Milwaukee County Judge Dugan indicted, grand jury meets Tuesday

[RaleBulgarian]

This seems like such a nit picky hill to die on.

It is.

@dcsports and @rahl should acknowledge their erroneous claims, and move on.

 

[RaleBulgarian]

@dcsports , it’s weird that you “like” @trixare4kids correct statement that Dugan is “technically still a judge”, but continue arguing otherwise with me.

How do you square the two opposing assertions?

 

[RaleBulgarian]

She simply is no longer a judge for the time being. I’m sorry.

I’m sorry that you’re stuck on a losing argument.

lol. No error, and I've expanded on the topic several times.

It's your hill.

Explained to death. Good luck.

She is not currently a judge. I’m sorry reality is clashing with whatever ideology you are clinging to, but reality doesn’t care. She isn’t a judge at the moment.

 

[rahl]

I’m sorry that you’re stuck on a losing argument.

But I’ve already won. She objectively, isn’t a judge at the moment. I’m sorry this is hurting your feelings. Reality doesn’t care. In the unlikely event she is acquitted, she may be a judge again. But currently she is not.

for effort.

F- for sticking to an obviously lost argument.

She is no longer a judge. I know this sucks for you, for some reason. In the unlikely event she is acquitted, she might become one again.

I agree with your self assessment. Take care.

Nope. It’s why she has no authority of any kind as a judge. Because she is no longer one. In the extremely unlikely event she’s acquitted, she might become one again.

Is she receiving a paycheck? Has she been disbarred?? If she has not been disbarred and is receiving pay as a judge, she is still a judge. It is standard procedure for someone facing an accusation to be on administrative leave until the situation is settled.

Like all accused persons, she is afforded the presumption of innocence...so, for the time being, she is considered innocent...and only IF the government can prove her guilty beyond all reasonable doubt...will that change.

Is she receiving a paycheck? Has she been disbarred??

For the moment.

Has she been disbarred??

Not yet. It is a very real possibility, but this will likely be considered after the criminal charges are resolved. Likely she'll make a deal to try to avoid disbarment.

If she has not been disbarred and is receiving pay as a judge, she is still a judge. It is standard procedure for someone facing an accusation to be on administrative leave until the situation is settled.

She's been stripped of her power and is unlikely to ever take the bench again. And yes, it's not uncommon to wait on employment and licensure review until after the charges are resolved, but that will happen in due time. Even your comment acknowledges that the fact she's currently receiving a paycheck means little beyond the fact that the criminal charges are pending.

Like all accused persons, she is afforded the presumption of innocence...so, for the time being, she is considered innocent...and only IF the government can prove her guilty beyond all reasonable doubt...will that change.

She will have the opportunity to make her case. But the legal charges aren't the only barrier she will face. Judges, and lawyers in general, have a VERY high standard for ethical conduct, and the 'burden of proof' isn't as high. Her behavior is likely to see her removed from the bench, and likely disbarred, even if it doesn't result in a conviction.

If she were unlikely to ever take the bench again they would have fired her....she is not currently facing any discipline review either....there is a reason for that.

She is exercising her right to remain silent, that is smart...she is also letting her attorneys determine the best way to defend her and they have the entire story...while you do not.

I would bet money what you said about Chauvin. When he was accused...and he has now been convicted, so he is guilty....but I bet you tried t argue we did not watch Floyd be murdered on video.

Note your own comment above. Her status as a judge and a lawyer is unlikely to be reviewed until the charges are resolved. I guarantee she'll face both a judicial conduct review and a bar association review.

10 pages later, and one person has the obsession to grasp on to a meaningless point, eristicism, and others have the compulsive need to convince the person they are wrong on a meaningless point.

It's like watching mice navigate a maze, but there is no cheese, and no maze, and no mice.
