The New York Times, a Voice of the Crust.
Hannah C. Dugan, a Wisconsin state judge, was found guilty on Thursday of obstructing federal agents, a high-profile victory for the Justice Department in a prosecution of a judge who it said was illegally aiding an undocumented immigrant.
Judge Dugan faces up to five years in prison and, as a person who has been convicted of a felony, she is likely ineligible to continue to hold office as a judge in Wisconsin, according to the State Constitution.
She was acquitted of a less serious charge of concealing a person from arrest.
One of the most deleterious effects of Girl Boss Equality is that it puts women in positions of power, in which they inevitably prefer ‘feels over reals’. Emotion is a bad thing in a judge, because it leads to arbitrary and capricious rulings.
