The trial of Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan began this week. Yesterday, the defense was delivered a blow from the testimony of the judge, who Dugan enlisted to confront ICE officers seeking to arrest an illegal alien in the courthouse. Judge Kristela Cervera testified that she was pulled into the dispute by Dugan, who she said admitted that she was trying to help Eduardo Flores-Ruiz as he evaded officers.
Many of us were wondering who the second judge was who appeared in the hallway wearing her robes. It is irregular to see judges outside of their courtrooms wearing their robes.
Cervera said that Dugan specifically told her to keep her robe on and that she was reluctant to do so: “I didn’t want to walk in the hallway with my robe on.” Dugan, however, allegedly wanted the agents to see them in their robes as a sign of authority.
She said that the agent remained respectful but that Dugan was getting upset in the confrontation: “Her irritation seemed to progress to anger. I thought she could have been a little more diplomatic.”
That coincides with the testimony of FBI Special Agent Jeffrey Baker, who stated, “I would say angry is the best way to describe it.”
Likewise, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer Joseph Zuraw stated that Dugan ordered him to “get out” of the public hallway and told him to go to the chief judge’s office. She then allegedly helped the suspect escape through a side door.
Cervera also testified that she was “shocked” by Dugan’s later conduct and that “judges should not be helping defendants evade arrest.” She added, “I was mortified. I thought that someone may think that I was part of some of what happened.”
Cervera said she was shocked by attorneys praising her for helping Flores-Ruiz escape. She described attorneys pumping their fists and telling her, “You go, Judge,” and saying, “Judge, you’re ‘goated’ now.”
She said that she avoided Cervera but ran into her in an elevator. She noted that Cervera told her she was “in the dog house” with the Chief Judge for trying to help Flores-Ruiz.
The testimony supports the allegation that Dugan knowingly sought to help Flores-Ruiz and that her actions were outside her role as a judge in the courthouse.
Dugan is charged with obstruction of a federal agency, a felony, and concealing a wanted person, a misdemeanor. As I discussed in earlier columns, the defense may be hoping for jury nullification in the liberal district. The reaction of lawyers lionizing the judges for facilitating the escape of a suspect may suggest that such a conclusion is possible in this district. The defense may be hoping that at least one juror will discard any testimony and stand with Dugan against ICE and the Trump Administration.
The jury pool can only be viewed as overwhelmingly in favor of Dugan. Kamala Harris won Milwaukee by a margin of 68%-30% over Trump. The chances of getting politically motivated jurors are obviously significant, though that obviously does not mean that jurors cannot be persuaded in the end by the strength of this evidence.
What she did is utterly lawless, regardless of outcome due to said law, and it is just shameful. I doubt very much anything meaningful will come from the proceedings – this is just who the modern left are. We can quote intricacies of law all we like – the dems don’t care, and they do not intend to abide by any of it; not now, not going forward. There is a line between the past and the future, and we are on the other side of it now, the modern left will never be ok, ever again.
That’s about the size of it.
The left is a civilization-destruction hate cult. Here is a typical hateful leftist berating an elderly woman for wearing a Freedom shirt associated with Charlie Kirk. Imagine the depth of hate and depravity required to go up to an elderly lady and berate her with questions like “Are you f—-g stupid?” Yet this is not even an outlier for the modern left, which celebrated with joyous rapture all over social media when an innocent husband and father of two young children was cruelly murdered, and makes folk heros out of assassins.

OldManFromKS,
Oh, gets better, Woman who went viral for saying she would poison white MAGA families’ food with Windex, feces, bathroom cleaner is daughter of Dem Virginia lawmaker
https://thepostmillennial.com/revealed-woman-who-went-viral-for-saying-she-would-poison-white-maga-families-food-with-windex-feces-bathroom-cleaner-is-daughter-of-dem-virginia-lawmaker
In Virginia the voters actually elected someone who said he wanted two bullets in his opponents head, and for that person’s young children to die. Something has gone very wrong in the formerly great commonwealth of Virginia.
As Andre Toure’ coined it in 2008, Obama ushered in the Ni 66 erization of America. He was cancelled not too long after that. I think he was spot on.
Trump’s children defrauded people over funds intended to help children suffering from cancer. Actual deeds vs. idle threats.
Clinton’s ripped off millions contributed for Haitian earthquake victims. Bill stuck cigars in Monicas hootyhoo to savor the flavor later. Hildabeast perpetrated a fraud against a duly elected President costing taxpayers $42 million dollars. Obama was a coke dealer and knob gobbler.
What other deeds you got?
Again a vague claim without sources or credibility.
You do not seem to grasp that if you write it – most of us will KNOW it is false.
joyous rapture is redundant.
Still, I saw no one celebrating but the ones on the Right that Charlie Kirk’s death could be used as a political tool and non-stop core for advertising, just as you are doing here. Given the way Charlie worked, it really is in keeping with his memory, but it is still a distasteful thing for those on the Right to do.
Compared with Trump’s comments over the murder of two loving and caring parents who did the best they could for their son the raising of Kirk to that of a golden calf to be worshiped is not unexpected. After all, he did his best with over $80 Million in annual backing from millionaires and billionaires to plant the seeds of unrequited discontent in the minds of the children he groomed.
As long as there are juries, jury nullification is possible. The only way to prevent it is to get rid of juries, or amend the Constitution so that an acquittal can be judicially overturned (right now the double jeopardy clause makes acquittals final). That would remove a shield against prosecutorial abuses by the state. And in the end there would still be the possibility of corrupt judges, as we saw so vividly in NYC in the Trump cases. The underlying problem is the inherent flaws in human nature which lead to both error and deviousness.
What an utterly stupid comment.
Ooooh, somebody is easily triggered.
oldman makes comments that reflect his intellect.
Correct, the judges do matter as to what they permit and do not permit.
Well said.
Thank You.
Judge, you moved me, but I want to know for sure
Few people mention what may be the worst thing that Dugan did. She didn’t have the case called in open court, but instead instructed her staff out of public hearing to continue the hearing.
At the end of court, the ADA and the witnesses were still sitting there, waiting for the case to be called.
Stupid witnesses, I guess, sitting there for hours with their stupid bruised faces, waiting to testify.
Judge should be fired and disbarred for abusing her office in this way.
Good point
Proclamation 80—Calling Forth the Militia and Convening an Extra Session of Congress
“On April 15, 1861,…President Abraham Lincoln issued a proclamation calling forth the state militias, to the sum of 75,000 troops, in order to suppress the rebellion. He appealed ‘to all loyal citizens to favor, facilitate, and aid this effort to maintain the honor, the integrity, and the existence of our National Union.’”
Proclamation 92—Warning to Rebel Sympathizers
“[On] July 17, 1862,…I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, do hereby proclaim to and warn all persons within the contemplation of said sixth section to cease participating in, aiding, countenancing, or abetting the existing rebellion or any rebellion against the Government of the United States and to return to their proper allegiance to the United States on pain of the forfeitures and seizures as within and by said sixth section provided.”
________________________________________________________________________________
Abraham Lincoln was a Great American President.
Now President Donald J. Trump MUST implement his rendition of “The Lincoln Era,” close the border, rescind rebel sanctuary cities, compassionately repatriate all illegal and unassimilable aliens, issue mass temporary work permits with no path to citizenship, revoke birthright citizenship, make English the sole official language, commence a war to defeat the rebellion, impose martial law, suspend habeas corpus, “smash” rebel printing presses, networks, podcasts, and social media platforms, and imprison political opponents and rebel judges, all in order to save, not the Union, but the Nation, eradicate the communist American welfare state, and place America squarely back on the Constitution and Bill of Rights, including absolute freedom, free enterprise, free industries, free markets, private property, and minimal taxation and regulation, alongside infinitesimal constitutional government.
Acts of obstruction of justice, rebellion, and insurrection.

The “Anonymous” Confederate Kluxxer version of George/X has been day drinking his sister’s cooking sherry too soon today.
Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan and judges and justices throughout the country are engaging in acts of unconstitutional usurpation and exercise of executive power and the power of the commander-in-chief, obstruction of justice, rebellion, and insurrection.
🦌It’s 7 days till Christmas already, What you getting Us Jonathan? 🎅🏼
*. This is another flaw in the judicial system. If the jury nullifies the law it affects every courtroom in the US. In such cases a jury is writing new law. 12 people are writing law for everyone.
Is there any appeal or recourse to the prosecution? The Constitution perhaps in usurping the power of the people represented by legislators? The idea of political persecution in reverse as political nonprosecution?
It’s a form of fraud, theft. Utilizing personal beliefs to nullify the law is theft as the general population is entitled to the law. Dugan in essence is a fraud and thief and so goes the jury.
IMO
Sorry, while I hope that we do not see jury nullification here. Jurry nullification is NOT a flaw in our system it is a check on the system.
It is one small check on runaway prosecutors and laws.
But it is an impefect check.
I am perfectly OK with Dugan getting off through jury nullification, even though that is wrong, to keep jury nullifaction in our system.
What is unfortunate is that today jury nllification only works one way.
So what you are saying is that when the Jury pool is 100 Islamic and a Islamic Jihadist is charged and tried with killing their daughter for marrying outside their religion and the jury nullifies the charges based on a pervers Islamic Law, there isn’t a problem with the Judicial system???????? I say BS.
Here, here
If your hypothetical were to actually ever happen – then YES.
If a jury nullifies the accused is acquitted.
So jury nullification is not prohibited and is fully constitutional?
You are so right.
And secession is and was not prohibited and is and was fully constitutional.
Every act of Lincoln, subsequent to his unconstitutional and illegal denial of secession, was and remains unconstitutional and illegal and must be corrected retroactively, including the repeal of illegitimate amendments to the Constitution, such as the so-called “Reconstruction Amendments,” and the reimplementation of duly legislated Acts such as the Naturalization Act of 1802, which was in full force and effect during Lincoln’s term.
And secession is and was not prohibited and is and was fully constitutional.
That tired old racist Kluxxer Democrat lie. SCOTUS dealt with this BS when it was attempted by one of the losing slave states just a few years after your slaver forefathers lost the war of insurrection they started.
George/X, it’s not like you haven’t seen that SCOTUS cite many times before that blows your Confederate Proclamation out of the water when you’ve copied and pasted your racist Democrat shyte.
It’s 2026, not 1826 – and you’re not getting black Americans back to serve as your Darkies.
So, is that semantic debacle an argument for or against the law?
You continue to present positions at variance with the facts and the law.
Perhaps the facts and law are optional in your opinion.
Indeed, secession is fully constitutional as fundamental law, just as constitutional as the decision of a jury.
Oh, and Lincoln was a wholly unconstitutional, tyrannical dictator, entirely bereft of even a scintilla of legal basis.
The 10th Amendment might be edifying on secession, were you able to read it with comprehension.
Perhaps the facts and law are optional in your opinion. Indeed, secession is fully constitutional as fundamental law, just as constitutional as the decision of a jury.
Feeble projection tied to lies, George/X/Anonymous. SCOTUS long ago rulled that your Democrat Slave State insurrection was factually illegal and unconstitutional. You’re claiming you have the option to ignore that. That’s nice…
Your declare you were robbed of black Americans you consider to be nothing but Darky draft animals, but it’s 2026.
If you want to try playing Democrat Confederate Kluxxers versus the Union again… go borrow a set of balls from your sister and give it a try.
Let everybody know when you feel you’ve grown a few inches of spine and are ready to take appointments to make those infamous Kluxxer house calls. No dout there’s hundreds of thousands of black Americans pushing and shoving to be next in line for you to try your Democrat Kluxxer shyte with.
I’d pay money for a ticket to watch jellyfish like you actually try it.
“And secession is and was not prohibited and is and was fully constitutional. ”
nice try, try again?
Well, last time dems tried that they got their asses handed to them by the very first republican.
Everything old is new again and dems never learn.
Let’s have Luigi Mangione acquitted by the jury. They’re cheering, offers to marry.
It’s a two way street. It’s wise to choose where to live now and where to break laws. Dugan could have had a change of venue? DJT should have had a change of venue. No person should be tried in Fulton County. Tina Peters, Colorado, 70 yo, was sentenced to 9 years in prison.
Is it lawful to deport illegally present people in the US? Is it lawful to have a border? Is it lawful to require visas and passports? Is it lawful to illegally enter the US and declare asylum? Is it lawful to marry your brother?
Foolproof laws
So what YOU’RE saying is:
“So what you are saying is that when the Jury pool is 100 Islamic and a Islamic Jihadist is charged and tried with killing their daughter for marrying outside their religion and the jury nullifies the charges based on a pervers Islamic Law, there isn’t a problem with the Judicial system???????? I say BS.”
Have I got that right?
American juries choose to send people of sub-moron intelligence to the gas chamber from time to time, even keeping them on life sentences for cases where someone else provides a detailed explanation for evidence that was found at the scene and not released in the public record, simply because they did the crime and don’t want to see another punished for it. Reaching back a bit, recall a similar circumstance of nullification in the murder of Emmett Till, killed because someone claimed he talked to a White woman. These are all the existing perversion of US Constitutional Law.
BS
The application of law has become a joke. Americans are seeing criminal charges being continually dismissed due to some BS technicality drummed up by an activist impersonating a judge. You could have DNA, eye witnesses, a confession and these Democrat Communist authoritarian POS still walk every instance.
When the law fails vigilantism avails, it’s almost like that’s what they want.
There are lots of problems with out justice system.
Guilty people are RARELY let go.
Innocent people are rarely convicted.
The bigger problem is that an essential part of govenrment is increedibily slow and inneficient and understaffed.
People are released awaiting trial – because there is no place to put them.
Judges dismiss more minor offenses – because their dockets are full of more serious offenses.
This problem is worse in deep blue cities – but it is present everywhere..
Justice delayed is justice denied.
John Say says: Guilty people are RARELY let go.
I don’t know what the origin of that proclamation is, but it is in direct conflict with what North American criminologists believe about those who become defendants in criminal trials.
Thosevwho become defendents are at the pointy end of the upside triangle which is referred to as the dark figure of crime.
Agreed, these 3 name liberal women judges reserve sentences, no jail time with alcohol or drug rehabilitation and released. Over and over and over.
These lawfare judges sure seem to have a lot of time on their hands what with going after their political targets all day.
Denying justice to the serfs as they work on their ‘hobbies’. They think they are our betters and know better.
Egomaniacs.
How ’bout this law: “The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America”?
The judicial branch usurps and exercises executive power constantly, oh, and it usurps and exercises the power of the commander-in-chief repeatedly.
Well then it’s a flaw john Say. There’s a hole in the dyke. The question is : can that hole get a plug. Is there an appeal of any kind.
Sorry, the writing must be unclear. Thank you, I’ve tried to plug the hole in the writing. Jurry got passed spell check? 😂.
The mythical ‘Jury Nullification’ is like bigfoot, doesn’t exist. How can you prove a juror voted ‘wrong’?
Jury nullification doesn’t alter the interpretation of laws in other cases.
It really doesn’t even exist. It’s just an idea humans can have when they are exercising one of their roles in self-government.
That’s why it’s a jury of your peers. Your peers might have an idea, sitting on your jury, that there is some prejudice to you and are morally right to exercise their right to absolve you and do so. It’s the application of the morality of your peers to the issue. Morality has always been a bulwark to tyranny. No one can tell a juror how to decide but judges are bound strictly to the law.
Trump is whoring out American principles for Babylonian oil.
That was amazing how you named all the principles Trump is supposedly whoring out. Your comment was so specific and detailed, it made responding really easy. Thanks so much for contributing to an in-depth, detailed analysis of the issues America is facing.
Where were you and your Babylonian proclamation for the eight years Obama whored out American principles in Soviet fashion with only the power of his pen?
Or while Bribery Biden was The Pimp In Chief selling America’s ass to the world to line his own pockets?
In hiding… where you are once again after dropping that deuce you posted?

NOPE. That was biden.
“Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power,” Smith said. “Our investigation also developed powerful evidence that showed President Trump willfully retained highly classified documents after he left office in January 2021, storing them at his social club, including in a bathroom and a ballroom where events and gatherings took place.”
We will never know. A jury never heard the evidence and rendered a decision.
But the evidence sure points to a person that flouted the law.
Smith ⬆️ is NOT THE TRIER OF FACT Perry Mason Junior🤪 Nor does he determine Probable Cause🤔.
+100
Perhaps you didn’t read what I wrote. Try again.
I said we will never know. A jury never heard the arguments.
Are you a typical trump suppoter that can’t read more than 1 or 2 sentences like you orange god master dear leader?
You’re the one that can’t read. It was in the news how Smith’s case was a house of cards. All the Trump lawfare cases were.
Your side was found to be officially full of it. No jury was needed for this decision.
A President can declassify anything, anytime. If not, tell me who above the president tells the president what he can and cannot declassify?
reading is fundamental and more information will replace those fantasies you have of how the world works.
Perhaps you didn’t read what I wrote. Try again.
Perhaps you believe we don’t recognize rote copy and past Democrat police state fascist gaslighting?
Or perhaps you believe we’re as mentally deficient as your Pervert In Chief, Bribery Biden… and all of you Furry Trannies who worship his perversions as legitimizing your own.
You chose the wrong form with expectations you would be able to have credibility given due to confirmation bias.
You’ll find that way over on the extreme far left where the rest of Biden’s Alphabet Sex Pervert Tribe hangs out with Rachael Maddow.
You will be welcomed as coming home where you belong once you get there.
Why would you beleive someone who repeatedly violated the constitution ?
Smith had his oportunity to present evidence – he failed.
He is expressing an oppinion – on not supported by actual law.
His “scheme” was the same foundation plan used by the Democrats in Hawaii, several years back. Maybe he should have used the Al Franken plan….
Virginia Republican Gov. Bob McDonnell was convicted through the prosecution of Jack Smith and upheld through a corrupt Virginia appeals and Supreme court for simple purposes of political attack and defamation – which was successful. He destroyed McDonnell. That conviction was overturned by the US Supreme Court (SCOTUS) with an 8-0 unanimous decision. Jack Smith has MANY of the lawfare pursuits supported and promoted by “activists” (read complicity) judges who gag and suppress any defense evidence while instructing the jury of exactly which legal conviction charges (that were not even submitted and overridden as objections when the defense attempts to do so).
Jack Smith seems to have highly repetitive and very a very simple process that makes even tyranny shiver in shame – create and manage a kangaroo prosecution within an allied kangaroo court system – and get those motha’s a ticket to Dachau.
“Which office do I go to to get my reputation back?” — Raymond Donovan, Former Secretary of (leaving the courtroom after a jury unanimously acquitted and announced with a standing ovation on his departure)
But the evidence sure points to a person that flouted the law.
Indeed. The unindicted felon Jack Smith. SCOTUS pointed that out when they unanimously threw out his investigation and prosecution of Governor Bob McDonnell in a lawfare political assassination of the man Obama most feared having to run for reelection against.
They used the words “a threat to our separation of powers”. You probably prefer calling it “flouting the law. ”
And then after that, his fraudulent search warrants in Arctic Frost where he deprived hundreds of Americans of their civil rights through color of law.
But he sure composes stories that make Democrat police state fascists get some wood in their pants. Their very own pet Lavarentiy Beria, minus the pistol to put to the back of his victims’ heads to finish the job.
A small shortcoming – but Democrat police state fascists can’t have absolutely everything… at least not quite yet.
Is this the same judge who helped an immigrant avoid ICE by putting the immigrant in an elevator with an ICE agent?
If that local jury does an O.J. on this woman, who clearly and willfully violated the law, I would hope there would be a federal court remedy.
It seems like “aiding and abetting” would be the obvious violation, and should at least cost that POS her job and, hopefully, time in prison as a deterrent to those like-minded judges out there.
If Milwaukee residents want to pick and choose which laws they will obey and which they will not, they deserve all of the crime that results from Democrat policies in these blue cities and states.
This is a federal jury, and no, they do not get “Do Over” if they lose by jury nullification.
I beleive this is a federal case in a federal court prosecuting a federal crime.
IOf she is aquitted it is over.
Dear Prof Turley,
As a general principle, don’t think ICE/Nat. Guard/Military should be operating in Courts of law.
ICE agents could have simply waited outside and arrested the ‘suspect’ once his trial was concluded. .. easy peasy.
*it’s almost like ICE wants to push a political agenda .. . and the boundaries of appropriate ‘Executive’ jurisdiction.
The courtroom is situated in the United States, where federal LEO’s have jurisdiction. If you personally don’t think they should be operating there, then write to your congressman and senators and urge them to change the law.
Not sure letters to congress or a change of law is needed. .. the courtroom already has LEO’s on duty.
Personally, I would abolish the Orwellian DHS entirely .. . and start over from scratch.
* Before the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in 2002, various federal agencies handled different aspects of homeland security. Key agencies included:
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), which managed customs and border protection.
Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), responsible for immigration enforcement and naturalization processes.
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which coordinated disaster response and preparedness efforts.
You’d have a stronger argument if there was any confidence that Milwaukee LEOs would cooperate with the feds, but they don’t because Milwaukee is a so-called “sanctuary city.”
“Not sure letters to congress or a change of law is needed. .. the courtroom already has LEO’s on duty.”
Not ones sworn to enforce federal law.
“Personally, I would …”
Write your congressmen or get yourself elected.
You can have any fantasy government you wish – in your head.
In the real world the structure of the government is determined by the law and constitution.
I am not personally happy with the post 9/11 restructuring of government and creating DHS.
But border security is a legitimate role of the federal government.
FEMA however has no constitutional justification and is just a waste of meny.
Yes, then after 911 there was a heightened awareness of domestic and international terrorism. Under Obama and Biden DHS furthered terrorism and it continues at a disruptive speed. Congress is on board. The judiciary is on board.
They were not operating in “courts of law” – they were operating in a public building.
Judges have the power to preclude them from entering the courtroom.
But the judges authority – ALL State and local authority over people ICE has a warrant for ends are the doors of the courtroom.
The geographical boundaries of executive authority are the Universe.
The biological boundaries are Members of the executive branch.
Executive authority is the power of he preseident to direct the members of he executive branch.
Dugan is not on trial for violating executive authority or executive orders.
she is on trial for violating federal criminal law.
Congress writes the law – not the president.
dg
*it’s almost like ICE wants to push a political agenda ..
_______________________
But the judge didn’t?
Jezzzzzzzz
The political agenda ICE is pushing is called “following the laws as enacted”. It’s always been a responsibility of the executive branch headed by the president. Biden is the first president to shirk his “executing laws” duties, the typical example of future corrupt self-serving democratic rule for us to avoid.
Plus, Biden still owes me $600 he promised everyone to get elected.
Ddgsnowden says:As a general principle, don’t think ICE/Nat. Guard/Military should be operating in Courts of law.
As a general principle, dgsnowden should lay off day drinking his caretaker’s cooking sherry before posting his inane missives.
*It’s almost like dgsnowden is so desperate to be a Karen that he doesn’t realize that the public areas outside of a courtroom are NOT part of this felon judge or anyone else’s courts.
**Defendants, witnesses, plaintiffs, etc, have been subjected to arrest within criminal and civil trials since long before dgsnowden was born. It is the judge’s courtroom – but isn’t a sanctuary for those subject to arrest.
“it’s almost like ICE wants to push a political agenda”
It’s like dgsnowden is attempting that as grade school level humor while trying to push his political agenda.
Mr. Turley…. if the liberal Jury finds County Judge Hannah Dugan not guilty as you say could happen in this liberal sector… doesn’t the Ethics Commission and State Bar have their own standards? Can this Judge be removed along with her law license ?
Good question. Also who is paying for the expensive lawyers? If she is paying out of pocket I can only hope they drag this out as long as possible or charge her with other crimes or cause a new trial after jury screw up. It’s the Democrat way. Let the legal profession punish her with normal $$$$ procedure.
Tim – anyone can pay for anyone else’s legal expenses.
Prosecuting people for the purpose of wasting their money is a crime.
There is a legitimate case against Dugan.
But there is no recourse if there is jury nullification.
This case is a slam dunk, but if she is acquitted by a jury – that is our system at work – imperfect maybe, but I do not want it different.
Agree. How could it work any other way? MAKE a juror vote they way ‘they’ want?
Not sure this is appropriate. We have, however, seen its success with the complete impoverishment of Michael Flynn. Who, when exhausted of his funds through the infinite “prosecutorial investigation” was finally convinced to throw himself on the sword to stop the same from repeating against his son.
Welcome to America.
That could definitely happen in most jurisdictions. For example, in New York State, ethics complaints have been filed against AG Letitia James. I hope that there is a similar framework in Wisconsin.
Wisconsin, like most states, has a code of judicial conduct. If she violated it, she will receive discipline. If she’s convicted, the conviction will be a violation of the CJC. Even if she’s acquitted, she could be the subject of a disciplinary action, since a judge can violate the CJC even without committing a criminal offense. The most severe discipline for state judges is generally removal from the bench.
oldmanfromkansas says: Wisconsin, like most states, has a code of judicial conduct. If she violated it, she will receive discipline.
Will she? Sure about that? Washington DC has the same. But felon judges, lawyers, Attorney Generals, FBI Directors etc grossly and repeatedly violate that code of conduct without even a written reprimand.
Their fellow lawyers in that jurisdiction like our host here won’t even file complaints as they’re required to do by the same code of conduct.
The point being, why would you believe the legal system and profession operates any different there?
State Bar (or judicial commission or Wisconsin Supreme Court) is NOT going to discipline Dugan without a valid, up held on appeal, conviction. Just not happening.
I beleive Dugan is currently suspended.
The Barr can apply sanctions even if she is acquitted.
It is unlikely they will.
Off topic
Rob Reiner’s son Nick must have had attorney Alan Jackson’s business card prestaged.
There are a couple of scenarios:
An insanity plea induced by meth use.
Or something like OJ Simpson. If the crime doesn’t fit, then you must acquit.
Feel free to add more scenarios.
In addition to being overweight and singularly unattractive, Dugan typifies the growing giddy-like contempt of the TDS-afflicted Imperial Judiciary for the rule of law and the Constitution when it comes to 47’s efforts to correct the serial and manifest outrages of the Brandon marionette regime.
She should be convicted, sentenced to prison and disbarred. We shall see if deep blue-state Wisconsin jurors agree…, but one should not hold one’s breath.
“In addition to being overweight and singularly unattractive”
Thank you for showing us you are nothing but a misogynistic trump supporting AHOLE!
trump has taught you well.
You must be one of those unattractive, overweight childless cat ladies.
P.S. It’s misogynistic to support men beating women and girls in competitive sports and depriving them of scholarship opportunities, not to mention putting men in women’s locker rooms and showers, a practice Trump is trying to stop while you support it. It is also misogynistic to let tens of thousands of criminal illegal aliens in through an open border to assault women and rape them. Again, Trump is trying to stop that practice which Biden supported.
Purple hair with a side buzz cut.
Dead giveaway
But misandry is ok? Nothing wrong with calling Trump “Orange Man” because he doesn’t fit the manly tall, dark, & handsome stereotype? The Left has taught you well.
Quiet piggy!
“Thank you for showing us you are nothing but a misogynistic trump supporting AHOLE!”
This message brought to you by one of Biden’s Alphabet Sex Pervert Tribe’s furry Trannies showing us what he/she/zee is.
Yes, the ones Biden assured that, as long as they claimed they were women, he would support them forcing women and their daughters to be a coerced audience for them to display their junk in front of.
Same Biden manly men who found other courageous Biden men to order women to subjugate themselves to Biden’s Tranny men competing against them in women’s sports.
You fellow perverts of Biden The Pervert In Chief clearly don’t know what misogyny actually looks like in practice.
She crossed the line.
I was on a jury that convicted an illegal alien of punching a cop in the mouth at a party that had spilled into the street at two in the morning.
After the trial the judge came to the jury and said he was surprised at our decision.
Instead of just thanking us for doing our duty he tried to make us feel guilty.
Right then I learned that justice has nothing to do with it. The judge won his next election.
That sounds like a full blown lie. Lot of that on this blog.
If you are going to accuse others of lying – you need compelling evidence – or it is YOU that is lying.
I do not like to accuse others of lying.
But there is so mauch Crazy lying by the left on this blog.
like Denying the existance of things that are public record.
Please note the famous former Solicitor General Paul Clements is a member of the attorney team that defends Dugan.
Okay, what does that mean?
She can’t have the best defense possible?
Better question: I wonder who’s paying for her defense?
Who cares who is paying for the defense. That is not, nor has every been relevant.
Obviously not to you anyway.
It is also not something that anyone has the right to know.
It does not matter if Putin is paying her defense costs.
Neither the left nor the right are entitled to know about the private legal financial conduct of other people.
Dugan is entitled to the best defense she can manage to get.
Defending even guilty people is noble.
*. The feds troll the State dockets daily looking for easy pickins. It’s safer and less footwork. It’s like ambulance chasers.
State judges may not like it because the accused may no show. Then there’s a warrant and State troopers must pick up and Dugan was last on the food chain in the escape phase.
She’s still guilty. There’s a flaw. State LEOs should be required to notify ICE at the warrant level or before. After trial perhaps.
^^^ furthermore, JS, this is a bit like Abrego Garcia’s stop in Arkansas? Was it Georgia? Anyway, carload of illegals, trafficking but the State troopers just said have a nice day.
DHS, Dept of immigration need some new rules. Feds troll dockets , pick up, deport and skrue your State charges. Is that it?
There shouldn’t be abusable laws on the books. It tempts judges and juries to break the law and LEOs, too. It’s a pardon and these do not have that power.

Yet another Moron Magical Moment:
1. The court dockets are a scheduled calender of who is showing up, when and in which courtroom. You don’t need to be “a fed” to obtain the names of who will be appearing. Nor do you have to physically go to the courtroom to get that information.
2. Police hating cowards who never had the stones to wear any uniform also are ignorant of the fact that “the feds” have civilian staff who do the nice safe “trolling” to determine if anyone making an appearance in that court has a current arrest warrant, deportation order, etc.
The guys who DO have the stones to accept the unlimited liability of carrying the badge are spending their time outside of those courtrooms, running down and arresting criminals while office staff are doing the intelligence gathering.
Police hating civilian cowards think running down MS13 thugs is “easy pickins'”
3. The Democrates have job openings for police hating cowards who love and try to defend criminal Illegal Aliens just as much as they loathe and hate ICE officers.
