Liberal judges who decide not to jail violent career criminals and sadistic psychopaths ought to be held liable when the felons attack innocent citizens.
Two horrendous, unprovoked attacks on helpless young women on public transit in recent weeks would never have happened if the legal system had done what it’s designed to do.
Instead, BLM-inspired reparatory justice has endangered the most vulnerable among us — women, children, the elderly and disabled. We pay police and judges to keep evil and dangerous predators away from weak and defenseless innocents. Yet radical Democrats who have taken over blue cities are hellbent on a destructive ideological crusade to defund the police, close the jails and install obedient judges who side with the perpetrator over the victim.
And yet law-abiding citizens who dare to try to defend themselves — or gallantly protect others, as in the case of good Samaritan Daniel Penny — are the ones arrested, prosecuted and even sent to jail. Queens senior citizen Charles Foehner has just been sentenced to four years in jail for gun offenses after shooting dead his mugger.
‘Barbaric’
Bethany MaGee, 26, was severely burned on her face and body when she was doused in gasoline and set on fire on Chicago’s L train last week in a what authorities have called a “barbaric and premeditated” attack by a repeat felon who had 72 arrests on his rap sheet, including aggravated arson and multiple felony battery convictions.
The suspect, Lawrence Reed, 50, reportedly yelled, “Burn alive, bitch!” as he set MaGee alight.
Reed had been deemed too dangerous to stay in the locked psychiatric wing of a Chicago hospital where he allegedly attacked a social worker and knocked her unconscious, causing a severe concussion, an eye injury and a broken tooth.

Way past time.
Simple answer is to make them personally liable for their rulings.
Wouldn’t take but a few to get their attention.
Yes! They are worse than the criminals!
At a minimum they should be removed from the bench.
The problem with that is judges generally don’t get paid well, so it’s already mediocre lawyers who become judges.
You really wouldn’t get anyone worth a crap, then.
Better would be to make it easy to fire judges. And strip them of the ability to be judges or work for any government agency.
Like on recommendation for firing by governor, the majority of the house has to vote to keep them.
I would correct one thing you said. Meaning let it be a “majority”of the Senate instead of the house. In Texas, Abbott would fire scores if not hundreds of them. Basically, if they are a democrat, they should have to reapply.
Yes, they absolutely should be held accountable! These judges are worse than the criminals.
Judicial Immunity has been a very long-held concept in English Common Law, and US Constitutional law and in “Bradley vs. Fisher” in 1871, the Supreme Court set very broad standards for Federal Judge immunity, outside of outright fraud and bribery, and most states follow it as well.
Laws will have to be passed that give a clear outline of how/when a judge can be prosecuted for extreme ideological bias which causes harm to public safety. IMHO, it will be very difficult.
A better route, IMHO, is pass laws that make cities/states financially liable to private property owners for losses suffered from a lack of public safety. If a city fails to protect a property from mob action (think Minneapolis 2020) or constantly allows conditions (example - homeless encampments) such that property values decline - owners/citizens can sue a city for financial loss under “negative takings” of eminent domain laws.
Such laws once were very common in the USA and it incentivized strong policing and public order in American cities. Of course, such laws were all removed or ignored once “progressives” took over American cities in the 1950s and 1960s.
When bad lawyers become bad judges bend over grab ankles.
TX judges face regular elections. That’s a damn fine check and balance already.
I’m talking about states where judges are appointed.
I am not for judges being punished for the crimes the scum that they set free does; but I am definitely for an immediate suspension and review without pay, and cost of any legal proceedings as a result of their soft on crime rulings. These black-robed SJW tyrants need to be reigned in!
The psychiatrists who say that the person is no risk to public safety need to be held accountable also.
The only way this will stop is for a few of these criminals and the judges that release them is for this to be dealt with old school style: hang the criminals and the judges from the nearest pine tree or lamppost.
In many places,judges and school board members just float thru elections..no cases reviewed,no critiques, a compliant media and the “American Bar Association” automatic approval ratings just to keep them all in line...
This joke of a judge gets $250,000 a year.

We are releasing you because of bad behavior. Teresa, if someone is attacking a social worker, that means is SHOULD BE THERE IN THE MENTAL HOSPITAL, NOT ON THE STREETS!!
