  1. Dugan’s attorneys have accused #federal prosecutors of overstepping their #constitutional #authority by interfering with a #state level #judge.

  3. #Judges appointed by presidents of both parties have often agreed. None have taken punitive action to try to force #compliance, however, allowing the admin’s defiance of orders to go on for weeks or even months in some instances.

    Outside #legal analysts say #courts typically are slow to begin #contempt proceedings for #noncompliance,
    especially while their rulings are under appeal.

  4. @ErikJonker @geopolitics expect after #migrants arrest more #democrats #judges to be arrested too. The concentrationcamps must be filled. #hitlers playbook.

  5. The #UN's #HumanRights chief has demanded the #US government withdraw #sanctions it imposed on 4 #judges at the #InternationalCriminalCourt (#ICC).

    #VolkerTürk said in a stmnt that "attacks against judges" run directly counter to "respect for the rule of #law & the equal protection of the law – values for which the US has long stood".

  6. …A longtime force on the #Judiciary Cmte, Mr. #Durbin became its chair in 2021, resisting calls from progressives that he make room for a younger member given his leadership role & other #legislative responsibilities.

    He subsequently oversaw the confirmation of 235 federal #judges during the Biden admin—including one #SCOTUS justice—surpassing by one the number of judges confirmed by #Republicans during an aggressive push in #Trump’s first term.

  8. That instinct stayed w/them. In #1776, the #DeclarationOfIndependence accused the #king of having “made #Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, & the amount & payment of their #salaries.” A decade later, delegates to the Constitutional Convention of 1787, although bitterly #divided about many things, stayed #unified on the need for #independent federal judges.
