America's leftist judges are out of control

[American Thinker] Thirty years of litigation work in the San Francisco Bay Area, which some might consider Ground Zero for activist judges, left me with a deep and abiding disrespect for leftist judges who are more concerned with their prejudices and feelings, than with facts and law. Two recent stories perfectly exemplify this.

The first story involves an Obama appointee who is reaming people arrested because they dared to do what leftists always do: Enter government property, including the Capitol, to protest. The second involves a father who is being barred access to his son until he gets a totally unnecessary vaccine.

Tanya S. Chutkan sits on the United States District Court for the District of Columbia and has been there since Barack Obama appointed her in 2014. She is a stone-cold leftist. In 2017, she ordered the Office of Refugee Resettlement ("ORR") to ensure that a girl in its care got an abortion. Eventually, she ordered the government to make sure that all girls in ORR custody got to have abortions.

Chutkan also ruled against Betsy DeVos because Chutkan felt DeVos wasn’t doing enough to identify racial disparities in children identified for special ed, restrictive classrooms, and discipline. One of the things we know is that ending discipline based on race has been a disaster for schools.

Another Chutkan initiative was to try to block the federal death penalty by claiming that the federal government, by changing its lethal injection protocol, was violating the Federal Death Penalty Act. That decision is now pending before the United States Supreme Court.

But it’s Chutkan’s latest acts of leftism from the bench that are truly disgusting because they punish political opponents: She is imposing harsher sentences on people swept up in the January 6 dragnet than even Merrick Garland’s prosecutors are seeking. Leftists storming the Senate chamber during Brett Kavanaugh’s hearings were exercising their First Amendment rights and avoided serious consequences. Walking through the Capitol if you’re a conservative is a dire crime that must be punished severely.

Chutkan’s take on things is hard left, as happened with Matthew Mazzocco, who was charged with "parading":

#1 Chutkan supports every radical leftest and Obama cause that makes it way to her bench. Want a clue as to where this may be headed? What type of causes and justice do you suppose these people support ?

Please note the diversity and inclusion.

#2 Pound for pound federal district judges are the most powerful figures in the federal system. You can't vote them out of office. No one can fire them. You can impeach them, but only if you have videotape from multiple angles of them sticking their hands deeply into the cookie jar. And the most the appellate courts can do is reverse their rulings and fuss at them. An issue that doesn't get discussed very often is how cases are allotted within a district to specific judges -- it should be basically random, but is it?
