[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is a judge immune from an obstruction charge if there’s an articulable case to be made they were obstructing?

Or immune from ANY law, for that matter, by virtue of being a judge?

Could a judge be arrested for DUI? Or assault? Or tax evasion?

If yes, then aren’t those also authoritarianism, too?

Democrats are getting too far out over their skis here on this stuff. [/quote]

Ok, so you are not getting it. She was arrested for adjudicating a case. Not hiding someone in her basement.[/quote]. She was arrested for helping an illegal alien avoid ICE.  She will likely be censured by her supreme Court[/quote]

I don't think she even adjudicated the case.  Didn't she sneak him out first?  Not very professional for a judge.[/quote]

If I understand correctly, she didn’t adjudicate the entire case but she conferred with him and his counsel, ex parte, while the prosecutor was in the room but unaware of what was going on. That’s… unconventional. I know an attorney communicating ex parte with a judge is a huge no-no, probably sanctionable. Whether it’s a problem for a judge to do probably depends on the facts. Here, the prosecutor and witnesses were in the courtroom. Instead of calling up the case and including them, she and the guys attorney unilaterally decided to continue the case and picked the next court date. I’ve never seen that happen in 20 years of practicing. I certainly don’t think it’s worth a jail sentence… but yeah she was doing some improper things to help the guy out. [/quote]
