Mehta is not the only judge on the D.C. District Court to express open contempt for Trump and his supporters—but he is by far the most powerful.
Judge Amit Mehta sounded perturbed, to say the least.
The D.C. District Court judge handling numerous January 6 legal matters, including the Justice Department’s high-profile prosecution of the Oath Keepers, flatly dismissed concerns by defense attorneys that the first trial in the case will coincide with public hearings held by the January 6 Select Committee later this year.
“Even if Congress is on the steps of the courthouse reading the [final] report, I am not moving the September trial,” Mehta warned during a status hearing last week for nine Oath Keepers accused of seditious conspiracy among other charges.
Mehta’s outburst was telling. In any other jurisdiction in the country, a political stunt by a handful of partisan lawmakers would be widely criticized as an unfair hurdle for defendants facing trial on the same issue at the same time—especially for an exceedingly rare crime, akin to treason, for which the government is seeking life in prison. Further, any frustration would be directed at the politicians interfering in such a serious prosecution, not at defense attorneys protecting the best interest of their clients.
But of course, that isn’t the case in the District of Columbia. (See any lawsuit filed during the Trump era as evidence.) The tawdry marriage between Democratic Party politics and the legal process in the nation’s capital is routinely blessed by federal judges duty-bound to referee that line. And no one better represents the Beltway bench’s flagrant disregard for political interference than Mehta.
Appointed to the court by Barack Obama in 2014, Mehta, who emigrated with his family from India as a toddler, has taken judicial activism to a new level

Presiding over show trials to destroy political enemies has always been a leftist dream.
long past time WE start protesting outside the homes of these sc*mbags. Turns the tables on the left
An innocent person must resort to a good defense lawyer.
There are nine opportunities for a defense lawyer to prove his/her skill.
It is most improper to protest at a public official’s home.
Besides the scumbags will not be dissuaded.
Maybe Conservatives should show up at the judge’s house with a mob and scream and picket. Apparently it’s okay to do so now, I mean look at Alito.
Just another POS from a POS nation.
“It is most improper to protest at a public official’s home.”

My grandfather (GF) was a judge in Montana for 37 years.
One night he had a protest outside of his home: The KKK were burning a cross. My GF was presiding over a murder trial and the accused was a black man. The KKK told my GF to find that N—— guilty tomorrow or my GF would be dangling from a tree tomorrow night.
The man was innocent and my GF ruled as such (not a jury trial) the next day.
Six months later one of those goons in the robes and KKKooky hats was arrested for the said murder and my GF sentenced him to the gallows.
So much for protesting at an officials home for that guy...
Why don’t YOU do just what you are suggesting we do and see how quick you get arrested and sentenced to the max by the scumbag Judge Amit Mehta.
This communist judge is the first of many foreign trash that need to be impeached and deported.
The Judge is the seditionist.
He is a problem that is easily solved
And this is the crux of the problem. No one person... can address this problem properly.
It needs to be a lot of people.
I would love to but I am in NY. If he has a NY address let me know and I will go about organizing a protest. If someone organizes a protest outside his home in DM, freep mail or ping me and I will do my best to train down and attend. In the past I’ve done one man protests outside moveon house parties. I am more than happy to put my money where my mouth is
Until we start treating the left like they treat everyone else and pray their game nothing will change
DC not DM
That’s a racist comment, especially the second part.
This guy was NEVER qualified to be on the US District Court to begin with. He was barely 40 years old and did not have much of a record prior to being appointed by Obama.
Come 8 months from now, there is going to be a lot of changes. The Rats are not going to know what him them.
To paraphrase Fritz Hollings, there’s to much impeachment going on!
Wasn’t this ahole one of the dirty ones on the FISA court?
Being a bad judge does not make him “foreign trash” or subject to deportation. There a few racist comments on this thread.
Defecating in the streets or on sidewalks is an accepted behavior there, is it not?
Send Amit back to India. His culture is very different compared to native Americans, and he will never adjust. His culture is extremely repressive and he cannot accept cultural freedom as is apparent to a native American.
