Federal judge [Robart] declares ‘black lives matter’ during hearing over Seattle police reform
Seattle Times ^

U.S. District Judge James Robart, pointedly reacting to the Seattle police union’s rejection of a tentative contract, said Monday he would not let the powerful labor group hold the city “hostage” by linking wages to constitutional policing.

“To hide behind a collective- bargaining agreement is not going to work,” Robart said during a dramatic court hearing he opened by laying out a path for police-accountability reform and closed with an emotional declaration that “black lives matter.”

Robart, who is presiding over a 2012 consent decree requiring the city to adopt reforms to address Department of Justice allegations of excessive force and biased policing, called for major changes that would directly affect the union’s membership: streamlined appeals of officer discipline and internal investigations conducted by civilians rather than sworn officers.

This judge is insane.

Our society has gone stark raving mad.

Read Romans 1:21 to end of chapter.

God has given our society up to our own lusts. This can be seen most manifestly with our acceptance and legal promotion of the grossest perversions. And can be seen in other ways, such as this judge, along with the current SJW, leftists, etc.

He’s a left-wing activist— He’s not a judge.

Congress conferred this power on the District Courts and they could remove it.

Judges make their decisions on the LAW and the CONSTITUTION period, not their agenda, personal feelings, or stupidity

Newt had a plan and process to clean out rogue Fed judges. I’d ask him to be a Judge Czar.
