      i get it, we’re just not there yet and there’s still time to buy guns before it happens.

      a judge can’t lie to federal agents who are trying to arrest someone in their courtroom. It sounds like she did.

      this should be encouraging, if anything… this judge put herself on the chopping block in order to defy an immoral but legal order… she’s also probably well versed in the law.

      this is the kind of resistance we need! a great ally, and a heroic act…

      a martyr.

      when they start arresting judges who make rulings they don’t like, that’s the night of long knives rhyming

      we should worry about getting this judge elected into political office or something….

      and also practice target shooting…

        If it’s true. These could be manufactured charges. I don’t trust Patel or the Trump administration to be honest about that.

        Patel in his tweet wrote that the FBI believes Dugan “intentionally misdirected federal agents away” from Ruiz as agents were attempting to arrest him at her courthouse.

        “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,” Patel said in the post.

        And they all clapped at the end.

          certainly could be completely fictional charges… if anyone is equipped to fight that, it’s a judge…

            That’s if they give the judge due process, and don’t just immediately claim she’s guilty- kinda like they’re doing to people they’re deporting already. Not a stretch to just skip her due process at this point.

                And we can ignore the clear pattern of behavior this admin has already shown so far, but that doesn’t make what they are doing any less real; what’s your point?

                How? They’re taking people with no due process and deporting them already. Why would her being a judge make her position any different, if they are skipping due process again? This administration has shown that they don’t care about due process- they just make an accusation, and then go straight to “guilty until proven innocent.”

                  undocumented immigrants vs a sitting judge is a pretty big leap… it’s a lot closer than it should be, but a huge leap still

                    Your point is undermined by the fact that some of the people being rounded up are native, US-born citizens. Which means there is not really any leap to make here.

            We are a long way off from getting rid of capitalism. Best to deal with the liberals and work toward moving left from there. The US has a long way to go.

              btw, didn’t the liberals articulate exactly why Patel should’ve been blocked from his appointment to the DOJ, and then approve him anyways?

              #maskoff they’re working for the same team, and it’s the oligarchs vs democracy

              my enemy’s enemy is my friend…
              but most liberals in power seem to be double agents… saying the party line but doing almost nothing for it….

        a judge can’t lie to federal agents who are trying to arrest someone in their courtroom. It sounds like she did.

        She didn’t give them false information at all, she just told them to go talk to her boss.

        And a federal agent can’t try to arrest someone in a courtroom without a judicial warrant. It sounds like they did.
