1. Extremist Trumper judge?

WTF? He needs to see some protesters outside his courtroom.

4. G. Michael Harvey was appointed as a United States Magistrate Judge on February 13, 2015. Obama?

6. If I recall correctly, the judges appoint magistrates. n/t

2. Are they meeting with Ted Cruz?

Asking for a friend

3. Seriously???

I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't come back.

5. Too bad this isn't the logical Judges

They would never approve such a thing.

7. I hope he does not come back

although, the crimes he has been charged for are not yet bringing jail time. Its total bullshit, but they are not. If he does not come home, maybe, just maybe the judges will stop letting these people take these trips. Brian Sicknick can not go on trips, he is dead, killed bu this guy and his fellow insurrectionists.

Fuck him, may he rot in a Mexican jail.

8. Given the Delta Variant, Mexico may not allow this trip after all.

By September things could change a lot. So there's that. It still beggars belief that the judge would allow it.

[Sympthsical]

9. The prosecutors were ok with it

It's in the first paragraph of the order.

"Counsel for the United States does not object to the motion."

So, this wasn't just some random judge going off half-cocked.
