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.

No one has been vaccinated. They’ve taken an experiment. The judge needs to be bounced out onto the sidewalk on his ass. He just publicly failed his IQ test. Someone who has been given the experimental treatment can still get COVID-19 and give it to the judge.
Just because a judge asks you a question does not mean they have the authority to ask it or that you have to answer it.
His question had nothing to do with ongoing court cases either. Its a personal medical status question of someone. Asked in a public venue, no privacy whatsoever, anyone can hear it, and the courtroom may be recording at that time.
Besides one could answer “cucumber!”. Might not like the answer but theres no law that says he has to like your answer.
Or answer with a question of your own. “Have you been vaccinated?” “Whats the length of your erection?”
Seems his mask is too loose and his underwear is too tight.

Over-reach.
He needs to have a chit-chat with Kristi Noem or pack his bags off to the security of Merrick Garland and the DC Swamp.
Kristi Noem has no jurisdiction over this senile piece of Federal shite.
All sorts of chit-chat occurs among the US Judiciary and the Deep State RATs and Congress Critters.
What do you think those cocktail parties are about?
Mutual salad-tossing.
What an ass
Korny is a drama queen.
HIPAA is not applicable here. HIPAA only covers entities that possess patient medical records, including health plans, healthcare providers, and healthcare clearinghouses. Health plans include health insurance companies, health maintenance organizations, government programs that pay for healthcare (Medicare for example), and military and veterans’ health programs.
So...there is no HIPAA issue in this or any of these types of cases. The issue is however a violation of the Supreme Court created right to privacy that doesn’t actually exist in the Constitution. But since the Supreme Court created one to uphold Roe v. Wade...then they are stuck with it. And this judge is violating the Deputy’s right to privacy.
I can live with that.
Throw the female deputy in for “diversity” of charges. Could be an interesting case/trial.
Where is Raylan Givens when you need him??
Just another authoritarian Imperial Judge who rules the USA, instead of the constitution and the people. Dictators of the Black Robe Society have become prevalent in the USA.
I’m so ashamed. My county, the United States of America, is now arresting and imprisoning political prisoners. And Czar Vladimir is taking notice and making the most of it. Our country has forfeited its moral authority for TDS.

America has gone the way of Harlan, KY in the 1930s. The elites own the the politicians, judges, and law enforcement. Even the feds were hamstrung by coal operators and big steel. Today its commies and globalists in control. When the dems finally get control of everything they want there will be nothing but a hollow core left. Coal, steel, autos, oil, defense either gone or almost gone. Middle-class is well on ghe way out. The left are purveyors of chaos and entrophy.
Yeah I said I concur with you. While I said he has the right to remove people from the court room, that was an assumption. I claimed ignorance as to the taking of the defendants as to its legality. 8>)
