I do not know the exact context of why you posted it. Were you happy that a judge ruled that another judge is going to have to serve time or were you happy that the judge broke law? Really it does not matter in respect to the question you asked.
I honestly hadn't even considered my reaction to the actual ruling. I see this as a cause and effect scenario: judge broke the law, was charged and convicted. Another judge upheld the conviction.
The immigration issue is often viewed through a moral lens - by both sides. I thought it was noteworthy that the convicted judge jeopardized her employment and social standing to stick to her principles/morals when she defied authority and committed the offense for which she was convicted.

What word salad is this? She owes exactly as much "deference" the the laws of the land as every other citizen, including you.
The poster claimed that the judge should receive a harsher penalty than an average citizen because she's a judge. That's what I responded to.

For one, I'm guessing the convict in this case hasn't shown even the slightest remorse for her crime. That alone should suggest a harsher penalty is appropriate.

Why are you intent on being so hostile? Good grief.
You're now speculating about the convicted judge's remorse or lack thereof to justify advocating for a harsh sentence.

But that's just one example. It's a perfectly defensible sentencing allowance to note a judge's position.

Not sure what you mean by "morals" when you are endorsing dangerous criminal activity.

I understand why someone would argue that a judge should be held to a higher standard, I just disagree.

The first criterion I listed happened with virtual certainty - I would argue it possibly happened BECAUSE she was a judge.
quote:Don't think of it as a higher standard. Rather, use your own words of "additional aggravating conduct".

That is to say, a random citizen helping an illegal alien to escape LE is NOT as bad as a sitting judge doing the same thing...in her place of legal business.
If a police officer committed a criminal act (like the criminally convicted person in question here) it seems highly unlikely you would be advocating for such obtuse neutrality.
