That "the 2nd amendment doesn't exist here" line should be grounds for a mistrial at least.
The appeal should be successful. Higher courts don't like lower judges saying the Bill of Rights doesn't exist in their courtroom.
How the fuck is a judge actually able to say this? You can't dismiss the damn Bill of Rights like it holds no meaning! I could see a retard in a school debate getting away with making such nonsense statements but for a judge to actually say this and NOT get chastised for it is terrifying.
Saying "The 2nd amendment doesn't apply to this courtroom" is like saying "The constitution doesn't apply to this courtroom" and not only has no legal basis, but is illegal.
Judicial immunity, they don't give a fuck, at worst the case will get transferred to another judge.
I get that there have always been issues with immunity for state actors such as judges. "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" goes back a couple of millennia. But.... at what point does a judge's actions cross the line of no longer being a judge and being susceptible to actual civil and criminal sanctions? If explicitly rejecting the Constitution (which I'm assuming she took an oath to comply with) doesn't cross that line what would? Declaring the defendant guilty without the jury, sentencing him to hang and executing that sentence there and then?
As an aside, this is another example of just how worryingly unreliable modern juries in the retard society are. Might always have been that way but they certainly seem to have deteriorated in quality in recent years.
