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

They also argued that the concept of #JudicialImmunity protects #judges from undertaking official acts related to their judicial office. That includes a judge’s ability to run her own courtroom, they argued.

Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan's argument on judicial immunity lacks foundation, according to a piece in Lawfare.

In my opinion, regardless of what I think of this specific case, broad judicial immunity for actions which are at best on the periphery of a judge's duties is a bad idea.
