Examples
Judge Dugan truly mastered the art of judicial efficiency by ensuring the hallway remained entirely clear of federal agents, a performance that earned her a very permanent type of gavel-wielding recognition.
It is quite the innovation in modern jurisprudence to have a sitting judge treat an immigration arrest like a disruptive guest at a dinner party who just has to be shown the door.
Her obstruction conviction serves as a brilliant case study on how to handle unwanted federal guests with a level of courtroom administrative obstruction that truly defies conventional legal procedure.
