. . ."This makes two judges arrested and two judges who, for all intents and purposes, refuse to adhere to their oaths of office. All four, and many more, see themselves as part of “the resistance.” But what are they resisting? It isn’t just Trump or even the will of the people. It’s the rule of law." . . .
"Last week, after their absurd attempt to make a martyr of Salvadoran deportee Kilmar Abrego Garcia, some Democrats seemed to realize they had committed a political blunder. As Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) put it, “I don’t know if that’s the right issue that Democrats should be focusing on right now.” Many polls, including a CBS/YouGov survey released Sunday, indicate that most Americans support the deportation of people living in the U.S. illegally. Yet, when a Wisconsin judge was arrested for aiding a “migrant” in his effort to escape immigration officials, the Democrats repeated their error.
"If any reader managed to miss this story, Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan was taken into custody by the FBI on Friday and charged with two federal crimes involving obstruction of a federal proceeding and concealing an individual to prevent his arrest. The specific “individual” was Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, a Mexican national living in the country illegally. Judge Dugan foolishly assisted his futile attempt to avoid apprehension at the Milwaukee County Courthouse on April 18, and her subsequent arrest inspired a number of Democrats to issue irresponsible statements such as this one from Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.):
Americans are watching with outrage the stunning news that Trump’s FBI has arrested a sitting judge in Milwaukee for alleged obstruction of an immigration arrest. While all the facts are not yet in, the implications of this arrest are chilling. This is a drastic escalation and dangerous new front in Trump’s authoritarian campaign of trying to bully, intimidate, and impeach judges who won’t follow his dictates. We must do whatever we can to defend the independent judiciary in America.
"Conspicuously absent from this portentous nonsense is any justification for Dugan’s illegal actions. Raskin is the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee and often reminds us that no one is above the law. He has never mentioned a county judge exception. Nor has Raskin’s counterpart on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), who denounced Dugan’s arrest in an Orwellian statement: “When immigration enforcement officials interfere with our criminal justice system, it undermines public safety, prevents victims and witnesses from coming forward, and often prevents those who committed crimes from facing justice …”
"Durbin is clearly a little confused. It was Judge Dugan who “interfered in our criminal justice system” by personally conducting Flores-Ruiz out of her courtroom through an exit outside of which she knew no federal agents would be waiting. As reported by KKTV.com, “Dugan is accused of escorting the man and his lawyer out of her courtroom through the jury door last week after learning that immigration authorities were seeking his arrest.” He was only apprehended because he ran the wrong way after departing the building. Meanwhile, Wisconsin’s Democratic Governor, Tony Evers, condemned President Trump’s administration as dangerous:" . . .
What will it take for Democrats to love America more than they hate President Trump?
UPDATE: Democrats Burn Their ‘No One Is Above the Law’ Card in Response to Wisconsin Judge’s Arrest "One of the most oft-repeated talking points from Democrats and media figures during President Donald Trump’s first term in office and the four years after was “no one is above the law.” They said it in part because Trump had the nerve to fight back in the court of public opinion— and courts of law when necessary — against the Democrats’ blatant lawfare schemes.
"But it didn’t take long before their masks slipped off, once again revealing who they really were underneath: crass hypocrites to whom the rules – and their purported “standards” – don’t apply.
"Such has been the case this week after the arrest of Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan, 65. According to the FBI charging document, Dugan was taken into custody by the FBI for two alleged U.S. Code violations: “Obstructing or impeding proceeding before a department or agency of the United States” and “Concealing an individual to prevent his discovery and arrest.” . . .
"Last but not least, there was this, which is insane when you think about it:
You really can’t make this up.
Last week their crusade was for a confirmed member of MS-13 who beats his wife and was involved in human trafficking.
