Liberal Judges and the Law

   A New Mexico judge has been arrested for harboring illegal aliens that are a part of a Venezuelan gang.  He and his wife have been charged with tampering with evidence.

   A Wisconsin judge has been arrested for obstructing justice by hiding an illegal alien from ICE.  It appears that Judge Dugan escorted an illegal alien and his attorney through the jury room and onto the street in order to avoid ICE agents.

   Critics have, of course, claimed that Trump is intimidating judges.  Judges that refuse to follow the law themselves even as they jail other criminals that don't follow it.  Bondi has called them on this ridiculous attitude that they, the judges, get to decide which laws shall be enforced and which they can violate with impunity.

   Question; will we next find conservative judges (or other law enforcement) deciding which laws they can violate, or will it remain limited to liberal judges?  If our judges are now willingly and intentionally violating the law are we still a nation of laws?  Or are liberal judges now in charge of legislating from the bench; no legislature needed for city, state and even national laws?  Is congress to be set aside in favor of judges that take it upon themselves to decide which laws they or the general public are subject to?

      I agree with Bondi, it is ridiculous! The antics of these so-called judges, makes a mockery of our country, and of our system of laws. What's worse, their intentions are far more deviant than mocking and defying.
      We MUST get back to the basics; but how do we get there?

         Follow and support Trump in this matter.  Democrats will (and already are) crying out that they are being targeted and intimidated -- OK, that's what happens to ALL criminals.  You want to live on the wrong side of the law you WILL be targeted and you WILL be intimidated. 
         
         As has happened all too often (remember "No one is bugging his headquarters!") Trump is absolutely right here.

   Great Thread!
   
   Absolutely spot on. I’m honestly stunned by what’s coming to light here, and even more stunned at how quietly it’s being treated by much of the media. A judge, someone sworn to uphold the law, allegedly harboring violent gang members and actively helping illegal aliens evade immigration authorities? It’s beyond reckless, it’s a betrayal of the very oath they took.
   
   It’s not just in New Mexico either. In Wisconsin, Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested for obstructing justice, allegedly helping an undocumented immigrant, Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, evade arrest by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. Flores-Ruiz, a Mexican national, had previously been deported twice and reentered the U.S. illegally with a record of violence. This time, he was facing charges for misdemeanor battery and domestic abuse. Judge Dugan is accused of escorting him and his attorney through a non-public exit in the courthouse to avoid ICE agents waiting to arrest him. Thankfully, Flores-Ruiz was later apprehended outside the courthouse.
   
   In my view, we are watching a leftist judicial system that has been weaponized. Judges who are supposed to be neutral arbiters are now picking and choosing which laws they feel like following, all while jailing everyday Americans for far less. If judges start violating laws based on political ideology, we are no longer a nation of laws — we are a nation at the mercy of political operatives in robes.
   
   This can’t become the new normal. If liberal judges feel emboldened to break the law without consequence, what’s to stop others from doing the same? And where does that leave regular citizens who are still expected to live under the rules these judges casually toss aside? The foundation of justice must be impartial and consistent, otherwise, trust collapses.
   
   We need real accountability across the board, and we need it now. Judges aren’t kings, and they don’t get to rewrite or ignore laws to suit their personal or political agendas.

      "...they don’t get to rewrite or ignore laws to suit their personal or political agendas."
      
      At least they don't get to anymore.  Trump, and his crowd, are taking on the whole Democrat philosophy that liberals can do whatever they wish without regard to morality, ethics or law.  We can only hope he doesn't falter.

            Were I Trump I would be out of the country on the last day of his Presidency.  I would STAY out of the country, for IMO they will work until his death to imprison him.  And eventually they will succeed, legally or not.

   That is true. Ironic, but true.

   If prosecuting judges caught defying the law is appropriate, I will use the same logic to attack Trump and the Executive branch for doing the same.
   
   Good for the goose is good for the gander, right?

      Go for it.  With the hundreds (thousands?) of claims of Trump violating the law, I believe he has been convicted exactly once.  And that one took changing the law retroactively so he could be convicted of doing something that wasn't against the law when he did it.
      
      So yes, go for it and remember as you do so that he has had excellent teachers the past decade or so.
