A federal judge in South Dakota is on the warpath against the US Marshals service that provides courtroom security, accusing them of ‘kidnapping’ and criminal contempt after they refused to disclose Covid-19 vaccination status. On Monday, US District Judge Charles Kornmann fulminated for nearly an hour at the courthouse in Aberdeen, as Justice Department lawyers and two of the Marshals he wants criminally prosecuted took notes.
“This was such an outrageous thing to do,” the judge reportedly said, according to the Washington Post, referring to the incident last month when a female deputy refused to tell him if she was vaccinated – and took the three defendants with her when Kornmann ordered her to leave the courtroom.
Federal judge accuses three senior law enforcement officials of criminal obstruction — Justin Long (@jrlongatlaw) June 15, 2021 “When you move someone against their will, that's kidnapping,” Kornmann said. “I don't care who you are.”
“Nothing like this that we could find has ever been done in this country. If it is the marshals’ position that they can override court orders, they are badly mistaken,” he added.
Kornmann wants obstruction of justice and criminal contempt charges levied – not against the female deputy, but against the Marshals Service chief of staff John Kilgallon in Washington, DC; as well as Daniel Mosteller, the marshal for the District of South Dakota and his chief deputy Stephen Houghtaling. He gave the federal prosecutor until Friday to do so, or he would appoint a prosecutor who will. The trial date is already set: September 13.

Just don't read the comments of the fascist liberals on the site
This guy in S Dakota is in his mid-80s. He’s got no business being in a courtroom anymore.
The nutburgers live in their own fantasy world, and it's dangerous to people who live in the real world.
Senior moment Clinton-appointed judge.
fixed it
I’m not sure whose side I should take?
You can always identify a bully and spoiled brat.
They never outgrow having temper tantrums when they don’t get their own way or can’t push people around.

Eastern front.
Bkmk
Spike proteins made their way to his brain.
And the judge is going to “appoint” a prosecutor who will????
it will be interesting to see if the Marshal’s union does anything...
Thank you.
Exactly...can’t imagine how many people are going to be held in contempt in that moron’s courtroom.
Biggest issue for the moron....the US Marshals handle the security and all the other stuff in federal court system. He tries to run to the FBI or DOJ, they don’t have any jurisdiction over any of that. And, I’d love to see the either come after the members of the Marshal’s Service. Maybe, if by some inexplicable way, the judge gets paper on these folks, one of two might rollover, but what if they don’t...ha ha ha ha ha
The judge is an ACTUAL Democrat [worked in the Party before his appointment] who was installed by Rapin Bill Clinton.
He's an 84 year old gasbag who wants to force healthy young people to take a "vaccine" [fauxccine] that they have determined they don't want to take.
He's the worst sort of Nazi.
The prisoners were in her custody. She leaves, they leave. I’ve had similar situations with state prisoners when I was a Corrections officer. I had a hospital nurse supervisor try to flex on me and tell me an officer could not be with the prisoner during a surgical procedure. So I informed her we were leaving to go to another hospital. She then tried to tell us we couldn’t leave with the prisoner. So I pulled out my phone. I told her “you call your supervisor, I’ll call mine. Let’s see who’s right”. I make the call. She comes back 5 minutes later, all dejected and butthurt and says “let me show you where the scrubs are. Never had a problem with her ever again.

Do not defy a Judge in his or her own courtroom. They have an incredible amount of power.

I concur with you. Still he did have the right to have her remove herself from the court. As far as the defendants go, I can’t be sure what might be the legal reality there.
Fascinating that this senile old Clinton get is p*ssing off his gunthugs...
