even if I thought they were operating with bad paper, I
    would no more take active measures to interfere in an ICE
    operation than I would litigate my case on the side of the
    road with a cop during a traffic stop.

    In both instances, I would recognize that issues like the
    validity of warrants and whether I came to a complete stop
    or not are matters for a court to decide, not for me to take
    into my own hands at the scene.

    But if, for whatever reason, considerable damage would be done
    by a successful apprehension, you might be more stinting in
    your cooperation.

    Which is not what we're talking about here. This judge wasn't
    asked for her cooperation and she wasn't arrested because she
    refused to give it. She took proactive measures to obstruct and
    interfere. That's what put her in handcuffs.

    She sent them out a "side door", which wasn't illegal, per se.

    Uh yeah it is.

    Uh, there's a *law* that says she can't send someone out that door?

    Tell us what she was arrested for. You already know the answer. Your continuing evasion of reality is humorous at best.



    Wow.


    Now, you

    You make up your own conclusions.


    Yes I do and I don't break a law just because I disagree with it.

    It's amazing what you will say to attempt to justify her illegal
    behavior.

    What I will say is that she may have thought the warrant invalid. Any
    discussion proceeds from that point, and not from your presumption of
    premeditation and guilt.


    What she thought was irrelevant since she had no jurisdiction in the
    matter. She was properly arrested and should be removed from the
    bench.

    Amazing you're still attempting to defend her illegal actions.

    What she thought may be relevant to any penalty.

    Yes I do and I don't break a law just because I disagree with it.

    Amazing you're still attempting to defend her illegal actions.

    You are attempting to draw a distinction with no
    difference. You think that, because she's a judge,
    she can disregard a legal warrant based solely on
    her personal opinion of it.

    Again... she allegedly believed the warrant invalid,
    not as a matter of "personal opinion" but as one of
    fact.

    Again, her personal belief is of no more consequence
    than any other random person on the street. This wasn't
    occurring in her courtroom and was not within her
    jurisdiction as a judge.

    If some random citizen walked up to ICE agents in the
    middle of an operation in their neighborhood and
    demanded to see the warrant (and assuming they showed it
    to humor him), his opinion that it isn't valid would
    make absolutely no difference and have no relevance to
    ICE's actions. They'd just say "Okay, buddy, whatever.
    Now go away or you'll be arrested for obstruction and
    interference."

    This judge is just a random citizen with regard to a
    federal ICE operation. Her status as a state court judge
    gives her no special authority or jurisdiction to
    declare warrants valid or invalid and have that somehow
    affect what ICE is doing. They are free to completely
    ignore her, just as they would that guy I described
    above and if she takes further action to frustrate or
    impede their operation, she goes to jail.

    In this example, I'm ascribing to her "personal belief" no
    more legal authority than I would to yours. The
    (hypothetical) fact is that she *believed* the warrant
    invalid, and acted accordingly, as you would.

    Even if I thought they were operating with bad paper, I
    would no more take active measures to interfere in an ICE
    operation than I would litigate my case on the side of the
    road with a cop during a traffic stop.

    In both instances, I would recognize that issues like the
    validity of warrants and whether I came to a complete stop
    or not are matters for a court to decide, not for me to take
    into my own hands at the scene.

    But if, for whatever reason, considerable damage would be done
    by a successful apprehension, you might be more stinting in
    your cooperation.

    Which is not what we're talking about here. This judge wasn't
    asked for her cooperation and she wasn't arrested because she
    refused to give it. She took proactive measures to obstruct and
    interfere. That's what put her in handcuffs.

    She sent them out a "side door", which wasn't illegal, per se.

    Uh yeah it is.

    Uh, there's a *law* that says she can't send someone out that door?

    Please show sentience by citing it...

    Tell us what she was arrested for. You already know the answer. Your
    continuing evasion of reality is humorous at best.

    Well???




    Wow.


    Now, you
    may contend that her *purpose* was obstructive, but afaics that's
    not sufficient to convict her. Moreover, there's a broad
    continuum of ways you might similarly contend were meant to impede
    the agents. E.g., she might have dithered while answering
    questions, or dropped her gavel...

    It was 100% illegal.

    Uh, there's a *law* that says she can't send someone out that door?

    Please show sentience by citing it...> So you're saying her arrest was illegal?

    No, *I'm* saying that using the side door, per se, is obviously legal.

    *You're" saying it isn't ...somehow.

    You're attempting to be clever...and failing.

    Helping a person with a warrant escape is an arrestable offense.
    She got what was deserved.



    What weird version of reality are you living in?

    Got it.

    The knowledge that you can't admit you're wrong?

    Wrong about what? Keep it short and exact...


    Go back to the beginning of the thread before you started wandering

    You wrote that for yourself dude.

    I can't make sense of that.


    Of course you can't. You don't want to.

    Except, as it turns out, it wasn't bogus. It was an administrative
    warrant,
    which is perfectly sufficient for arresting someone in a public place,
    like
    a
    courthouse. The judge was insisting on a judicial warrant, but
    that's only
    necessary if making entry on private property to effect the arrest
    against
    the
    consent of the owner.

    So it turns out the judge was wrong, either because she's a state court
    judge
    and doesn't have knowledge and expertise on federal law, or, more
    likely,
    she
    was just fucking around and delaying things to give the illegal time to
    escape.

    Ironically, that increases the chance she made an honest mistake.

    An honest mistake wouldn't involve sticking her beak into things that are

    of her business in the first place. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    So, this whole action was all about taking down a known "activist"...

    Which has NOTHING to do with what I said.

    What you said is that an *accused* criminal should be locked up.

    No, he didn't. He said an accused criminal should not be helped to
    escape
    law
    enforcement by a judge who is sworn to uphold the law.

    As he was merely accused, any "shoulds" are all in one's biases. I.e.,
    he's entitled to the same "help" as an innocent you would be.

    I wouldn't be entitled to a judge running cover for me while she
    directs me
    to
    a back door to evade the cops, either. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    *If* she thought you were illegally pursued, it'd be her *duty*.

    No, it wouldn't.

    Sure it would, if not legally then ethically.

    Well, ethical civil disobedience comes with a price. MLK and Gandhi both
    recognized that and did their time for breaking the law in pursuit of their
    higher cause. This judge should be prepared to do the same. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    But if she believed the warrant invalid then, civil or uncivil, her

    She doesn't get to rule on the validity of the warrant. >>>>>>>>>>>>>
    Duh....

    She didn't issue a ruling. She ignored a supposedly invalid warrant.

    So...how did make the termination it was invalid if she didn't issue a

    She consulted her knowledge of the law. We all think we have some. >>>>>>>>>>

    Yes. 'Accused' is different from 'convicted', you see...


    Which has NOTHING to do with what I said.

    What you said is that an *accused* criminal should be locked up.

    No, he didn't. He said an accused criminal should not be helped to
    escape
    law
    enforcement by a judge who is sworn to uphold the law.

    As he was merely accused, any "shoulds" are all in one's biases. I.e.,
    he's entitled to the same "help" as an innocent you would be.

    I wouldn't be entitled to a judge running cover for me while she

    to
    a back door to evade the cops, either. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    Duh....

    She didn't issue a ruling. She ignored a supposedly invalid warrant.

    So...how did make the termination it was invalid if she didn't issue a
    ruling?

    She consulted her knowledge of the law. We all think we have some.

    She had no authority to do so and inserted her personal opinion to >>>>>>>>>>>> disregard law.

    Laughter. You just can't admit when you're wrong.

    Got it.

    And you can keep it.


    The knowledge that you can't admit you're wrong?

    Wrong about what? Keep it short and exact...


    Go back to the beginning of the thread before you started wandering
    around and excusing a judge breaking the law.

    No, especially as it's that easy, *you* back up your claim. And
    remember to Keep it short and exact.


    You're so cute when you stomp your feet.

    Laughter.

    Let's try a simple question: do you believe any judge has a LEGAL
    right to ignore a warrant and help an illegal to escape custody?

    Still waiting to hear what I was "wrong" about.

    Remember, short and exact...



    Can't answer a short and exact question I see. It goes directly to
    what you are wrong about.
