Hey ladies and gentlemen this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America and one federal judge
0:05
found himself in a lot of hot water and could be facing impeachment because of his disdain for
0:12
Donald Trump. Before we get started please make sure you like, comment, share, and subscribe

Those little things really help us out and they help our channel continue to grow
0:22
So this federal judge goes on CNN and Judge Reggie Walton and he decides he's going to
0:30
go after Donald Trump and say Donald Trump is causing this problem and that problem and he's
0:34
responsible for this and that and talking about his ongoing cases that are currently in court
0:40
This is a gross violation of the federal judge's code of conduct and many people online including
0:46
Mark Levin have been calling for this judge to be sanctioned, removed, or impeached
0:52
because of this interview. Now this is unprecedented. Federal judges don't do this
0:58
Even CNN's Caitlin Collins who interviewed him remarked how unprecedented something like this is
1:03
I want you to watch the interview and tell me what you think should happen to this judge in the comments. As always please remember to like, comment, share, and subscribe

I'm Carmine Sabia for Explain America. We love you guys. God bless you. Take care everybody

Have you been on the receiving end of more threats since you've had the January 6th defendants
1:23
in your court? Yes, I've had more threats than what used to be the case. Yes, I have received
1:31
a greater number of threats as a result of that incident and the fact that cases arising out of
1:38
that incident have appeared before me. I mean it was rare. I've been a judge for over 40 years
1:46
and this is a new phenomenon. I'm not saying that it didn't happen before but it was very rare
1:52
that I would ever receive any type of a threat regardless of what type of cases I was handling
1:57
And unfortunately that is no longer the case. I know the marshal service has seen a significant
2:04
increase in the number of threats against judges and I think obviously that's very, very, very
2:10
concerning. You know it's rare that we get to hear from a sitting federal judge but obviously this is
2:18
a gravely important issue. I wonder what made you speak out tonight and speak publicly
2:25
Well I am concerned because like I say we have had judges who've lost their lives or
2:32
family members have lost their lives as a result of individuals who have been litigants
2:38
in their courtroom and I think it's important in order to preserve our democracy
2:45
that we maintain the rule of law and the rule of law can only be maintained if we have independent
2:51
judicial officers who are able to do their job and ensure that the laws are in fact enforced and
2:57
that the laws are you know applied equally to everybody who appears in our courthouse
3:03
And I think it's important that as judges we speak out and you know say things in reference
3:10
to things that conceivably are going to impact on the process because if we don't have a viable
3:15
court system that's able to function efficiently then we have tyranny and I don't think that would
3:20
be good for the future of our country and the future of democracy in our country
3:25
Senior Judge Reggie Walton, it's great to talk to you. Thank you for joining us here on The Source tonight
3:32
Thank you for having me
