After barring Arkansas from executing eight inmates in rapid succession because of a dispute over how it obtained one of its execution drugs, Judge Wendell Griffen went to an anti-death penalty rally, where he made a stir by lying down on a cot and binding himself as though he were a condemned man on a gurney.
Griffen's participation in Friday's protest outside the governor's mansion sparked outrage among death penalty supporters, including Republican lawmakers who described it as judicial misconduct and potential grounds for Griffen's removal from the bench.

Jose Manuel Miguel Xaviar Gonzales,in a few short weeks it will be spring.
The snows of winter will flow away, the ice will vanish, the air will
become soft and balmy.
In short, Jose Manuel Miguel Xaviar Gonzales, the annual miracle of the years will awaken and come to pass. But you wont be there.
The rivulet will run its soaring course to the sea. The timid desert flowers
will put forth their tender shoots. The glorious valleys of this imperial domain will
blossom as the rose.
Still, you willnot be here to see.
From every treetop, some wild woods songster will carol his mating song. Butterflies will sport in the sunshine. The gentle breeze will tease the tassels of the wild grasses,and all
Nature, Jose Manuel Miguel Xaviar Gonzales, will be glad.
But you will not be here to enjoy it. Because I command the sheriff to lead you away to some remote spot, swing you by the neck from a knotting bough of some sturdy oak, and let you hang until dead.
And then , Jose Manuel Miguel Xaviar Gonzales, I further command that such officer retire quickly from your dangling corpse, that vultures may descend from the heavens upon your filthy body until nothing shall remain but bare, bleached bones of a coldblooded, bloodthirsty,throat-cutting,murdering S.O.B

Here's the other part I was looking for. One certainly wonders what it is, exactly, that is motivating this so-called "judge".
Ex-FBI Agent Calls Eric Holder Coward and Hypocrite in Stunning Letter
https://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/crime/item/19905-ex-fbi-agent-calls-eric-holder-coward-and-hypocrite-in-stunning-letter
So why did Eric Holder, top law-enforcement official in the land, side with Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown even after it was apparent they were criminals?
A belief that he has common cause with black criminals certainly would answer that question.

FL Gov Rick Scott just took over 100 capital cases away from a woman judge who refused to consider the death penalty in capital cases. Now he’s working to have her removed from the bench.

Yep. That was what was up with the Obama administration.
None dare called it criminal empowerment. Except for few.

I don’t know if AR Gov. Asa Hutchinson is similarly empowered to do that as FL’s Governor is.
To: Trump20162020
Because these monsters gave such consideration to their victims - not.

They should both have gov’t accomodations. With orange clothing and some food. And numbers to identify them.
Especially after the Fast and Furious crimes.

Comparing the judge to Lincoln Perry (”Stepin Fetchit”) is an insult to that talented, brilliant actor. The judge obviously has neither.

You are correct. Stepin Fetchit brought a lot of fine entertainment and enjoyment to his legions of fans, unlike the judge who usurps the law and cultivates hatred between races.
