In reply to the discussion: Jamie Raskin's take on the arrest of the Judge [View all]TomSlick
(12,403 posts)22. Judges don't like parties coming to or going from their courtroom to be arrested or served with civil process.
They don't want parties to not come to court when required. However, there is usually no law against it. If there is a state law, it would be preempted by federal law.
Law enforcement, state or federal, would do well to not make arrests or serve process on parties coming or going from a court hearing. Judges have long memories and will find some way to make their displeasure known.
Charging a judge is an unnecessary overreach and may have consequences.
