This week’s prestigious award goes to Emmet Sullivan, the judge in the Michael Flynn case. The DOJ dropped all charges but Sullivan won’t let it go and he keeps changing the rules. He would not allow an amicus brief earlier in the case and now he demands one. He’s out to get Flynn come what may. As my friend V-Man said, “Never trust a judge with a soul patch.” What an asshole!
Probably had a bro to bro chat with Barry Husein.

I won’t call this week’s award winner either a Bozo, or a clown. Calling him a Bozo is an insult to Bozo’s creator, Larry Harmon, and calling him a clown is an insult to another Emmett, the late Mr. Kelly.
Amicus briefs are not used in criminal cases, only civil. This dooshtool is breaking all sorts of rules and precedents. In the immortal words of the great philosopher and Oscar winning rabbit Bugs Bunny, “Wadda maroon!”
Years ago I was called to the D.A.’s office concerning a rape case — a student in one of my classes was accused of rape by another student in the same class. Happened in her dorm room on campus.
Problem was that each was having his/her lawyer summon me as character witness, and I had no personal knowledge concerning either one of ’em outside of class.
The hearing judge said he wanted both prosecutor and defense attorneys to get it in writing that my testimony would be pointless, but to do it by deposition prior to the court date. He said he would list me as “amicus curiae,” not as a witness.
Both attorneys deposed me, had me sign the transcripts, and said I wouldn’t be called. Period. Pretty pro-forma stuff, meaningless, but sped things up in the trial, I reckon.
Found out later that the guy pleaded out to attempted rape and aggravated assault (he choked the girl with the cord on a table lamp and hit her with a book).
But it WAS a criminal case, and the judge called me amicus curiae, merely a source of information but not a witness. I figgered he oughta know the definition of the terms.
Also learned that the guy had a BCD from the Army a coupla years earlier, but somehow was getting tuition money on the G.I. Bill. Found that a li’l hard to swallow.
Under his robes must be the biggest asshole ever.
Quota judge. Not skills.
What this judge did is far more common then people realize,while they take an oath to apply the law as written to assure a person on trial receives the full protection he is constitutionally entitled to.
The problem is this almost all judges are former lawyers who were educated & trained to work around the law as written in order to defend his client. Quite frankly many lawyers though elected or appointed to judgeship do not make good judges. As time passes they become m’ ore & more inclined to legislate from the bench & do not follow established law.
You can ask any prosecutor,defense lawyer or police officer when they hear the judge state at a trial ” in my opinion ” chances are they are about to get hosed.
These egotistical windbags now are legislating from the Bench even assuming to not only determine what is or is not constitutional but also ordering what will apply based on his often flawed opinion.
True you do not see as much of this in higher courts but for the most part higher court appointees are chosen from existing lower court ranks & the judicial corruption continues upwards.
As an example today our Supreme Court since the 1950`s has routinely legislated from the Bench.This is forbidden of course but the legislative branch of government does nothing to put an end to this practice.
BOUT TO GET HOSED. prosectiona personal oiion….
