Above the Law

Timothy Birdnow

She must have just watched Sylvester Stallone in Judge Dred "I am the law!"

Activist Judge Facing Prison Time for Helping Illegal Alien Claims She’s Above the Law

From the article:

"In response to the indictment, (judge Hannah) Dugan’s legal team has filed a motion to dismiss the charges, expanding upon an earlier request.

Her attorneys argue that she is protected by judicial immunity for actions taken in her official capacity.

The defense further asserts that the prosecution violates the Tenth Amendment and the constitutional principle of separation of powers.

"The indictment itself is an ugly innovation. Its dismissal will not be,” Dugan’s legal team wrote in their memorandum.

Dugan is not accused of accepting bribes or violating anyone’s constitutional rights.

Her attorneys emphasized that judges can be charged for conduct "wholly unrelated” to their judicial duties, but maintain that Dugan’s actions do not meet that standard.

But this was NOT action in service to her official duties; it was rather her political opinions put into action using her status. A judge can't be arrested for exercising their duties but this was just interference with those lawful agents who were enforcing Federal law. THAT is illegal.

And since when have liberals or judges concerned themselves with the Tenth Amendment? It's ignored as if it were not there.

But in this case she can't even make that argument; this is a clear mattter of Federal law; the person being sought was an illegal alien, and the Constitution is quite clear on who runs tHAT show. SHE is in violation, rather, of the Supremacy Clause which states that in key areas involving things like national security or immigration the Feds and the Executive Branch are supreme.

As for judicial immunity, does that mean she can take out a gun and shoot someone in her courtroom? Does that mean she can not pay taxes to the IRS?

And it is SHE who was meddling in Separation of Powers, usurping the authority to enforce the law granted expressly to the Executive Branch of government.

It's a ridiculous argument.

Of course in modern America she may well win at the lower court levels, especially being a judge. Other judges will be reluctant to send one of their own up the river lest it happen to them when THEY pull something like this.

I conclude with a quote from Al Pacino in And Justice for All as I am dragged from the courtroom "this concludes my opening statement!"

P.S.  I want to come up with some insulting nickname for this woman. Any submissions?
