“A Circus-Like Atmosphere”: Nessel Drops Charges Against University of Michigan Anti-Israel Protesters

Roughly a year ago, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel made a splash in the press after she brought charges against anti-Israel protesters at the University of Michigan. The move followed a refusal of liberal local district attorneys to prosecute the cases despite clear criminal conduct. Now, as violent and disruptive protests are again rising on our campuses, Nessel has followed her local counterparts and dropped all charges in a bizarre, convoluted rationalization.

The Michigan protests involved a variety of crimes as students disrupted classes, trespassed on property, caused property damage, and assaulted law enforcement. However, Washtenaw County prosecutor Eli Savit would only charge about ten percent of those arrested and later dropped all those charges.  Wayne County prosecutor Kym Worthy dropped all five Gaza protest cases forwarded to her office by Wayne State University police in Detroit. The University of Michigan regents pressed Nessel to charge those protesters involved in illegal conduct. She did so last September, bringing charges against 11 individuals, including seven felony prosecutions.

That move was not popular with the left as figures like Rep. Rashida Tlaib lashed out at Nessel, who declared, “You would expect that from a Republican, but not a Democrat, and it’s really unfortunate.”

After those criticisms, the cases seem to have gone nowhere. The lack of action led this week to the dropping of all charges against the seven protesters facing felonies.

Nessel, however, offered little more justification than the cases were causing her criticism and controversy:

When my office made the decision to issue charges of Trespassing and Resisting and Obstructing a Police Officer in this matter, we did so based on the evidence and facts of the case. I stand by those charges and that determination.

Despite months and months of court hearings, the Court has yet to make a determination on whether probable cause was demonstrated that the defendants committed these crimes, and if so, to bind the case over to circuit court for trial, which is the primary obligation of the district court for any felony offense. During this time, the case has become a lightning rod of contention.

Baseless and absurd allegations of bias have only furthered this divide. The motion for recusal has been a diversionary tactic which has only served to further delay the proceedings. And now, we have learned that a public statement in support of my office from a local non-profit has been directly communicated to the Court. The impropriety of this action has led us to the difficult decision to drop these charges.

These distractions and ongoing delays have created a circus-like atmosphere to these proceedings. While I stand by my charging decisions, and believe, based on the evidence, a reasonable jury would find the defendants guilty of the crimes alleged, I no longer believe these cases to be a prudent use of my department’s resources, and, as such, I have decided to dismiss the cases.

So she “stands by” the original charges and she believes that a jury would convict. She also said that a claim of bias against her was baseless. However, she wants to get rid of them because they have “become a lightning rod of contention.” In other words, she is getting criticism from the left.

There was this quaint notion that prosecutors are not supposed to yield to such political pressure.  Her solution to the “circus-like atmosphere” is to release the dangerous attractions.

If she hoped to bolster her standing on the left, it does not appear to have worked.

Samantha Lewis, one of the protesters, called AG Nessel the “top pig” and said she was a coward.

So, as more violent protests have erupted on campuses, Nessel is shrugging and walking away. The campaign against her worked, and, as with earlier violent protests, prosecutors are yielding to the demands of the far left. We saw the same pattern with the riots in states like Washington and Oregon. Even federal prosecutors under the Biden Administration dropped or significantly reduced charges in major cases. That includes the absurd handling of two Molotov-cocktail-throwing lawyers.

In the meantime, Rep. Dan Goldman (D., N.Y.) has called even the investigation of violent protesters and arsonists on the left “political weaponization” of our legal system.

At the same time, many have fueled the rage. It has given both students and non-students a sense of license. Across the country, liberals are destroying Tesla cars, torching dealerships and charging stations, and even allegedly hitting political dissenters with their cars.

In Minnesota, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty (D) declined to charge state employee Dylan Adams for vandalizing Tesla cars and causing more than $20,000 in damages despite surveillance footage of Adams vandalizing the vehicles.

Recently, affluent liberal shoppers admitted that they are shoplifting from Whole Foods to strike back at Jeff Bezos for working with the Trump administration and moving the Washington Post back to the political center. They are also enraged at Mark Zuckerberg for restoring free speech protections at Meta.

One “20-something communications professional” in Washington explained, “If a billionaire can steal from me, I can scrape a little off the top, too.”  These affluent shoplifters portrayed themselves as Robin Hoods.

Politicians and commentators have sought to excuse or explain the growing violence. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., said to Joy Reid on MSNBC why Luigi Mangione allegedly murdered UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Warren offered a “warning ” that “you can only push people so far.”

Others like former Washington Post reporter Taylor Lorenz gushed over Mangione as homicidal but hunky: “Here’s this man who’s a revolutionary, who’s famous, who’s handsome, who’s young, who’s smart, he’s a person who seems like he’s this morally good man, which is hard to find.”

The combination of encouraging politicians and enabling prosecutors is fueling a rise in political violence that could quickly spin out of control.

  1. Just what do you expect? You allow protesters to cause a million dollars worth of damage and let them off scott free, you don’t prosecute shoplifters for stealing less than $995, you bail out protestors who were fiery but mostly peaceful in Seattle, you allow millions of people to cross the border illegally and in all these instances you somehow expect that you won’t get more of the same. The reason that you let all of this happen is because you do indeed want more of the same. Some Democrats believe that they are moderates but when you vote for the people who want all of the above you are either a radical or you have been fooled. Fool you once shame on them fool you twice shame on you. Especially when they fool you for the third time, the fourth time etc. etc.etc. My daddy always voted Democrat so I vote Democrat doesn’t cut it. I know because my daddy was a Democrat.

    1. They weren’t let off scott free. They were prosecuted by the DA’s. They pled guilty and because they were first-time offenders they qualified for a diversion program that is available in Michigan which allowed them to complete it and have the charges dropped.

      The AG had a bias problem with statements made prior to the charges and a letter to the judge which was highly inappropriate. That forced the AG to drop the charges because the case was too tainted with bias and an appearance of partiality from the letter. It was a major screwup on the part of the AG and those wanting to help the AG.

      1. George, did they campus rioters pay for any of the damages? Did the shop lifters give back any of the things that they ripped off? Are any of the arsonists and killers in Seattle still in jail? Once again George the know it all is an expert in the law just like he is an expert on MS-13 tattoos. Bring up a subject any subject at all and you will soon find that George the know it all has an opinion. Hey, just because he always leans against anything what Professor Turley writes we shouldn’t think that George is a know it all on any and every subject. Then again, yes we should.

        1. I don’t know about the campus rioters and those that caused damage if they paid. But I do know they were arrested and prosecuted.

          All I did was research further than Turley did and found out that his take on the issue is wrong. You didn’t show any reason why to would be unless you have other information that would prove me wrong.

      2. George, from the state of Michigan law. Eligibility: Diversion programs often target first-time offenders and those charged with non-violent misdemeanors or low-level felonies. To anyone with any common sense the riots were not non-violent and the destroyed property to the tune of a million dollars does not qualify as a low-level felony. Being a know it all and a lawyer who knows everything about MS-13 tattoos these are things you should know. Excuse us George if we don’t come to the conclusion that you know it all.

        1. Thinkitthrough, Hooray! You went ahead and did the work. Good for you.

          Now, here’s the problem with your conclusion. There was no riot. These were protesters engaged in…protesting. There was on violence either. Intent to resist law enforcement is not violence it’s a non-violent misdemeanor. Even the low level felonies counted. So they did qualify for the diversion as first time offenders and therefore had their charges droppped when they met the conditions of the diversion.

          Riots..ROFL! Conflating protests with riots. Hilarious. Great job though you did some research! I give you credit for that.

    2. Outlaw demonstrations. They are harmful to people and property. The weaponized demonstrations.

  2. When do once-free Americans return to enjoying their genuine constitutional rights and freedoms?

    When do once-free Americans return to enjoying a judicial branch that is capable of reading the Constitution with comprehension and implementing it?

    When do once-free Americans compel their judicial branch to extirpate its arbitrary juristocracy and void all acts contrary to the manifest tenor of the Constitution, present and past?

    Answer: When President Trump suppresses the rebellion.
    _______________________________________________________________

    “[A] limited Constitution…can be preserved in practice no other way than through the medium of courts of justice, whose duty it must be to declare all acts contrary to the manifest tenor of the Constitution void. Without this, all the reservations of particular rights or privileges would amount to nothing…To deny this would be to affirm…that men acting by virtue of powers may do not only what their powers do not authorize, but what they forbid.”

    – Alexander Hamilton

  3. Going to double dip. I have no patience remaining for those that are so insulated from daily life that they do not notice any of this is a problem. These are the aristocracy, or their useful and likely very poor by comparison, minions, and we couldn’t hope for them to understand what a free, self-directed life even is. They are the actual slaves. This has been the case for time immemorial, and I guess the *actual* inbred and indoctrinated royal r**ards will never get the message. This is like the 14th century all over again. Screw these people. I do not even understand what they are fighting for anymore but their own demented thinking and personal comfort. Do bot believe a word of any of it. These people are not your friends, and they do not give a crap about what happens to you in the firestorm of their policy.

    Younger voters: wake up, if you want a future.

    1. Why does my av keep changing? I am using the same credentials. Registration might be a good thing here. . . .

  4. I went to a restaurant last night and I found that the fountain drink machine was not working, so I was unable to dispense the lemon-lime soft drink that I sometimes get. I guess you could say that it was the “indispensable Sprite”.

  5. Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel and the incoherent, counterproductive communists (liberals, progressives, socialists, Democrats, RINOs, AINOs) are teaching the children and students of that Great State practical and applicable lessons in life (sarc/on).

  6. Who is fooling whom ? There will be rising social tension and conflict as America’s Islamic communities grow ever more bold; Actively pursuing the creation of new cities centered around Mosques as well as embracing Sharia Law.

  7. The only law enforcement is that which is maliciously conducted against the president; true criminals are set free.

    The singular American failure is the judicial branch, with emphasis on the Supreme Court.

    1. Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is clearly an “impartial” and “non-political” referee (sarc/on).

      How long do once-free Americans have to bear this communistic “juridical” corruption?

  8. Wait – “NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW”, but these Judges are allowing it. It is Judges duty to uphold the law, regardless of their personal beliefs. Shouldn’t these Judges be fined and even better yet, FIRED?

  9. As we have seen largely in the execution of lawfare (defense and prosecution) the last 16 years, the standard for suborning justice is to present the “I don’t approve of this happening” rhetorical position, then take declarative action (e.g., even file charges), then suppress the actual prosecution of those actions until the gas light has faded via four means:

    1) Deny the resources exist required to pursue
    2) Stall until the case until the statute of limitations has expired
    3) Judicial or prosecutorial suppression of evidence
    4) Classify the evidence (“secret” or “sensitive”) to suppress case presentation

    There’s nothing new about this. An example would be The position Henry IV took when “recognizing” the wrongfulness of the Assassination of Richard II

    (From Richard II Shakespeare play, Act 5, Scene VI)

    Lords, I protest my soul is full of woe
    That blood should sprinkle me to make me grow.
    Come mourn with me for what I do lament,
    And put on sullen black incontinent.
    I’ll make a voyage to the Holy Land
    To wash this blood off from my guilty hand.

    1. Bringing Shakespeare into this is a sweet touch. Create a bane so we can follow your comments as we ignore many Anonymous idiots.

    2. NOTE: Henry IV never did actually show any atonement for the ordered assassination – his action was restricted to “see how wonderful I am for expressing regret”. He would have made a great Michigan Attorney General.

  10. Turley– “The combination of encouraging politicians and enabling prosecutors is fueling a rise in political violence that could quickly spin out of control.”

    Danton. Robespierre. Etc, etc etc

  11. “We didn’t start the fire. It was always burning”, said the worst attorney.

  12. Dear Prof Turley,

    The mob is fickle my friend. ‘Anti-Isreal’ protesters are all the rage nowadays. .. but it wasn’t always so.

    1. Yesterday you protested against the KKK, but today you protest for terrorists who like the KKK hide their appearance and call for the death of another group of people.

  13. OT, back in Washington State, prisoners go to whatever gender prison the “feel like” at the time, so if a hulking 6’4″ man wants to get it on with female inmates, he can just say he feels like a woman, and they transfer him. Once he gets there – surprise surprise – he terrorizes and rapes the female inmates. Nice job Washington State, that woke mind virus you are suffering from is really working out well for ya.

    1. OldManFromKS,
      A year or two ago, NPR ran a lengthy article, interviewing a “trans” guy who was in a men’s prison and how hard it was to be “trans” in a men’s prison. They then mentioned about a women’s group in the failed state of CA, trying to get “trans” men out of women’s prisons. Of course what NPR failed to mention was the women’s group was for protecting women’s rights as those “trans” men would beat up, rape and even got a few of the women prisoners pregnant.

      1. Upstate – it’s really odd how the woke mind virus, being a product of the extreme left-wing, is anti-woman. It makes no sense, meaning, it’s a mental illness.

          1. And the Left, which used to be the home of the anti-war movement, is now all in for a forever war in Ukraine.

            The Left also used to be against illegal immigration, which puts downward pressure on the wages of blue collar workers. Again, they have now flipped 180 degrees on that. Maybe because they now consist of coastal wealthy elites, who like the low cost of their Mexican gardeners and are insulated from the violent crime committed by many of the other illegal immigrants.

            1. OldManFromKS,
              Gets even better, from The Free Press, TGIF issue, Nellie Bowles makes this observation,
              “Socialists for Free Trade: Now that tariffs are MAGA-coded, socialists are realizing that these were perhaps a bad idea to begin with. And so suddenly, the left is turning pro–free trade and anti-tariff, a complete flip. Here’s Bernie Sanders on CNN: “It’s a bit arrogant to say, ‘Well, kids may have a smaller number of toys, and the price may go up a little bit.’ I think billionaires like Trump and Musk do not have a clue about what it means for a working-class family trying to buy presents for the kids or to take care of the basic necessities of life.” I love it! Bernie led a movement that fought hard against free trade for decades—like his own Senate page literally says he “helped lead the effort against disastrous unfettered free trade deals with China, Mexico, and other low-wage countries.” All we needed was one Trumpo and every socialist in America is waxing poetic about cheap China-made toys on Amazon and how they are the American dream. Same-Day Prime Delivery is a human right! To hell with unions; what America needs are the absolute cheapest clothes you’ve ever felt, polyesters that turn entirely to dust on the first wash. Unironically, I love that Trump tariffs have made free trade cool again. Neolibs are back. Together, drinking delicious Colombian coffee and then Ethiopian coffee because we can, we will win. (Bernie Sanders also flies private now.)”

  14. Turley is falsely insinuating that the protesters succeeded in bullying the AG into dropping the charges becasue they are a mean violent bunch. Not even close.

    Turley left out the fact that the AG made statements showing bias and a letter from a Jewish non-profit to the judge which IS inappropriate whith gives an appearance of trying to influence the judge. All are good arguments to dismiss the charges and that’s what happened. The AG and the Jewish group screwed up. It was not because the protesters were successful in forcing charges to be dismissed. Turley didn’t want to admit that this was due to bad decisions from the prosecution and a Jewish group mucking it up for the AG.

    1. Rashida Tlaib and some of the defense lawyers smeared Nessel with claims she was biased against the defendants. I am not aware of anything that the AG said indicating bias against the defendants. Rather, the claims of bias seem to be rooted in the fact that she’s Jewish and that some of the U. of Michigan regents and other persons contributing to her campaign were supporters of Israel. These claims were reprehensible and the court should have made short work of them. As for the Jewish non-profit’s foolish communication with the Judge, why should that have any bearing on the case absent some proof that the AG’s office participated in the ex party communication? Turley got this right. The AG caved to pressure from the left wing of her party that doesn’t want to be seen prosecuting pro-Palestine protestors, even if they committed assaults, vandalism, etc.

      1. HTC2,

        There are specific rules in place for every case so that all parties receive a fair trial. Sending the letter and the AG’s past statements provide enough proof of bias against the prostesters. The AG being Jewish and the Jewish non-profit sending a letter directly the judge is an improper attempt to influence a judge. The AG was correct in dismissing the charges because the letter could be used in court to show that there was possibility of undue influence on the judge by a group that seems to be in league with the prosecution. Even an appearance of impropriety can be enough for a mistrial. Rather than go thru an embarrasing revelation in open court the AG had no choice but to dismiss the charges.

        1. “There are specific rules in place for every case so that all parties receive a fair trial. Sending the letter and the AG’s past statements provide enough proof of bias against the prostesters. ”
          ROFL
          Anyone send a letter to the judge – they should also send it to all other parties. If they do not the Judge should provide it to all other parties.

          There is a rule – constantly violated, about ex parte communications.
          But ex parte letters are trivial to fix – share them with everyone.

          Judge’s are not allowed to be biased – proscutors are.
          There is a reason that Trump put more effort into targeting judge enmoron and merchant.
          The standard to prove bias by a prosecutor that requires their removal is incredibly high.

          Prosecutors can be biased.

          There are very SPECIFIC things they can not do or say. but general bias by a prosecutor is presumed.

          It is far harder to remove a prosecutor than a judge and judges are rarely removed.

          Finally – if the Judge has actual confilicts – get another judge.
          If the prosecutor has unacceptable biases – get another prosecutor.

          What you do not do is drop the case.

          “The AG being Jewish”
          Is irrelevant.
          “the Jewish non-profit sending a letter directly the judge”
          Is fixed by sharing the letter with everyone.

          “is an improper attempt to influence a judge.”
          If true – you sanction the non-profit.

          “The AG was correct in dismissing the charges”
          Nope. If there were real conflicts – and you are not even close to that,
          You assign another judge and prosecutor.

          “because the letter could be used in court to show that there was possibility of undue influence on the judge by a group that seems to be in league with the prosecution.”
          Even if true – you sanction that group, that is it.

          “Even an appearance of impropriety can be enough for a mistrial.”
          How did that work for Trump ?
          Relatives making money off the outcome of the trial
          Prosecutors who campaigned on “get Trump”.

          Impropriety up the wahzoo.
          No dismissals, no recusals.

          “Rather than go thru an embarrasing revelation in open court the AG had no choice but to dismiss the charges.”
          False and not how things work.
          The remedy for an ex parte letter is to share it – that is all.

          1. John, they didn’t share the letter. Thats the problem. The case was already a mess. The AG had to drop the charges. It sucks, that’s how it went. They screwed up.

    2. George;
      Does it matter ?

      Shouldn’t the AG be prosecuting violent crimes – regardless of who committed them or who is pressuring who ?

      AG’s do not have pardon power – but that is what this looks like.
      Gov. Whitmer can pardon these people if you really think there is a good reason to do that.

      We listened to you lefties rant about J6 – the ACTUAL violence at J6 was minimal and most people would have supported reasonable prosecutions for ACTUAL violence.
      Instead Democrats politicized it, and lots who people who should have spent little or no time in jail were gulagged and eventually everyone was pardoned.

      He we have real violence and no prosecutions.

      Typical left wing nut double standards.

      I have no idea whether or who pressured the AG.

      What I know is that should not have mattered.

      The AG should have prosecuted actual crimes committed ONLY those committed, and not politicized this one way or the other.

      1. John. Was Jewish non-profit sending a letter to the judge inappropriate?

        According to the rules in Michigan it’s a big no-no. It is considered an ex parte communication that gives an appearance of impartiality. That’s one problem for the AG and the judge and the case.

        “Shouldn’t the AG be prosecuting violent crimes – regardless of who committed them or who is pressuring who ?”

        Well there were misdemeanors mostly and the felony charges were hard to prove. The DA’s dropped the charges on all of the protesters because they pled guilty in a plea deal that required them to participate in a diversion program that Michigan has for first time offenders. Once the requirements were met the charges were dropped. That’s what Turley conveniently omitted in his attempt to smear ‘the left’ as bullies pressuring the AG. He was not even close.

        “He we have real violence and no prosecutions.

        Typical left wing nut double standards.”

        Typical ignorance from you. They were prosecuted for the violence John. The DA’s charged them with the crimes and they all pled guilty. But, in Michigan there is a diversion program aimed at 18-26 year old first-time offenders called the Holmes Youthful Trainee Act. Look it up. Once they completed the diversion all charges were dropped. There is no double standard. They all followed the law and they all got prosecuted.

        The AG who is Jewish which Turley didn’t bother to mention after calling out the DA’s as liberals was not a double standard?

        The pro-Palestinian protesters being prosecuted for misdemeanors by an Jewish AG and difficlut to prove felony charges AND a letter sent to the judge by a Jewish group showering support to the AG tainted the case with the appearance of bias and impartiality. The judge and the AG knew this would be a big problem if the case were to continue. The AG was forced to drop the charges because of the stupidity of the Jewish non-profit’s wish to help the AG. It was not because the left nuts were succesful in pressuring anyone. The AG and the letter screwed everything up and Turley is too absorbed in blaming the left for it to notice that fatal mistake of the AG and the group wanting to help him.

  15. (None Dare Call It) Treason of the Judiciary
    Thursday, April 24, was a day like any other day – the sun came up, the sun went down, and Donald Trump was hit with at least three nationwide injunctions by federal district court judges.

    That’s just the way it goes if you are a president who wants to take back America from the entrenched left-wing bureaucracy and restore common sense to government before it is too late.

    The danger of the bureaucracy was predicted by Julien Benda in his 1927 book “The Treason of the Clerks,” which warned of the danger of the intellectual class adopting political passions that had previously been the sole domain of the masses. We see this most distinctly today in the federal bureaucracy, which I dare say has the greatest concentration of degree-holders from Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia (and the like) of any sector in the nation, other than the incestuous universities themselves. …

    1. The Treason of the Intellectuals
      By: Author(s): Julien Benda, Roger Kimball

      Description:
      Julien Benda’s classic study of 1920s Europe resonates today. The “treason of the intellectuals” is a phrase that evokes much but is inherently ambiguous. The book bearing this title is well known but little understood. This edition is introduced by Roger Kimball.

      From the time of the pre-Socratics, intellectuals were a breed apart. They were non-materialistic knowledge-seekers who believed in a universal humanism and represented a cornerstone of civilized society. According to Benda, this all began to change in the early twentieth century. In Europe in the 1920s, intellectuals began abandoning their attachment to traditional philosophical and scholarly ideals, and instead glorified particularisms and moral relativism.

      The “treason” of which Benda writes is the betrayal by the intellectuals of their unique vocation. He criticizes European intellectuals for allowing political commitment to insinuate itself into their understanding of the intellectual vocation, ushering the world into “the age of the intellectual organization of political hatreds.” From the savage flowering of ethnic and religious hatreds in the Middle East and throughout Europe today to the mendacious demand for political correctness and multiculturalism on college campuses everywhere in the West, the treason of the intellectuals continues to play out its unedifying drama.

  16. Jonathan: Well, as a good Catholic I’m sure you are excited that yesterday the Cardinals selected someone from Chicago, your home town, as the next Pope–Pope Leo XIV. The first American Pope. Of course, DJT was disappointed he was not selected. He is now claiming the election was rigged. DJT was disappointed for another reason. The new Pope has been a vocal critic of DJT and JD Vance’s cruel deportation immigrants. This prompted Laura Loomer to remark: “He is anti-Trump, anti-MAGA, pro-open borders and a Total Marxist like Pope Frances…” The only Q is whether Loomer will allow DJT to attend the inauguration?

    1. Popes are inaugurated? Just when I think you can’t get any more retarded, you always manage to surprise me.

  17. Our Judicial system has strayed from its classical foundation and has allowed emotion, rather than fact and logic to infiltrate the very fundamental processes of producing soundly based critical thinking and has, sadly to observe, a humanistic, emotional and squishy factor into our court system and it starts with our broken academic system.

    How to erase several generations of citizens who have been steeped in this irrational mode of thinking, at this point, I believe is undoable. The larger question is to truthfully ask if we have a viable court system at this time, and, if not, how do we construct such a system from the ruins that the progressives have left for us.

  18. I have the perfect immediate resolution to address our constitutional compromised rogue judges who have crossed the line. And, I trust Dr. Turley will implement this or his version to end this judicatory madness, and can do so, by the end of the day. It’s easy, he knows friendly district judges so, file a suit against all federal judge(s) with a complaint to cease and desist with any and all district judge decisions having any jurisdiction beyond the case before them specifically the plaintiffs and defendants. Yes, complete duplicity, but this is apparently what is meeting the legal threshold, no? And I thank you in advance JT, this could be a Obi-Wan Kanobe message, no?

    1. Then a federal judge would have to decide a case involving the jurisdictional authority of federal judges. How do you think that one will come out?

      P.S. you might say all federal judges would have to recuse, but then under the rule of necessity, they wouldn’t (the rule of necessity is that when all judges are out, there’s nobody left to adjudicate, so they are all back in).

  19. I have the perfect immediate resolution to address our constitutional compromised rogue judges who have crossed the line. And, I trust Dr. Turley will implement this or his version to end this judicatory madness, by the end of the day? It’s easy, you know friendly district judges and file a suit against all Federal judges who have strayed out of their lanes, and do a cease and desist order to all district judges or whomever or however the case has needs to be written, as the plaintiffs and defendants before them apparently meets this threshold, no? And I thank you in advance JT, this could be a Obi-Wan Kanobe message, no?
