In its two-page order, the court said it was acting to protect public confidence in Wisconsin courts during the criminal proceedings against Dugan. The order noted that the court was acting on its own initiative and was not responding to a request from anyone. Liberal justices control the court 4-3.
“It is ordered … that Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah C. Dugan is temporarily prohibited from exercising the powers of a circuit court judge in the state of Wisconsin, effective the date of this order and until further order of the court,” the justices wrote.
This judge’s wikipedia article in 25 years will be the one everyone else will have wished to be about themselves.
For it will show proof of the judge trying to stop them.
So, federal government goons can just crash in to your court proceedings and kidnap people, and if your state judges try to stop them from doing that you’ll punish them by removing the power to hear cases that was given to them by the voters of the state, and that is supposed to restore confidence in Wisconsin’s court system? Like, did they just not say it out loud all together like that before putting out this ruling or is the Wisconsin supreme court really this stupid?
Smells like compliance
In advance, no less.
hey when are we going to do something violent? i’m getting real tired of fascism going completely unchecked. what the fuck are we fucking doing? i can’t do it myself can somebody help me please.
Ok, officer.
that is very insulting. i would rather be dead.
Oh, well if you’re not clumsily trying to entrap people with your week old account, then this is a really dumb post.
You don’t need other people to do violence, and if you’re trying to organize violence on a larger scale you sure as shit shouldn’t be doing it on a public message board.
i wouldn’t organize it here i’m just venting out of frustration. and yes, we do need violence.
Start with your local mutual aid group and SRA.
i am rather far from either, unfortunately. i am trying to start something local though.
Fuck these fascists.
These aren’t the fascists, they’re enablers. Just as culpable for the fascism, but doing it in pursuit of a facade of being above such trivial things as the real world context of the complaint.
Fuck these spineless failures whistling their way to the grave.
it is a liberal-majority on the state supreme court.
they made the move to protect the integrity of the judicial process–not to further a maga agenda.
Continuing to work with all their power to not offend the fascists taking over this country and destroying political freedom
That’s what they said.
But protect the integrity of the judicial process from who? From Homeland Security?
Fascist collaborators are also fascists.
Shh. You’re getting in the way of their reactionary knee-jerk with your facts and “having read the article”.
The order noted that the court was acting on its own initiative and was not responding to a request from anyone
That’s a totally legitimate thing to say when nobody was really asking all that. Totally.
Eh, AP is a wire service. They report on the basics of events so other news agencies don’t need to.
They reported why they were arrested, according to the affidavit, and basic description of the interaction between the judge and law enforcement.
They also reported statements from people defending the judge, but none of them brought up the details of the cops being cruddy.The relevant facts of the story are that a judge was arrested for showing someone through a door they usually wouldn’t use, the high court put them on indefinite leave for the duration of the case, and these people say it’s a breach of separation of power.
Until someone connected to the story in some way actually makes the argument that the cops weren’t impacted by the door choice, it would be editorializing to add that question.
An FBI affidavit says Dugan was “visibly angry” over the agents’ arrival and called the situation “absurd” before leaving the bench and retreating to her chambers. It says she and another judge later approached members of the arrest team inside the courthouse with what witnesses described as a “confrontational, angry demeanor.”
Yeah no fucking shit, I’d be pissed off about someone invading my courtroom too.
