So how much more fascism will Americans tolerate before they actually do something.

    throwing judges in jail seems like the very definition of “contempt of court” to me …

      Judges aren’t supposed to be infallable, 20 minutes of watching Court Cam should have taught anyone that.

      with that same principle in mind, I dont know how the same system can make a cabal of “supreme justices” and indemnify them absoluteley. (SCOTUS)

      Now while you dont see Clarence Thomas jumping over the Judge Bench and throwing hands with attorneys like what you’ve seen on A&E shows every couple of months. He did take a staggering amount of Bribes. Still Untouchable.

      Im not in any way agreeing with that Christofascist Bondi, but Im saying Judges are not untouchable, and shouldnt be.

        Of course judges that break the law should be held to account. But the Trump Admin is arresting judges who simply don’t agree with them, and take (legal) actions they don’t like. That is the critical difference. Trump wants the law to be whatever he says it is.
