Well, it's even more interesting. Judge Dugan was previously Executive Director at Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, and Catholic Charities has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the illegal immigrant grift.
Her devotion to (purported but often breached) norms of American jurisprudence may be somewhat less than one can reasonably hope for.
Almost forty years ago I worked for a NYC refugee resettlement agency in the waning years of Soviet Jewish immigration and the agency began diversifying its clientele, and I can testify that once what had originally been self-help organizations began getting government contracts, everybody made money. Lotsa lotsa money. Them taxpayer dimes add up fast.
Sounds like my experience with a charity working with the homeless. I lasted 6 months between 'sweet summer child' (although I have been homeless myself, albeit in the 'van by the river' sense, thus I started with potentially real compassion) and 'fed up with this shite'. I fired myself though.
I've been homeless too, though my version was sleeping on the urine-perfumed sofa of a colleague of my mother until I scraped together enough money to rent an apt. where I slept on a mattress on the floor and that was, obviously, a considerable upgrade.
Bureaucracy has been pretty wretched since at least as far back as those priest guilds in ancient Egypt
Enforcing pack discipline and norms makes sense when the pack has maybe no more than 24 members. After that it becomes the battle of the factions and lo. Here we are.
AND Federal dollars = Federal strings, which then changes both the core of the mission and the mindset of those who will do whatever it takes to keep those dollars flowing. Hubby and I both came from families that went through some rough times economically and thus wanted our kids to appreciate that they didn't. We volunteered as a family at a family shelter that also started getting gov contracts, and within a few years it was not the same organization at all. Went from a transitional housing model with rules, goals and a move towards self sufficiency to housing for all and no longer felt safe. We now give to a different organization who refuses all gov dollars.
Then, she should have recused herself from all such cases. Now She needs disbarment, removal from office and prison time.
On another note, I think Catholic Charities, Lutheran Charities and all the others should be made to return all the money they received to bring the invaders here, and all the money they received to support them while here.
Claw-back; and investigate Catholic Charities, and all their related NGOs, all of their contracts, and all of their affiliates, and vendors. Make them change their name.
The nation’s highest court has had ample opportunities to halt these lower court judges’ destructive antics but has repeatedly declined to do so.
By declining to rein in the Biden-appointed judge’s outlandish behavior, the high court’s majority all but gave the green light to activist judges across the country to take similar actions on leftist-backed lawsuits filed in their respective jurisdictions.
This has encouraged these judicial supremacists to issue blanket injunctions barring the Trump administration from implementing policies the American people voted for, thus effectively rendering the 2024 presidential election results moot
SPOT ON! They're all brothers in the same lodge! "It is the people, and not the judges, who are entitled to say what their constitution means, for the constitution is theirs, it belongs to them and not to their servants in office—any other theory is incompatible with the foundation principles of our government."
The supreme court was supposed to interpret / examine laws to assure they aligned with the constitution, NOT as it has become, to interpret the constitution so they can make it align with laws. It turns the judicial process into a series of magicians tricks, shell games, card tricks and illusions. The magicians themselves 1st illusion is what they present themselves as to get confirmed.
EXACTLY! Probably the worst thing that has happened in America in my time is the decay of confidence in the courts. No one can be sure any more that in a given case they will uphold the plainest mandate of the Constitution. On the contrary, everyone begins to be more or less convinced in advance that they won't. Judges are chosen not because they know the Constitution and are in favor of it, but precisely because they appear to be against it.
This quote shows just how long this has been the problem. It has never been addressed or remedied because the politicians don't want to. They gainsay the laws, they gainsay the economy. They, with some notable exceptions, do not work for the people. I believe a large part of the problem is that we are by and large governed by lawyers. = Not what the founders had in mind.
It’s unclear exactly what game the high court’s majority is playing. Even for a wannabe politician like Chief Justice Roberts whose primary concern seems to be protecting the judiciary’s “legitimacy” rather than interpreting the Constitution as written - the decisions to allow the lower courts to run afoul of America’s constitutional order.
For example, issuing late-night orders on EASTER are unlikely to sit well with the public for long...which is the irony because i think thats exactly the opposite outcome they're expecting. They're not aware we're actually paying attention and have receipts - they still don't understand the status quo is over.
One could argue the high court’s antics are doing more damage to its reputation than leftists’ smear campaigns ever could.
Looking back at roberts, I was optimistic when he was appointed. In retrospect, being appointed by "w" should have been a RED FLAG! Talleyrand knew: "Mistrust first impulses; they are nearly always good."
My hope and it s a very dim one is that the SC is waiting for all the lefty judges to interfere in the presidents EOs and then in one fell swoop render them moot by ruling that the president does indeed run the country. But I think for that to happen the SC needs to be more afraid of DJT then they are of dems killing them. Like I said a very dim hope.
Yeah, the Catholic Charities angle. I can only think that they are for this for similar reasons the dems are: population. Just as Catholics are no longer butts in seats and tithing in American churches, they are trolling for new revenue sources with cultural believers from elsewhere. Funny thing is, if they just got rid of the pedos thirty years ago and purged the clergy a bit, they might not have lost their american audience and revenue. (I say this as a non-catholic who has listened to the same tirade many times from formerly Catholic friends...)
Cradle Catholic here who is fed UP with the corruption in the Catholic church. When i do attend with my husband (who is oblivious to the corruption), more than half the church bulletin is full of requests for money for this cause, or that charity and of course for the church collection (more is needed urgently). I view the church as a business with the bible attached who long ago lost the plot.
Now that the federal spigot of money stopped, Catholic Charities pivoted from smuggling illegals into the US to housing them. Blue states like Arizona are awarding lucrative contracts to Catholic Charities to give rent subsidies and other assistance to the migrants. Catholic Charities is no different than Judge Dugan and it too must be brought to justice.
Many years ago during a visit with my now late UK friend, I went with her to the Baptist congregation she attended. It was just a humble whitewashed room with folding chairs and they went to the local supermarket for the loaf of bread and bottle of wine with which they celebrated communion. Though I disagree of course with their doctrine it was nevertheless as pure a reflection of the spirit of Jesus's ministry as one can possibly find.
Would be interesting to get Jesus's views on the Vatican.
In the 1970s, the spiritual teacher Sathya Sai Baba remarked that the Vatican was "a hotbed of Satanism." At another time he said that we were on the brink of a Golden Age. Things take a while.
The Catholic Church is an institution I am bound to hold divine - but for unbelievers a proof of its divinity might be found in the fact that no merely human institution conducted with such knavish imbecility would have lasted a fortnight.
I cannot believe for a second that something established long ago, and I am talking dark ages- re: The Bad Popes by ER Chamberlin- could ever defend it's right to divine predominance , That anyone considers it 'divine' is wallowing in ignorance of the factual history of the holy see. But I am not a believer in that kind of divine.
A rising mass movement attracts and holds a following not by its doctrine and promises but by the refuge it offers from the anxieties, barrenness and meaningless of an individual existence. It cures the poignantly frustrated not by conferring upon them an absolute truth or by remedying the difficulties and abuses which made their lives miserable, but by freeing them from their ineffectual selves and it does this by enfolding and absorbing them into a closely knit and exultant corporate whole.
Problem is that the Catholic party has been infested with pedos for centuries, it’s not a recent phenomenon. In all those centuries they have never shown any intent of ridding themselves of child rapists, quite the opposite actually. Personally, I don’t understand why any responsible government would allow the Catholic church to operate within its borders. As is often the case, South Park absolutely skewered the Catholic Church on this issue.
Red guards in black robes. Glad we have arrested the worst two cases, but there are hundreds to go. RICO could uncover a vast web of unsavory conflicts of interest…
I mentioned this on Twitter, but I have to imagine that being a courtroom, we're going to have high-definition video of just about everything, right?
I'm hearing a lot of "He was in the public hallway and officers didn't do anything" -- which first of all isn't exactly true since one of the officers got onto the elevator with him and radioed the others about what was happening. But secondly, being in a hallway with somebody doesn't automatically mean you're in detaining range. Additionally, the "plan" was to make the officers believe the illegal and his lawyer were handling a procedural matter BEFORE HIS HEARING.
Once the officers realized he was actually fleeing, they pursued.
They're just afflicted with a terminal case of self-righteous Social Justice ideology, which is rooted in white guilt/white saviorism.
Helping the poor, brown and allegedly oppressed (whether an illegal alien, criminal, or Palestinian etc) is a sacred commandment to them, a way to be seen as Good and morally elect.
The White Man's Burden is still alive, it's just become the White Woman's Emotional Burden.
it's conspicuous compassion for our (pseudo)egalitarian age. our SJ betters consider their virtue a credential, they whip it out to display their social/moral superiority.
It's a known phenomenon in female animals, including humans, that if they don't have children they'll transfer their empathy to literally anything. Feminism being the first major step of the Long March post-WW2 was not a coincidence. Prevent family formation and you're well on the way to speed running Cloward-Piven.
Feminism was, in its first and second forms, about getting acknowledgement of work and the right to a bank account-the right to the money we made without a male relative taking it. It was historically to protect widows who were traditionally at the mercy of their families. Do you have a problem with women having economic freedom from male supervision? o
That is all it is or should be. You all are mad at a psy-0p. I don't know how to make it better other than to tell you women are not your enemies.
It was to halve wages by doubling the workforce. The widows and orphans stuff is the psyop. And of course women as a group aren't the enemy. But they do make up a disproportionate number of the people who want to enslave everyone.
And you know damn well the current 4th-gen version doesn't even pretend to be benign.
What a lazy analysis. People are complicated. You are complicated. Have you never done something which, in retrospect, could be lazily attributed by some hostile idiot to your “truly evil” nature? Of course you have. So have we all.
I kept saying it could be subliminal messaging but I saw a video here on Substack of someone saying that are using hypnosis. Part of that whole mind control program. It seems those who watch TV are the ones with TDS and whatnot. A lot of normal commenters here on Substack stopped watching TV long ago like myself.
Ouch. Let’s not disparage grocery store managers via comparison to this idiot judge. The judge needs prison time where she can mingle with the violent criminals she endeavors to protect, the people she really seems to relate too.
yes, I understand. I think they should not be doing what they are doing, choose another profession.... perhaps where you are not dealing with humans on this kind of level. Healthy human interactions are good, but their positions are invasive, and they have not business in that sort of activity
I did not intend for it to be an insult. It was more just an example of something completely opposite from what they are doing now. They are not FIT properly for this
kind of job, interfering in lives of others on this level
not meant to be. Just a random diametrically opposite from what they are responsible for. They should not be involved in such a high level job that oversees
There is one president. There are 677 or so federal district court judges and thousands of state and local judges. Over 77 million Americans voted for the president based on his promises to, among other things, close the border, deport millions of illegal aliens, and reform the federal government. Apparently, many judges who do not support the President’s policies abuse their power to interfere in his exercise of his authority. That needs to end. Federal district court judges do not and should not have the power to use court cases to thwart the president’s implementation of his agenda.
Judge Dugan went even further. She broke the law to thwart implementation of the president’s deportation policy. As el gato points out, this was not civil disobedience against an unjust law, but abuse of power to break the law. The thousands of state and local judges have no privilege to break state or federal law. In this case, the judge is a misguided jackass and should pay a stiff price.
People make mistakes. This wasn't a mistake. She knew exactly what she was doing. Throw the book at her, not just to encourage the others, but because she deserves the full unmitigated consequences of her outrageous conduct.
In the photo of the judge and bust in covid masks, there’s a Ukraine trident symbol next to the lamp, so that’s yet another Approved Cause base she has covered.
Good grief, next we’ll be hearing she was wearing a pussy hat while on the bench. Don’t they teach anything in baby judge school about keeping your personal politics out of the courtroom?
And assuming the trident didn’t appear until Ukraine became the Current Thing, that means she had poor Abe, and presumably everyone else in her courtroom, masked up well into 2022 at least. What a joyful workplace she must preside over
And a Mockingbird.... edit to note that the bottom of the pic in the article is cropped. Other pics show a cut-out metal mockingbird next to the Ukranian coat of arms.
Thanks for the retailed account and the actual Complaint packet against Dugan. I live in central Wisconsin (grew up in Milwaukee), so this is an interesting case for me. Wisconsin has changed a lot over the decades.
We have an election commission all of whose terms had expired years ago but remain in their position. We have Senator Baldwin who lives in New York City, We have constant election fraud based out of Madison, Milwaukee, Racine, and a few other Democrat controlled cities. The latest election switched our state Supreme Court with the most out of state money ever in a Supreme Court election in order to redistrict to remove 2 Republican US Representative with the aim to switch the House to Democrat in 2026 and foment the impeachment and removal of President Trump. Yet, in the lead up to the election we hardly saw a sign for the democrat candidate, but the republican signs were everywhere we traveled. That election also had a voter ID referendum on the ballot which won overwhelmingly, but somehow, the anti-voter ID candidate for Supreme court also won. That just doesn't happen!
Perhaps? It seems to be a case by case jurisdiction by jurisdiction by jurisdiction situation. The presidential election of 2024 being an example. The Jacobins that ran the 2020 Color Revolution and stole that presidential, thought they had "24" in the bag, only to be surprised. We'll have a better idea after the"26" elections. "We should be unfaithful to ourselves if we should ever lose sight of the danger to our Liberties if anything partial or extraneous should infect the purity of our free, fair, virtuous, and independent elections. If an election is to be determined by a majority of a single vote, and that can be procured by a party through artifice or corruption, the Government may be the choice of a party for its own ends, not of the nation for the national good."
Oh geeze…. It’s a sobering day when The Peter Principle manifests in our judicial system…. This judge is hardly Intellectually or emotionally equipped to preside over a courtroom.
Any judge that laments how troublesome it is the First Amendment is “getting in the way of the government doing its job” should not be on the Supreme Court. Period.
Once that defense attorney went through the private door, she should have stopped and said to her client, “I am advising you, as your attorney, to go back into the courtroom with me. I can’t make you go, but it is in your best legal interest to do so. I am going back into the courtroom. To do otherwise would be a violation of the attorney ethics rules.” Then, she should have gone back into the courtroom with or without the client. To keep going once she realized what was happening converted an innocent following a judge’s instruction to aiding and abetting (accessory after the fact).
I am also a public defense attorney. Court appointed. I am also, by the fact that I am a member of my state’s bar, an officer of the court. The actions of the judge and the defense attorney are ethical violations and criminal violations, however the judge is in the most hot water. Her judicial oath holds her to an even higher standard.
The higher standard was what I kept thinking while reading this. And the idea of doing something illegal for moral reasons--like helping a slave--is not something, in my opinion, that is an option for a judge. The only time I can imagine this being a factor for a judge would be when sentencing someone. If a judge wants to do illegal things for righteous reasons, they should quit their job first.
I didn't see any charges of 8 USC 1324 used against this judge. I wonder why not.
Trump uses that existing law just once, and the alien issue fixes itself over a very short timeframe. They will self deport, as their will be no housing, nor jobs available to them.
I absolutely love your articles. You hit all the targets dead on and bring the receipts every damn time. Legacy media look like delinquent kindergarteners who can't manage remedial journalism next to your PhD. Whoever you are, I think I'm in love. LOL
Assuming she’s convicted, let’s see how she’s sentenced. Anything less than the maximum under the sentencing guidelines would be a travesty. She’s not someone caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. She’s a judge, authorized to “apply the law”, not “apply ideology”.
Well, it's even more interesting. Judge Dugan was previously Executive Director at Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, and Catholic Charities has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the illegal immigrant grift.
Her devotion to (purported but often breached) norms of American jurisprudence may be somewhat less than one can reasonably hope for.
Gotta believe there were some generous kickbacks going on there.
Almost forty years ago I worked for a NYC refugee resettlement agency in the waning years of Soviet Jewish immigration and the agency began diversifying its clientele, and I can testify that once what had originally been self-help organizations began getting government contracts, everybody made money. Lotsa lotsa money. Them taxpayer dimes add up fast.
And nobody's really keeping track of where they go!
I was so innocent when I started there and so disillusioned by the time I got fired.
Sounds like my experience with a charity working with the homeless. I lasted 6 months between 'sweet summer child' (although I have been homeless myself, albeit in the 'van by the river' sense, thus I started with potentially real compassion) and 'fed up with this shite'. I fired myself though.
I've been homeless too, though my version was sleeping on the urine-perfumed sofa of a colleague of my mother until I scraped together enough money to rent an apt. where I slept on a mattress on the floor and that was, obviously, a considerable upgrade.
Same at the VA. After my boss made me AWOL for going to one of my students funeral; 15 mins early with the 2nd in command (my boss wasn’t there)
Scratch any cynic and you will find a disappointed idealist.

And a lot of tirades about hypocrites.
"Whitewashed sepulchres" was His vivid description, I believe!
Indeed.
The now departed pope had the trifecta of side effects from the covid poison shot; respiratory , neurological, and vascular
Plus he had a terminal case of communism.

As is often the case, South Park absolutely skewered the Catholic Church on this issue.
Just like that whack job Episcopal bishop in DC . Her church was into the government for $53 million for immigrant "resettlement" and the like.

it's conspicuous compassion for our (pseudo)egalitarian age. our SJ betters consider their virtue a credential, they whip it out to display their social/moral superiority.
Precisely
It's a known phenomenon in female animals, including humans, that if they don't have children they'll transfer their empathy to literally anything. Feminism being the first major step of the Long March post-WW2 was not a coincidence. Prevent family formation and you're well on the way to speed running Cloward-Piven.
Feminism was, in its first and second forms, about getting acknowledgement of work and the right to a bank account-the right to the money we made without a male relative taking it. It was historically to protect widows who were traditionally at the mercy of their families. Do you have a problem with women having economic freedom from male supervision? o
That is all it is or should be. You all are mad at a psy-0p. I don't know how to make it better other than to tell you women are not your enemies.
It was to halve wages by doubling the workforce. The widows and orphans stuff is the psyop. And of course women as a group aren't the enemy. But they do make up a disproportionate number of the people who want to enslave everyone.
And you know damn well the current 4th-gen version doesn't even pretend to be benign.
!!!
They aren’t ‘mentally ill’. They are truly evil.
What a lazy analysis. People are complicated. You are complicated. Have you never done something which, in retrospect, could be lazily attributed by some hostile idiot to your “truly evil” nature? Of course you have. So have we all.
I kept saying it could be subliminal messaging but I saw a video here on Substack of someone saying that are using hypnosis. Part of that whole mind control program. It seems those who watch TV are the ones with TDS and whatnot. A lot of normal commenters here on Substack stopped watching TV long ago like myself.
Meh, I watch a decent amount of TV and I hate Democrats.
I watch the old shows as the current crop is pure garbage. I look to the day when democrats turn into targets.
LOL
Ouch. Let’s not disparage grocery store managers via comparison to this idiot judge. The judge needs prison time where she can mingle with the violent criminals she endeavors to protect, the people she really seems to relate too.
yes, I understand. I think they should not be doing what they are doing, choose another profession.... perhaps where you are not dealing with humans on this kind of level. Healthy human interactions are good, but their positions are invasive, and they have not business in that sort of activity
Why insult grocery store managers?
I did not intend for it to be an insult. It was more just an example of something completely opposite from what they are doing now. They are not FIT properly for this
kind of job, interfering in lives of others on this level
I know. I was joking.
An insult to grocery store managers everywhere! 😀
not meant to be. Just a random diametrically opposite from what they are responsible for. They should not be involved in such a high level job that oversees
lives of many

There is one president. There are 677 or so federal district court judges and thousands of state and local judges. Over 77 million Americans voted for the president based on his promises to, among other things, close the border, deport millions of illegal aliens, and reform the federal government. Apparently, many judges who do not support the President’s policies abuse their power to interfere in his exercise of his authority. That needs to end. Federal district court judges do not and should not have the power to use court cases to thwart the president’s implementation of his agenda.
Judge Dugan went even further. She broke the law to thwart implementation of the president’s deportation policy. As el gato points out, this was not civil disobedience against an unjust law, but abuse of power to break the law. The thousands of state and local judges have no privilege to break state or federal law. In this case, the judge is a misguided jackass and should pay a stiff price.
As should several more.
People make mistakes. This wasn't a mistake. She knew exactly what she was doing. Throw the book at her, not just to encourage the others, but because she deserves the full unmitigated consequences of her outrageous conduct.
My favorite part of all of this is that he was arrested anyway. She outed herself for nothing.
In the photo of the judge and bust in covid masks, there’s a Ukraine trident symbol next to the lamp, so that’s yet another Approved Cause base she has covered.
Good grief, next we’ll be hearing she was wearing a pussy hat while on the bench. Don’t they teach anything in baby judge school about keeping your personal politics out of the courtroom?
And assuming the trident didn’t appear until Ukraine became the Current Thing, that means she had poor Abe, and presumably everyone else in her courtroom, masked up well into 2022 at least. What a joyful workplace she must preside over
noticed it immediately --and it's a BIG one
And a Mockingbird.... edit to note that the bottom of the pic in the article is cropped. Other pics show a cut-out metal mockingbird next to the Ukranian coat of arms.
Thanks for the retailed account and the actual Complaint packet against Dugan. I live in central Wisconsin (grew up in Milwaukee), so this is an interesting case for me. Wisconsin has changed a lot over the decades.
We have an election commission all of whose terms had expired years ago but remain in their position. We have Senator Baldwin who lives in New York City, We have constant election fraud based out of Madison, Milwaukee, Racine, and a few other Democrat controlled cities. The latest election switched our state Supreme Court with the most out of state money ever in a Supreme Court election in order to redistrict to remove 2 Republican US Representative with the aim to switch the House to Democrat in 2026 and foment the impeachment and removal of President Trump. Yet, in the lead up to the election we hardly saw a sign for the democrat candidate, but the republican signs were everywhere we traveled. That election also had a voter ID referendum on the ballot which won overwhelmingly, but somehow, the anti-voter ID candidate for Supreme court also won. That just doesn't happen!
It's not the people who vote that count. It's the people who count the votes.

That has always been the playbook. Do you think we will ever get this corrected?
Perhaps? It seems to be a case by case jurisdiction by jurisdiction by jurisdiction situation. The presidential election of 2024 being an example. The Jacobins that ran the 2020 Color Revolution and stole that presidential, thought they had "24" in the bag, only to be surprised. We'll have a better idea after the"26" elections. "We should be unfaithful to ourselves if we should ever lose sight of the danger to our Liberties if anything partial or extraneous should infect the purity of our free, fair, virtuous, and independent elections. If an election is to be determined by a majority of a single vote, and that can be procured by a party through artifice or corruption, the Government may be the choice of a party for its own ends, not of the nation for the national good."

Fellow Wisconsinite here. Unfortunately, you speak the truth.
“an election commission all of whose terms had expired years ago but remain in their position” - just wow

nice find.

Here's the link to the court documents.

The story is almost exactly the same as the one last week.

I think I heard Jonathan Turley say Biden’s DoJ ended up dismissing that case
No more sanctuary courtrooms. Now, let's start arresting the mayors and governors employing the sanctuary city/state bullshit.
Oh geeze…. It’s a sobering day when The Peter Principle manifests in our judicial system…. This judge is hardly Intellectually or emotionally equipped to preside over a courtroom.
Then there's her honorable K. Brown Jackson of the Supremes. What an intellect!
Any judge that laments how troublesome it is the First Amendment is “getting in the way of the government doing its job” should not be on the Supreme Court. Period.
ya think?
I was just the use of the VA Peter principles today.
So they don't have enough evidence to arrest the felon's attorney too, apparently, but I would give it a try on aiding and abetting...
Once that defense attorney went through the private door, she should have stopped and said to her client, “I am advising you, as your attorney, to go back into the courtroom with me. I can’t make you go, but it is in your best legal interest to do so. I am going back into the courtroom. To do otherwise would be a violation of the attorney ethics rules.” Then, she should have gone back into the courtroom with or without the client. To keep going once she realized what was happening converted an innocent following a judge’s instruction to aiding and abetting (accessory after the fact).
I am also a public defense attorney. Court appointed. I am also, by the fact that I am a member of my state’s bar, an officer of the court. The actions of the judge and the defense attorney are ethical violations and criminal violations, however the judge is in the most hot water. Her judicial oath holds her to an even higher standard.
The higher standard was what I kept thinking while reading this. And the idea of doing something illegal for moral reasons--like helping a slave--is not something, in my opinion, that is an option for a judge. The only time I can imagine this being a factor for a judge would be when sentencing someone. If a judge wants to do illegal things for righteous reasons, they should quit their job first.
8 USC 1324. Lock her up!
I didn't see any charges of 8 USC 1324 used against this judge. I wonder why not.
Trump uses that existing law just once, and the alien issue fixes itself over a very short timeframe. They will self deport, as their will be no housing, nor jobs available to them.
That's something I continue to wonder about. Homan was spouting 8 USC 1324 for a good while and now he's silent. We are running out of time.
I absolutely love your articles. You hit all the targets dead on and bring the receipts every damn time. Legacy media look like delinquent kindergarteners who can't manage remedial journalism next to your PhD. Whoever you are, I think I'm in love. LOL
Dugan is The Law the way Fauci was The Science. It's all about sweet sweet grift.
Assuming she’s convicted, let’s see how she’s sentenced. Anything less than the maximum under the sentencing guidelines would be a travesty. She’s not someone caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. She’s a judge, authorized to “apply the law”, not “apply ideology”.
She'll get probation because of the jurisdiction.
Which will demonstrate further what's really wrong with our judicial system. She's just a "symptom" of the system.
Judges who themselves ignore the law cannot be trusted to impose verdicts and sentences on others.
