Hannah and Her Cellmates

We all - well, most of us, anyway - laughed, didn't we?  When judges started issuing orders that Trump didn't like, he threatened to have them arrested, and we thought he was all bluster.

Then the unthinkable and inevitable happened.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation tried to arrest a migrant who was in the middle of appearing in a Milwaukee court - as a defendant - before Milwaukee County district court judge Hannah Dugan.  Judge Dugan ordered the FBI agents out of her court room for interfering with due process of law.

Now friends, there was only one of two things the FBI could have done, and the first was that the Justice Department could have given Judge Dugan a certificate of appreciation for how she carried out interpretation of and equal justice under the law, which wasn't likely, and no one expected, and the second was that Kash Patel could have bawled out Judge Dugan for attempting to exert county authority over federal authority, which was pretty much what folks expected, but there was a third possibility that no one had even countered upon, and she was arrested . . . in her own courtroom . . . for interfering with the arrest of the defendant in her own courtroom.

There are no words.

If the feds can arrest county judges, you can bet they'll arrest county . . . residents!

But you probably haven't heard about this, because the folks covering the Trump regime were too busy patting themselves on the backs at the now-meaningless White House correspondents' dinner this past Saturday night. 

And the county judge . . . who held a grudge . . .
