NancyB, I’m glad you had a lawyer/friend with good advice!
Yes, many judges behave arrogantly regarding the lowly citizen.
Narcissist egos in power with nearly no accountability are rotting our justice system.

I have a personal grudge against Lamberth myself. When I lived in DC, I was called for jury duty, in DC’s “Murder, Inc,” trial. It was in the paper as the largest jury pool ever called: thousands of people, long intrusive profiling questionnaires, etc. I went to the courthouse early in January, and because I actually find jury duty interesting, I didn’t throw it and I wasn’t dismissed on the spot, but told to wait to hear from them.

Months passed, and I forgot about the matter. My husband and I booked a prepaid walking holiday on Offa’s Dyke in Wales for the end of May. Two days before we were due to leave, I got a summons to come in as one of pool of 100 finalists. Judge Lamberth asked us to tell him if for any reason we were not able to serve. I raised my hand and told him about how I’d booked this holiday, not refundable, blah blah blah. Lamberth asked how I could have done such a thing, knowing that I might be called. I answered that I thought, given my odds were about one in 10,000 of being called, that I might have wanted to proceed with my life in the intervening months, my life wasn’t something to put on indefinite hold. Lamberth said it wasn’t an indefinite period, it was to the end of the trial. I stupidly tried to point out that that *was* an indefinite period, and Lamberth said: “If you don’t show up on Monday morning you are going to jail for six months.”

Man, did that shock me. I went home and called my lawyer/friend and asked him, “Can he do that?” My friend said, “He’s a federal judge, he can do almost anything he wants.” However, we did write an appeal and send it over Lamberth’s head to the chief clerk of the court, who did issue some sort of injunction allowing me to go on my trip. Although I prevailed against the s.o.b. I am still sobered by Lamberth’s abuse of his power, and appalled by accounts of how he is abusing it still.

Re: Royce Lamberth’s lies in his 13-page sentencing document:
I’m furious that judges have such unfettered freedom to lie in their rulings & official documents!
We need to be able to impose actual consequences on judges (and DA’s lawyers, …), quicker & sharper. Unlike waiting for a retirement, or death, or impeachment, etc.

Jimmy wrote: “Lamberth was appointed by Reagan. No one is perfect, but that was a huge miss.”
In Reagan’s time, there was a different “norm” for judicial appointments.
I believe the POTUS asked the district’s senators for recommendations, & often accepted that.
Some things were less partisan, back then.

An update — last night on Fox News Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick told Laura Ingram that the state of Texas has budgeted $5Billion for border security and will simply outbid any other buyer of the steel wall segments. It will remain in Texas possession until it can be turned over to the Trump administration. Bidding starts at $5 per piece.

Royce Lamberth is a tyrant and a big, fat one at that.

I suggest the apparatchiks abusing their powers and willfully working against the interests of the United States lawyer up. Things are about to change.

@Mary Catelli,

Speaking of my own ancestor, accused witch Martha Carrier, no, she was not pardoned. She said she would “rather die than confess to a falsehood so filthy”, and so she was hanged, even though confessing to that falsehood would have saved her life. However, she was exonerated, which means the powers that be decided she was innocent all along.

Would have been nice if they decided that one BEFORE she was hanged, but them’s the breaks.
