Steve Burkholder, ‘Massachusetts judge and ex-official accused of preventing migrant’s arrest by ICE,’ Washington Post (Apr. 25, 2019, 7:46 PM), <https://tinyurl.com/ymdkc8us>:
“A Massachusetts state court judge and a former court officer were charged by federal prosecutors Thursday with obstructing justice for allegedly preventing an immigration and customs officer from arresting an undocumented immigrant at a courthouse west of Boston last year.”

Keeffe, ‘Practicing Lawyer’s Guide to the Current Law Magazines,’ 48 American
Bar Asso. J. 491, 491 (1962) (explaining that during the American Civil War,
federal authorities arrested Judge James L. Bartol of the Maryland Court of
Appeals and Judge Richard Bennett Carmichael of the Maryland Circuit Court, and
the “latter was arrested while conducting court”).
What is described above happened under President Obama Trump-45 and under President Lincoln. Judges are not above the law; judges cannot interpose their courthouse and personal rules and policies against federal officers. And when state judges violate the law, they must be arrested . . . like you and me and anyone else. We all know that—or, at least, we should.

Um, wasn't Trump president in 2019?
ReplyDeleteExcept for Donnie King. He's above the law.
ReplyDeleteDonnie is the CEO of Tyson Foods, the US' largest poultry producer. Donnie only hires illegal aliens. That's against the law. He does that because they'll work for less per hour than you will, since they're desperate and trying to stay ahead of ICE.
Donnie is above the law.
