Are these judges getting back at the higher courts for not agreeing with the mad king?

(17,186 posts)6. This is what I found out about this judge
Erin L. Wiedemann is a federal magistrate judge for the United States District Court for the Western District of Arkansas. She was first appointed to this position on October 5, 2009
It appears she was appointed by President Obama.
It is mind boggling to release any of these insurrectionists.

She is setting a bad example for similar cases.

then I'm not too bothered about him being out while awaiting trial. I am a little skeptical that he will not go online at all, and that is harder to monitor than the location of a GPS ankle bracelet.
