DOGE sends threatening "Fork" email to every federal judge, urging them to resign or else. Link provided.

I’m sorry for posting a twitter link.

These judges are of course appointed for life. The person in this video, who some posters have said is a lawyer (if so, he would know whar he is talking about, I think) seems to think it was a huge self-own by Musk and the incels.

1. Is this real?....................

WTF

[Tommy Carcetti]

11. Only source I could find on it was Zombie Newsweek, so for whatever it's worth...

...it's been said that it was supposedly erroneously sent to federal judges along with all other federal employees.

13. Thank you so much for finding that link! 💙

2. I would hope judges

Will rule based on the law and the merits of a case. Not a potential future defendant having "crossed" them

[hlthe2b]

4. So THAT is your immediate thought? Really...?

Not a sense of outrage that Musk and his ilk could actually do such a thing--but a jump to assuming judges would bend to his will--that they are all somehow as corrupt as Trump and his minions. It sounds like something we'd hear from the other side in justification of this outrageous act if true.

[osteopath6]

16. Yeah

Losing our fair and impartial judiciary does way more harm IMO. These kinds of things rely on knee jerks, I lived through Fitz, Mueller and beyond.

My knee is steady. I don't need anyone telling me when and if to panic. I'll know when that time comes. So far, I see nothing but red meat and efforts to distract, which I'm not getting bent out of shape over.

They're probing.

They wanted to see how long it'd take for the roadblocks to go up. They discovered it took weeks, meaning each exec order will take weeks to be effectively challenged. Since code and techy-things happen in real-time, I can only assume they have determined they can run at full-speed while the system takes weeks to find its footing and figure out how to hit back.

Would explain the flurry of executive action. And it should surprise no one, they telegraphed their plans months in advance.

For the record, I'll worry about what I want with or without your permission. Ok? Group think got us into this mess.

6. Judges are human beings. Every lawyer knows better than to piss off the judge

who's hearing your case. A judge can rule correctly according to the facts and the law and still hose you.

[genxlib]

10. I am not sure that is the right read.

Here would be my takeaway

"if this dumbass is trying to pull some blatantly illegal and threatening shit on me, then maybe I should consider everything they put in front of me as suspect"

Credibility matters when you are trying to make your case to anyone. Especially a judge.

[osteopath6]

17. I like yours better

Just not sure if that is reality. People shouldn't take a reasonable action from an impartial judge and imply they are for or against anyone. They're for the law.. whoever's side that happens to be on is who they should rule for.

The last remaining institution of trust is under continual assault. They don't control the budget (thats congress) and they don't have entire agencies acting as a police force (the executive). They have their legitimacy and that's pretty much it

12. They can, and should, take judicial notice of how incompetent those bozos are to have sent those emails.

One of the issues of fact here is if those people are competent to do the jobs they are currently doing, those emails suggest they aren't.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

21. Trump only cares about sycophancy, not competency.

I'm not a lawyer, but even I can tell that many of his lawyers were not at the top of their classes.

3. Damn! Just when I thought nothing they could do would shock me...

JHC!

[Ocelot II]

8. I'm not shocked. I was actually expecting something like this

since these idiots have absolutely no idea how the federal government actually works. I kind of hope some of the judges respond with something like, "Can you say "lifetime appointment"? And while you're at it, kindly fuck right off."

[peggysue2]

5. These suckers need to be locked up

The only good news about this is they're over-reaching. It will come back and bite them in the ass.

[jls4561]

7. Come on Aileen! Take that retirement package!

[newdeal2]

9. I hope 6 members of SCOTUS take the offer

[no_hypocrisy]

14. He meant only judges appointed by

Obama and Biden, right?

[intheflow]

15. Or - they sent this so they could argue that every federal judge is biased against them,

and therefore, not subject to their rulings. He's hoping the SCOTUS will back him, but aside from Alito and Thomas, I doubt they would.

[Mike 03]

18. Kicking

I've been listening to the Progress channel on and off today and I didn't hear this mentioned. Maybe I missed it.

This seems amazing and incredible. I'm running out of adjectives.

[SWBTATTReg]

19. If I'm not mistaken, the head justice of the Supreme Court did come out and ridicule muskrat in ignoring court

rulings. I daresay that the Supreme Court is already in the corner of law and order, and against these POS muskrat and tRUMP.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

20. Some pretty stupid motherfuckers if you ask me.

But what else do you expect from a group of barely out of high school incel tech bros?
