Leftists Are Learning to Their Dismay That Being a Judge Doesn’t Mean You Get a Free Pass to Break the Law

by Bob Unruh, The Liberty Daily:

Prosecutors in Wisconsin have just filed an unusual document with a court: They explained that just because a person is a judge, that doesn’t mean she gets a free pass to break the law.

That earlier was the stunning claim from Hannah Dugan, a now-suspended judge, arguing that prosecutors weren’t even allowed to bring a case against her after evidence showed she distracted federal agents, then let an illegal alien criminal walk out of the courthouse.

Dugan’s claim was that she has absolutely immunity for whatever she does in her courtroom – even in the courthouse building.

Dugan’s claim was that she has absolutely immunity for whatever she does in her courtroom – even in the courthouse building.

Prosecutors now have responded to her claim, explaining “the Supreme Court has made clear that judges are not immune from criminal liability.”

Their filing said, “In the end, Dugan asks for this Court to develop a novel doctrine of judicial immunity from criminal prosecution, and to apply it to the facts alleged in the indictment, all without reasonable basis—directly or indirectly—in the Constitution, statutes, or case law. … In her lengthy memorandum, Dugan concedes that ‘[j]udges, like legislators and executive officials, are not above the law.’ Dugan’s desired ruling would, in essence, say that judges are ‘above the law,’ and uniquely entitled to interfere with federal law enforcement.”

Prosecutors have accused the Milwaukee Circuit Court judge of personally escorting Mexican illegal immigrant and domestic battery suspect Eduardo Flores-Ruiz out of the courthouse. That was after Dugan directed ICE agents to go consult with the chief judge and they left the hallway in front of the courtroom.
