I looked up Judge Elena Compos of the Ninth Circuit. There is no such judge on the 9th Circuit. I was wondering why I would not have heard of the arrest of another judge (beyond Hannah Dugan in Wisconsin a few weeks ago). Michael, what are you referring to?

I found Maria Elena Campos, ninth circuit, but it doesn't say anything about her being arrested.

Oops, I spelled the last name wrong (blush). But I tried again and crickets. I did find a person named Maria Elena Campos who sued a Judge Nail in 1991. But maybe I am not searching correctly. I also looked at the list of all current Ninth Circuit judges. Maybe Michael got the name mixed up with someone else.

Nor did I find the statute he referred to.

I thought I was losing my mind. I didn't find a Judge Campos either.

I came to the comments hoping for clarification on this because I couldn't find anything on Google either.

Same. Did it not happen? Or is it being scrubbed?

MTM needs to retract this incorrect statement and issue a public apology.

His hand was NOT on the bible!! I think that speaks for itself! EXTREMELY WRONG! What other president refused to put his hand on the bible!???

His hand not being on the bible says absolutely nothing except that his hand wasn't on the bible. So you put your hand on the bible? Does that make you a good person? No. Might make you a hypocrite . . .

He is a devious man and in his warped mind he does believe he didn’t officially take the oath so that releases him from responsibilities that are so obvious….

Or perhaps Trump was sending a message to the Christian Nationalist that he will do whatever the hell he wants to do.

I saw someone from another country post a video back in February that we had about 6 months before we fully lost our democracy and how sorry they were for our country. They saw this writing on the wall. It reminded me of when the Italians warned us Covid was coming in just a few days and we would be going through exactly what they were in all that sadness. Both things have been right and I believed both of those people who warned us on their little viral videos. Here we are and I am ready to fight but I am sick to my stomach knowing what we have lost. This is 100% because of people who resented Obama and his amazing open love for all things human. It started to be very apparent with that damn tea party and now here we are. Some people have no idea what they have done to us. They still do not understand what we have lost and how bad this is going to be for all of us now and already is for some. I honestly don’t know what the end game is here. I feel like we are going to have a revolutionary war, a world war and a civil war all at once. If we’re lucky some of us will survive and good will prevail but I hope we don’t end up with disgusting people who go to watch gladiators because that is the feeling I am getting from all this. Trump seems like the type who loves to watch people suffer. And that is the kind of rulers he employs.

Yes, #47 is all about revenge and cruelty for his imagined victimhood, when in fact, he is the one who perpetrated. It's called gaslighting on a national and international level.

We as a Nation need to fight to save it not just stand by…Trump is a reincarnation of Hitler and constant protesting nationwide will drive him crazy and he cannot violate our rights…

Where is the news coverage of the arrest of a Ninth Circuit judge? Can you post a link? I’m not finding it.

“ And let’s not forget the chilling arrest last week of Judge Elena Campos of the Ninth Circuit—hauled off by federal marshals after issuing a ruling that blocked the administration’s latest executive order targeting asylum seekers. The official charge? “Obstruction of national interest,” under the newly passed “Judicial Accountability and Patriotism Act”—a grotesque piece of legislation designed to muzzle dissent from the bench. Her real crime? Upholding the Constitution.”

I just replied the same thing earlier, notifying Meidas that this whole paragraph is not true. Couldn't find the law, the judge or a record of the arrest! We cannot succumb to misinformation.

Trudy Tessaro's avatar

I know! Really surprised that they would post something so untrue.

Bonnie M's avatar

A quick google turned up nothing about judge Campos, or the Judicial Accountability and Patriotism Act- where can we find more about these things?

Marcia King's avatar

I was going to share the same thing: no hand on Bible. Maybe he was afraid lightning would strike him inside.

Theresa Arcuri's avatar

One thing you were wrong about. He did Not put his hand on the Bible.

It's past time to shut down trump and his enablers and Prosecute to the fullest extent of the law

Peter Blasevick's avatar

Michael, please explain the Elena Campos reference.

Jackie Marshall's avatar

No, I think the main thing this country runs on is money. No money, starve and die.

Michael Wright's avatar

he never put his hand on any Bible at all. wanted us to know how insincere the oath was. for anyone paying attention.

Mary Bahr's avatar

You are wrong on something. Please correct. Donald Trump never put his hand on the Bible during his oath of office. He raised his right hand and the left laid at his side while Melania held the Bible he was supposed to put his hand on. Please check this for accuracy. Sorry but we have to keep ALL facts correct. If not you lose credibility and we all need you to be completely credible. Thank you.

I cannot find any reference on search engine Bing Microsoft re: Judge Elena Campos of the Ninth Circuit being arrested last week. Did this really happen? Is the name right, the court?

He did not put his hand on the Bible. Nowhere near it.
