Isn’t it about time someone announces we are at war, being invaded, and the enemy is within the walls?

[Feckless]

Sounds like we need to start shooting them on sight. Rule that, MF!

[albie]

“Unbelievable” would be the word 20 years ago. Today it’s routine.

[jimpick]

Looks like it is worse to be a citizen than a illegal in our justice system. What happened to ignorance of the law is no excuse?

“Isn’t it about time someone announces we are at war, being invaded, and the enemy is within the walls?”

Trump’s too busy trying to do the impossible, which is ending the war in Ukraine. Once he’s done with that, I wouldn’t be surprised if he starts ‘taking action’ against these judges in some way, possible as you suggest.

[AndyJackson]

Well if 8647 Comey can use it, then anyone can.

[spincaster]

Look, these anti American judges are really pissing me off!
This B/S has to stop. The American people elected Trump to do exactly what he is doing. Start coming down hard on these judges that constantly roadblock our President.

Chief U.S. Magistrate Judge Gregory Wormuth should be arrested, tried, convicted, and sentenced to a short drop and quick stop for giving aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States.

Does anyone think they would be so lenient for any American who wandered into a "sensitive ecological area" demarcated by the Bureau of Land Management on Federal land who didn't know?

To ask the question is to answer it.

In fact, there was a case on the Grand Canyon rim where someone got lost and camped overnight: because the guy was an outdoors Youtuber, he was charged with felonies for camping in a prohibited area pour encourager les autres.

THese areas are now recognized as bonafide US Military sites. Why aren’t these interlopers being tried in a Military court?

And, what was the real issue? Not enough signs? The trucks, jeeps and APC’s with all the camo dressed folks wasn’t a clue?

Get real, yer’onor! Pull your head out of your three point of contact.

[pierrem15]

Yup. The judge should be put in front of a military tribunal on charges of sedition for interfering with the President's Article II powers, and treason for doing so on behalf of a foreign invasion.

If convicted, he should be shot.

[WeaslesRippedMyFlesh]

aren’t there signs in spanish stating “You are entering a Restricted Zone”?

Did they forget the signage? Is that was this is about?

[vivenne]

This.

[Red Badger]

Basically, yes, but even if there were signs in Spanish he would say the migrants are uneducated and can’t read.................

[dinodino]

This is effing BS.

[af_vet_1981]

Does his term expire tomorrow ?

Ballotpedia:

Gregory B. Wormuth is a federal magistrate judge for the United States District Court for the District of New Mexico. He was appointed to this position on May 18, 2009, and his term will expire on May 17, 2025.

[TheThirdRuffian]

But if you unknowingly walk on a closed trail in the Lincoln National Forest, that’s a felony.

[grobdriver]

Just shoot them and be done.

[pas]

I guess ignorance is an excuse for the law.
