Jason Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Quote On March 30, 2016, in an immigration courtroom in Charlotte, North Carolina, a 2-year-old boy was doing what you might expect: He was making some noise. But Judge V. Stuart Couch—a former Marine known to have a temper—was growing frustrated. He pointed his finger at the Guatemalan child and demanded that he be quiet. When the boy failed to obey his command, the threats began. “I have a very big dog in my office, and if you don’t be quiet, he will come out and bite you!” Couch yelled. Couch continued, as a Spanish-language interpreter translated for the child, “Want me to go get the dog? If you don’t stop talking, I will bring the dog out. Do you want him to bite you?” Couch continued to yell at the boy throughout the hearing when he moved or made noise. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2019/09/judge-promoted-by-trump-administration-threatened-a-2-year-old-with-an-attack-dog/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillzdadirecta Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 We really need to look at our judicial system and how we appoint judges in this country. From what I've heard (my friend's mom just go her judgeship and another friend teaches at Berkeley Law) and the stories I've heard about judges across the country is insane. They are essentially above the law for all intents and purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the worst people, it's a fucking dream. All the more reason to abolish lifetime appointments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
