        Seeing reports about DOJ lawyer's reference to dog-sitting. The judge had asked where the lawyers would be over the weekend. The DOJ lawyer said she'd be going back to Colorado because of dog-sitting. I did *not* hear her ask for any extension or delay because of that

        The judge was talking about having a meeting Monday well before the attorney said this. He asked whether they'd be out of town and she said that. She didn't argue against giving a list of kids tomorrow as requested. The remark was tone deaf but this tweet isn't how it went down. https://twitter.com/PeterAlexander/status/1015338512042921985 …

        This shouldn't fly in an office that has bodies capable of providing coverage. Yes, civil court judges are often much easier on attorneys re: scheduling, here, there's no good reason somebody else cannot be responsible.

        Chris Geidner: What's the crime here is her not comprehending the "seriousness" of what's happening to these helpless people! Honestly folks, you wouldn't stand for it, if it were your family members! Why is it "ok" for these poor folks?

        Sometimes, doing the right thing in the right way takes time. It takes time to ensure mistakes aren't made. Because we all know you'd have no forgiveness in you if mistakes were made.

        Ummm, are you saying it always takes him time to get things right? At least he gets it right, and doesn't hand over children to traffickers. Unlike Obama.

        Gonna take a wild guess. Both the judge and gov lawyer are white. And can’t they just kennel the dog to get kids out of kennels? Seriously. This judge is a nutcase.
