BREAKING: U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton unleashes a blistering takedown of Donald Trump over his repeated smears of the judges involved in his criminal cases, calling them an "attack on the rule of law." It was high time someone called it like it is… “I think it’s important that, as judges, we speak out and say things in reference to things that conceivably are going to impact on the process, because if we don’t have a viable court system that’s able to function efficiently, then we have tyranny,” Walton said during an appearance on CNN. He was discussing the recent attack Trump launched on the judge in his hush money trial as well as the judge’s innocent daughter. Judge Walton said that judges simply cannot allow threats to affect “how you live your life and how you treat litigants.” He went on to say that we live in an unfortunate new political reality in which judges and their families face potential violence. “So, I think it’s very important that people in positions of authority be fairly circumspect in reference to the things that they say, so that they’re not causing others to act on what they say and maybe cause injury or death to someone as a result of that,” he added. The simple fact is that things do not have to be like this. America does not have to descend into a chaotic world of political violence and lawlessness. But in order to prevent that, we have to defeat the MAGA movement for good. We have an opportunity to do that this November. Vote blue, save America.

Donald Trump is responsible for inciting a crowd on Jan 6 to violence. He announces regularly that if he is not elected there will be BLOOD in the streets. I want to know WHY this man is allowed to be out and about making these threats every week. Why isn’t he being locked up, like any other lunatic doing the same thing ?
@OccupyDemocrats This too was an attack on the rule of law.
@OccupyDemocrats What did the judge sentence? My guess nothing.
@OccupyDemocrats Has Judge Walton also spoken out on the attacks on Justice Thomas?
@OccupyDemocrats for 100 years Minorities have called into question the veracity of judges and prosecutors and accused the system of biases and prejudices...so what's different with Trump?
It's certainly significant when judges speak out against attacks on the judiciary and the rule of law. Upholding the integrity of the legal system is crucial for maintaining democracy. And regarding your call to action, voting is indeed a fundamental way to shape the future of a nation.
@OccupyDemocrats I am hoping more and more judges step up and say what Judge Walton is saying. The entire judicial system of the country is at stake here.
