It's been several days since Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested on charges of felony obstruction. The Left had a meltdown about the arrest, taking it as 'proof' that the Trump administration was tyrannically persecuting judges.
The reality is: Judge Dugan knowingly, willingly, and actively broke the law by helping an illegal immigrant in her court attempt to evade arrest by ICE.
It was not overreach, and when former judge Andrew Napolitano said that on Newsmax, X users were not happy.

Yes. She should be made an example of, as should anyone who breaks the law.
So, I would ask Napolitano, who has always been an upstanding guy, if he thinks Judges are above the law.

It's a fair question.
Napolitano is a TV judge and they must make themselves stand out and they do that by saying something controversial and unexpected whether it is correct and substantive or not.

Probably true, to some extent.
Arresting someone that harbors an illegal immigrant is not an overstep. Their job title doesn’t matter.

Correct.
No one is above the law, after all.
Sorry Judge, Judges are in fact, NOT above the law. Given that they have a better understanding of the law than most, we should hold them to a higher standard.

We don't disagree.
I'll bet the victims of the criminal that the judge helped escape have a completely different view. I'm with them, not him.

The victims were sitting in the court when Judge Dugan helped Eduardo Flores Ruiz and his lawyer leave.
So much for justice.
She literally obstructed justice, keeping an illegal, and alleged domestic violence offender away from ICE…

We read the criminal complaint.
That's what she did.
No one is above the law, what part don’t you understand? Democrats jammed that phrase down our throat for 4 years. What’s the difference now? https://t.co/cnt5qzsCAX

That was (D)ifferent.
So judges are above the law? https://t.co/b3pekqB1US

That seems to be the argument some are making these days.
