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.

Ok, so you are not getting it. She was arrested for adjudicating a case. Not hiding someone in her basement.

Oh, I “GET” exactly what happened here. A sitting judge assisted a person subject to compliance with a lawful order and helped that person evade custody.

If you or I did such a thing for a person subject to an order from the judge, this same judge would lock us up for it.

This is what I meant about getting too far out over our skis. Stuff like this is HORRIBLE for making claims of authoritarianism, because as soon as you look into it beyond a headline, it falls apart. Then Dems look like the boy who cried wolf.

DP. No. ICE did not have an arrest warrant from a judge. They just had an administrative warrant similar to a subpoena. They can wait outside like everyone else, and the judge does not have to allow them entry.

Arresting immigrants at courthouses is bad policy, as most everyone already knows. Trump doesn't care about policy because he doesn't think long term, when something goes wrong he blames someone else and quits/declares bankruptcy/sure. That's not working well for him in negotiating peace or in these taritf "negotiations" and it won't go well for him here.

Democrats are upset about this because they would like to obstruct immigration enforcement.

Trump tried this before and lost

He’s still mad about a dressing-down over not having a tie.

If a judge distracted prison officials after a trial to allow a rapist to escape, would this be all right? Why or why not?

This judge exceeded the scope of her authority to abet a defendant's escape from justice. The fact that judges are traditionally not tried for such behavior doesn't change that her behavior is still unlawful. Plain and simple.

If you direct the target of a federal warrant to an escape route that allows them to evade capture you have committed a crime.

Yes, a judge can be arrested for breaking the law or driving under the influence. That isn't what happened here.

Oh and guess what, Trump is now immune from everything. Is that a correct judgement?

This is the authoritarianism in plain view. If you were not concerned before, you should be now.
