Hon. Stephen C. Dries (W.D.Wis.)
Signed a warrant to arrest a sitting judge from his own state for bogus reasons. Clearly a compromised newbie judge who is too lenient to corrupt interests and willing to be the death knell of judicial independence in this country.

Yesterday judge was late on hearing on 15min. Then he refused to remove everybody from courtroom and disconnect online participants on FEE WIVER confidential hearing, said that everyone wants to know your income and expenses. Judge was RUDE! Judge violated my privacy and must be disqualified under CCP 170.1

Recently had a sentencing before him. He was fully prepared, patient, polite. Asked smart questions. Was straightforward about his thinking so we had an opportunity to address issues of concern. No bullshit. No drama. An excellent judge.

[Redacted by Ed.] What judge in his right mind refers to a heiron dealer as being a victim. Are you serious?? SO Many cases of this Judge Beistline show him giving sentences of the same charges one person was given 10 yrs. Another for the exact same charges with no prior charges he gave 20 yrs His cases prove he gives ones he knows completely different sentences to one he doesn't know. All this will surface soon. This judge took a life completely away from one but gave the other one with same charges except for this one had recently been released from prison for murder NOW TELL ME THAT WAS NOT BIAS. Federal Prison has away of changing people making them a better person. This judge was horrible for what he done but remember everything comes out sooner or later. We now have the right attorney that's making it possible to expose this judge. [Redacted by Ed.]

Seems affable at first, but his temperament has much to be desired. Interrupts, yells, talks loudly over people. Goes off on long tangents, laughing at his own jokes and promoting his own academia. Pray you are on the calendar in the beginning - he becomes more belligerent as the morning progresses. Appears to have an issue with women lawyers. Witnessed him mocking a pro per litigant with an obviously mental disability (and then make a joke of her after she disconnected from the hearing). Not what you would expect from an officer of the court.

Hon. Matthew F. Leitman (E.D.Mich.)
This man had no business being appointed a U.S. district judge and his appointment displays just how political the appointment process is. This man never tried a criminal jury trial. He was a briefcase carrier for an attorney at an established firm. This man is extremely liberal and cannot be fair to government counsel. He releases very dangerous people. His mentor was the late Art Tarnow, an extremely biased and lawless federal judge. Leitman over analyzes every legal issue; fortunately, he is terrified of being overruled on appeal.

Guy was in business for years defending evildoers from citizen claims, and acts like that is still his job. He's snarky, with a lot of hubris, but lacks the scholarship to back it up. Makes mistakes often enough and big enough to get slapped down by Pro Se litigants - which is pretty funny.
