[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This young man needs to be held accountable for his actions. What can we do to change the way this was handled?[/quote]

Vote Republican.  Duh.  [/quote]

Oh, hell no. Today's Republicans all hate America and everything it stands for. They staged a violent insurrection and tried to interfere with the peaceful transfer of power. They're hell bent on stripping away our rights. Screw that. Vote blue, no matter who.[/quote]

Once again.......YOU voted for this.  You want changes and improvement, but keep voting the same way, despite one party clearly wanting to push law and order hard, but that's not good enough for you.  Next shootings in DC (sadly will be in the next 24 hrs)...go to the crime scene, and tell everyone you dont want to vote in people that will do a cleanup.  [/quote]

The judge is federally appointed. DC voters didn't vote for him. [/quote]

Does anyone know who appointed him?[/quote]
Judges are appointed by the DC Judicial Nomination Commission who members are appointed by:

- President of the United States (1 lawyer member)
- Mayor of the District of Columbia (2 members, one  must be a non-lawyer)
- District of Columbia Council (1 non-lawyer member)
- Chief Judge, US District Court for the District of Columbia (federal judge)
- DC Bar (2 lawyer members)[/quote]

Thank you. So the District played a role. And who was the appointing president?[/quote]

The commission simply makes nominations. The judge in this case is a magistrate judge. Magistrate judges are not appointed by a President but rather the Chief Judge. As another poster has said, the Chief Judge who made the appointment is Lee F. Satterfield. Satterfield himself is a George H.W. Bush nominee (confirmed by the Senate).

The insinuations you make about Satterfield are gross when the truth is that Satterfield is a Black man from DC who worked at DOJ before being appointed to the bench. [/quote]
