Where are the judges' comments re: being lied to in order to get a warrant? From what I have observed over my lifetime, judges become very incensed if they discover anyone lying to them. I can only surmise complicity with the liars but I am not knowledgeable about protocols involved. I do not believe they are without recourse.

for the most part, you won't hear judges comment publicly. they aren't supposed to.

I don't need to hear their commentary. I want to see them throw people in jail on contempt and perjury, the folks who used bogus PC to get warrants. Why hasn't this happened yet?

RBG kind of broke tradition there as have other activist judges. With the WV SC Justice issue recently as well as past incidents with other judges, I think people as a whole may assume all judges perform to a higher standard. Who knows if it’s a small percentage of judges or not.

Judges don’t comment publicly.

When it has the jurisdiction, a court exercises the greatest power, but the price for this is having power only in “cases and controversies” properly brought before the court. A court can’t go around looking for trouble.

In the same vein, judges don’t go around complaining or explaining, except officially in court.

That said, privately judges can be fairly critical when they believe a lawyer has played fast and loose with the truth in court. Bad news travels fast, and it was said that one of the few places in the universe where the speed of sound was faster than the speed of light was the corridor running behind the courtrooms linking the judges chambers. You didn’t want to cause the judges to confer to consider your soundness.

Fool me once, shame on you, and all that.
