Unless those who administer the law obey the law, the legal system loses any moral content and becomes a mere exercise in raw power.

Honesty is becoming increasingly alien in the wider culture.
I had a similar experience when I failed to come to a compete stop at a revenue producing stop sign in a small town. I believe the overinflated ticket was careless driving. When I appeared at the court, the defender said we could have the charge changed to something revenue producing but without points. I believe it was failure to wear a seatbelt. I declined ( I had been wearing my seatbelt and was not going to lie about it to get the charge reduced.) When I told him as much, he was very surprised. He suggested then failure to obey a traffic signal, which was probably the just charge in the first place.
How I see it, all these judges are playing a very dangerous game of chicken.
Respect and contempt are a 2 way street, and now that the left only see the law having value when convenient, at some point the right may come to see the law as ourtight pointless.
Anarchy begets tyranny, then perhaps a painful correction inevitable.
“Law? We ARE the Law.” Anathema.
How is escorting a criminal out of a side door, knowing that federal officers had an arrest warrant for him, part of her “official duties”? She actually released him when his victim was sitting there waiting for his state trial to begin.
Get her a one way ticket to his country and sit her side by side next to him.
She should hold herself in contempt of court.

Man made laws are for the lawmakers. Divine Justice is equal for all.
That judge is now complicit in every crime committed by the illegal alien including his illegal invasion of the ISA.

The judges signing the letter need to be fired and stripped of their law licenses.
All of us – not just lawyers, politicians, and civil servants – would do well to follow the noble, moral, ethical, and courageous example of St. Thomas More.
