How about a paper written in school about how Catholics must recuse when the law conflicts with dogma?
First, the judge who sentences the defendant must be the one who has conducted the sentencing hearing. . . . This means that the Catholic judge must recuse himself before the hearing, not after it.
Do we really want to wind up with another Sessions-like scenario when she bows out during a hearing on immigration because the Pope says we should let illegal immigrants do whatever they want? Or recusing herself on 2A claims because the Pope has an opinion on "weapons of war"? It's precisely the globalist desires of the corrupted Catholic church that we need to defend against, and I say this as a former Catholic.
How about the ruling that the lockdowns are totally fine? Sorry in advance for the trash politico link, but it was the only full pdf of the ruling that I could find in my browser history. Sure, it was under Wood, but she's there too.
Underenforcement claims are hard to win, however, as we know from cases such as DeShaney v. Winnebago County Department of Social Services, 489 U.S. 189 (1989). It is also difficult to prevail in a case accusing the police of racial profiling. See, e.g., Chavez v. Ill. State Police, 251 F.3d 612 (7th Cir. 2001). Although we do not rule out the possibility that someone might be able to prove this type of favoritism in the enforcement of an otherwise valid response to the COVID‐19 pandemic, the record in this case falls short.
The appeals court could have remanded the case to let them at least try to prove this "difficult to prevail case". Anyone with eyes can see it happening, so the evidence exists. And, look, I get it, appeals court generally upholds cases as a matter of course, so successful appeals that change outcomes are rare. But that's pretty wishy-washy IMHO.
Regarding her paper, she does point out this is in regards to the death penalty, where it would be difficult for a judge to separate their feelings for the case. I don't want another sessions like scenario, but I'm not sure she would have the same stance regarding immigration and feel as strongly about it as sentencing someone to death. It's also a positive thing if a judge feels upfront that they cannot fairly judge a case, they should recuse themselves. The real question to ask her is how often would her feelings get in the way. This paper tells me more that she is unlikely to ever impose the death penalty.
For ruling you linked to regarding lockdowns, while I personally dislike all these lockdowns, this case was not about lockdowns in general but whether there should be exceptions in certain cases due to 1A. I actually find her argument compelling, and I'm not sure that the same cases presented with the same evidence would have another judge rule differently.
On the other hand, the 2A case that rentfREEEE_since2016 posted, I do not find her argument compelling at all. From what I understand, other judges also reviewed that case and came to the opposite conclusion. To me her ruling seemed more to be looking for an excuse to keep more guns out of people's hands.
I read that case you linked, and am not sure what to make of it. Churches were exempt from the 50 person max gathering, but nothing else?
She basically says the clearly unequal and discriminatory practice of enforcement re: blm is local, not State. Have "the Republicans" followed up, suing the local government?

Also, even more damning, Anaconda agrees with QuaranIsToiletPaper.
Thank you!
So I read the links you posted, thank you.
