I didn’t know that judges can order such things.

Remove the quisling judge from the bench, he has NO Authority to Order the DA to do Anything.

And this judge is far from happy about that.

Since when does a judge have the authority to decide WHO charges must be brought against? That is an executive function.

How the hell can a judge order prosecution???

Not good.

The DA is not right (from what I know of the case), but that doesn’t mean the judge has power to order prosecution.

Reminds me of the Massachusetts Supreme Court directing the Massachusetts state legislature to write a law legalizing marriage between homosexual marriage.

Activist maybe but the judge is right on this one.

IIRC, the man responsible is gay and was texting. And again IIRC, the decision not to prosecute was a PC one. He is in a protected minority.

The engineer committed the crime while driving an Amtrak train. Amtrak is funded by the federal government and the head of the organization is appointed by POTUS with approval of the U.S. Senate. So charges should be file in U.S. District Court. Philly is chock full of homos and the DA is probably bowing to pressure from that interest group.

I’m sympathetic but this strikes me as gross judicial overreach.

Judges should meet some sort of mandatory minimum requirement for knowledge of the law.

A little refresher on the real question never answered:

1) "GotNews IDs Gay Activist Train Engineer Who Caused Amtrak Crash"

2) "Disaster: From Target Cashier to Amtrak Engineer"

3) "QUOTAS KILL? Philly Death-Train Engineer Was Dubiously-Qualified 32-y.o. Gay Rights Activist..."

Amtrak Policy: "Our diversity training program is designed to be an ongoing journey that emphasizes key principles of diversity and inclusion."

“The train was traveling 106 mph, more than twice the posted speed limit, when it entered a sharp curve at Frankford Junction and derailed.”

Local coal trains around these parts don’t travel that fast. What was this man on?

How can a judge possibly *order* a prosecutor to file charges against someone?

This is the one I’ve been waiting for. By now, 75% of his bro activists will have moved on to other hysterias, and maybe there’s a chance of convicting this killer of innocents.
