    Laube deserved a light sentence, Carney said, because prosecutors should have focused on leftist groups

    As if it has any bearing on this guy’s guilt or innocence.

    I should have realized when they were complaining about “Activist judges” what they meant was there weren’t enough on their side.

      Keep in mind that with the radicalized right wing, it is ALWAYS projection. This cannot be overemphasized.

    Carney succeeded Virginia A. Phillips as Chief Judge of the Central District of California on June 1, 2020.[8] However, he stepped down on June 26, 2020 in light of allegations that he had made racially insensitive comments regarding the Clerk of the Court, Kiry Gray, who is African American. Carney referred to Gray as “street smart” and telling her “it was not like I was the police officer standing on your neck.”[35][36][37] Carney apologized to Gray for the remark.

    Casually racist… shocking…

    This is how they justify half the evil shit they do… make up lies saying the left is doing it too so they need to do it to make it fair.

    Demand that these fucking outlets don’t get away with plainly saying “judge”, with no additional qualifier, in the age of trump and the federalist society. A “judge” is now longer an impartial, qualified, thing that deserves the same universal recognition, respect and acknowledgment as it once may have.

    The republicans have broken that pact with society, and no longer taking “judge” at face value is one of the consequences. Fucking puppet clown is a more appropriate title for these wholly corrupted, incompetent pseudo authorities.
