A federal judge rejected the argument that US Capitol rioters held in jail are being prosecuted for their political views and disavowed attempts to downplay the magnitude of the deadly insurrection during a sentencing on Wednesday. "You called yourself and everyone else patriots, but that's not patriotism," Judge Amy Berman Jackson said of defendant Karl Dresch. "Patriotism is loyalty to country, loyalty to the Constitution, not loyalty to a head of state. That is the tyranny we rejected on July 4." Jackson, known for her sharp criticism of the Trump administration's moves, called Dresch an "enthusiastic participant" in the effort "to subvert democracy, to stop the will of the people and replace it with the will of the mob."
The federal court in Washington, DC, has repeatedly acted as a referee about the severity of the January 6 attack, with several judges expressing their disgust with defendants' actions and the shocking violence and details being made public as Capitol riot cases move through the courts and prosecutors reveal evidence they've gathered.

Your name goes on the list too honey.
Funny coming from someone whose head was stuck up Omaba’s backside.
Wow.
The projection is strong with this one.
“Now box before Biden and pledge your undying loyalty... or else.”
She is a confessed traitor to the Republic.
You don’t define patriotism for me, *itch.
Bow... Not “box” obviously.
> Jackson, known for her sharp criticism of the Trump administration’s moves, called Dresch an “enthusiastic participant” in the effort “to subvert democracy, to stop the will of the people and replace it with the will of the mob.”
the will of the people was to re-elect Trump. He got more votes than any sitting president in history. But non-legislative changes to election law “because of covid”, different standards within a state for “curing” ballots, and late night ballot drops. it’s clear that the fix was in a the mob stole the election.
What’s more loyal to the country or the constitution than to stand up and demand the process be transparent and not blindly accept one side’s conclusions?
DC has CCTV cameras everywhere. How is it that footage of the events of that day have not been released?
Well, loyalty to the Constitution excludes every last Democrat and too many elected Republicans who are loyal to Arbitrary government.
"Patriotism is loyalty to country, loyalty to the Constitution, not loyalty to a head of state. That is the tyranny we rejected on July 4."
July 4 is about the right of the people to throw off an entire government.
The king had his minions. Berman is a minion in a federal government that is radically outside of its constitutional boundaries. Of course she is going to assert her own legitimacy, no matter what. Just as the king's minions asserted theirs.
Hitler was a patriot - shows what the label "patriot" is worth.
The Bolshevik Berman Jackson gives a Stalinist lecture.
And adopts the mantra that the Biden Conspiracy started pushing well after The Steal...once they thought they had defeated all the legal inquiries.
Amy is anti American, an American Domestic Enemy
The only patriotism she shows is when she picks her paycheck up every two weeks.
ALWAYS.
Tell that to Biden and the CDC.
As a Judge, she's supposed to be impartial, and non-biased, but like many liberal Judges, they've never been able to keep politics out of their courtrooms.
“Patriotism is loyalty to country, loyalty to the Constitution, not loyalty to a head of state”
Ok, since you were nominated by an illegitimate Kenyan in lieu of President, you should exhibit your loyalty to the Constitution by resigning from the bench immediately.
What the heck is she talking about?
Protesting the stolen election is a demonstration of loyalty to both America, and the Constitution.
How could she not understand that?
