If you don't agree with a judgment should judges be jailed?

I think the question needs a little more depth. There’s always going to be one person in every court case that does not agree with the judge’s judgment. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that the judge’s judgement is wrong.

However, if the judge is making a decision that is not in accordance with the law or the statute, then that’s a problem and that’s where the judge’s judgement would be wrong and just for the judge to be jailed. Now there’s a Saturday afternoon tongue twister for you.

I have arrested a judge for drunk driving and took a complaint against another for felonious assault that resulted in his conviction, removal from office and incarceration. Judges most certainly can be and should be arrested and prosecuted when they break the law.

There is nothing new here. Judges are human and they screw up. They have always been subject to arrest and prosecution when they break the law.

@bowman81 Disagreeing with a judge's opinion like others said isn't grounds for arrest though. Totally different.
@bowman81 Totally agree, but it’s the second question that’s a bit more problematic. 🥺
When a person commits a serious crime, they are subject to arrest, judge or not.

HOWEVER! Disagreeing with a judge's courtroom decision should NEVER be grounds for arrest. NEVER!!

Well that is how democracy is lost. When a president doesn't like the decision of a judge disobeys the law and then tries to put the judge in jail. Scary times America.

@JimboSaturn Like trying to forgive student loans or vaccine mandates?
@MrBrownstone Student loan forgiveness is legal when they meet the criteria set out in the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program, passed by Congress and signed into law by George W. Bush in 2007. Biden went outside those guidelines briefly, and was corrected. All the subsequent loans forgiveness met the Bush PSLF guidelines.

Vaccine mandates: In 1905, the Supreme Court case Jacobson v. Massachusetts upheld the state's power to mandate smallpox vaccination, even if it infringed on individual liberty. It's been settled law for 120 years now.

Got any more erroneous notions you need corrected??

@MrBrownstone You are aware that our military are required to take a battery of vaccines before being sent overseas....right?

Whoever is saying they should be jailed doesn't understand the rule of law.

Just because you’re a judge doesn’t mean you are immune to breaking the law
@Jenny1234 Alas, we have a president who is effectively a law unto himself. Sounding more and more like a dictator.
I'm waiting - impatiently - for the straw that'll break the camel's back as far as who will be the last SW MAGA nut to finally be convinced Trump is unfit for the job.

Your comment was hidden! WTH??
@rinkydinkydoink Wow, and no profanity or sexual references—just criticism of the president. Censorship here is a fact, now. Even with VIP.

No, that's the start of a slippery road to autocracy.
Not unless they’re doing something illegal. But they can be unseated.
MrBrownstone · 46-50, M
Sure. If one breaks the law.
