Public won't be happy with Trump's fossilized world.

Or, in the case of my Dad, won't notice.

but she can destroy a box of wine.

What a despicable administration we have—inflicting cruelty for the fun of it.

They don't care if courts and attorneys are needlessly overburdened. They don't care if defendants are separated from their families and/or lose their jobs due to incarceration for petty non-violent crimes.

They don't really care about public safety. If they did, they would increase funding for local law enforcement instead of cutting it, which they did.

If the health and safety of the American people was a priority, they wouldn't put a deranged crackpot in charge of HHS or destroy FEMA while disasters from catastrophic climate change are on the rise.

We all know what their #1 priority is:
Carry out the dictates of Mad King Donald in an authoritarian consolidation of power intended to last far beyond his reign.

I think we all know what that means.

They can (to the best of my knowledge) strike a 'gentlemens agreement' amongst themselves as professionals that says 'anybody that comes in here on 'Trumped-up', nonsense charges, we're simply going to ROR with cash bail set at 1 dollar, or night-court style 'time served, 50 dollar fine', and essentially tell these clowns go fuck yourselves with this nonsense, and go ahead and scream all you want, WE run our own courtrooms, not DA Boxwine.

To uphold the US Constitution. But that's probably just too hard for a corrupted broken legal system to do.

When you are ruled by the whims of a psycho, dementia riddled, pedo these things happen. It will get worse.

And just tell the American people that as long as trump is non-compliant with any standing court order, we're going to decline to hear any litigation he brings to us..universally, the appeals court decisions can stand and who cares if he throws a fit as there isn't anything he can do about it...we have constitutional authority to run our show the way we want, and that's the end of it.

Mind you, that would take Roberts actually caring about the legacy of the court MORE than he cares about the perception of that legacy, and we're nowhere close to that yet.

Somebody please step in and stop this! Chump is doing it on purpose ... for obvious reasons.

The federal courts should only hear cases with a national (or regional) importance. Chump is treating them like a traffic court.

This will be a distinction when he moves into Baltimore and Chicago, which he is planning, but in DC not so much.

...was akin to them being "hostages" or "political prisoners" and constituted "torture."

These people don't have an authentic bone in their bodies.

Have been starving DC from the use of their own generated tax funds while forcing them to not hire cops and judges.

THE GOP are horrible people.

Don't you just love it.

"Defense attorneys across the city believe weaker cases are now being brought into the system as smaller infractions are bumped up to more serious charges,...." This sounds illegal and I have to wonder what jails they are being sent to and who owns those jails?

8 confirmed under Obama
6 under Clinton
5 under Biden
4 under GW Bush
4 under Trump
2 under Reagan

I can't believe they're at a breaking point and can't handle what the felon's henchmen are throwing at them.

separate from the one used for many of the J6 prosecutions. Apparently the run-of-the-mill "local" civil/criminal cases are handled by the Superior Court of the District of Columbia (most likely crimes that do NOT involve "federal property" or "federal statutes" that apply nationally).

They apparently "separated them out" through legislation back in 1970 -

S.2601 - District of Columbia Court Reform and Criminal Procedure Act of 1970

This has a good description of what is going on (seems like it's how they have their "D.C. Metro Police" which is different from the "D.C. Capitol Police" -

We may differ in wording, I think, but not in the spirit of the court structure. Not a lawyer, obviously, but my understanding is that there are magistrates, federal district courts and circuit courts. Maybe I misunderstand and could be wrong, but as I was following Jan 6 reports, I read these judges' names with the District Court of DC. Back when I was doing summations of events around Trump's cases handled by AG Garland and SC Jack Smith, I'd listed these judges. Am I wrong about them and the Jan 6 cases? Because many of their names kept coming up on the Litigation Tracker site for Jan 6, and courtlistener and news reports.







Sure, courts are underfunded, understaffed, and need more judgeships, and sure, lawyers might feel swamped, but to me the numbers just don't support the claim that judges and dockets are being any more burdened now by the felon's attempts to bury them.

Please correct me if I'm misunderstanding.

(there are also 13 vacancies in this court)

The court you are looking at deals with what are "national" type federal cases dealing with federal statutes. The above that I linked to deals with the "local" stuff because D.C. DOES have their "own local laws and ordinances". E.g., assaults, homicides, gun violations, robberies, small claims, car accidents, nuisance complaints, landlord/tenant issues, divorces, etc.
