No one accused anyone of anything. But we got a yelp right away.
If I were a law-enforcement officer and were asked to be a bodyguard for a judge, any judge, I would immediately consult my list of people for whom I would be willing to die in order to protect them. It’s a short list.
Unfortunately, I don’t see any judges on it.
It seems reasonable to me that a judge ought to be liable to at least someone for a judicial act, especially one as egregious as the one in this article, despite what the Supreme Court - another collection of judges - once ruled. The government, after all, is supposed to have a healthy fear of its citizens.
Need another example? Think Piniellas County, FL and George Greer.
