Reminds me of the time the Travis County DA got hooked for DUI, abused the Travis County Jailers to the point they strapped her to a chair with a spit shield, and then tried to get away with just attending rehab without court time.
Needless to say someone leaked the video that she didn't want out there - starting with the traffic stop, through her admissions at the lockup - because she didn't want to 'besmirch the name of the Travis County SO' - and she resigned as DA.
Rosemary Lehmberg. The fun part that no-one talks about is how the Texas Public Integrity Office -- that investigated public officials for corruption -- was a division of the Travis County DA's office. So Rosemary -- a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat -- was in charge of investigating elected and other public officials.
Snort.
Doing much better now that the Texas Rangers took over that duty.
I want to know where in this banana republic you can still get a decent donut for a dollar, because they're all over $2 around here after Bidenflation.
I completely concur with you. We are told that ignorance of the law is no excuse. This should go double for judges. These judges knew they were violating the law. They need to be prepared to accept the consequences.
We have seen way to much judicial activism (on both sides of the aisle). It is now time for them to face the consequences.
When I was in law school, we toured 201 Poplar right before they opened the jail. We went throught the courts as well, including the grand jury room. Our Criminal Law professor was a retired defense attorney felt compelled to point out that they had rubber stamps for "true bill" (indictment ) but had to write out "no true bill" (dismissal of the charges). The District Attorney General giving the tour was not amused.
And the laws that are about the same size as an epic fantasy series. That have contradictory phrasing throughout so that, no matter what you do, you're going to be guilty of violating it. I'm all for starting over and redefining all the laws to where each one is no more than a page or two in length and understandable by a fifth grader. (After I thought for a second I realized that I didn't just pull the grade out of thin air but was subconsciously thinking about the gameshow hosted by Jeff Foxworthy.)
Yes, that bastion of "Justice", the New York State Supreme Court. A Gov't branch, created by, supported by a corrupt gang of politicritters. A true sausage factory.

Still got preferential treatment in the courts.

I dunno, Kamas. When I am jonesing for a Krispy Kreme doughnut, money is not an issue.
There's no Krispy Kreme in Fargo anymore. I think the closest is in Iowa now.
Driving distance is not an issue either when the urge hits.
