If you read the judges' orders, prosecutors are fine with it.

It isn't just right-wing judges going off.

It's been happening. I guess they figure there's no public threat. Dunno. You'd have to ask them.

She'd already paid for her tickets, so couldn't she be allowed to go? Ask any person of color if any judge ever bought that argument, supposing anyone ever had the nerve to ask.

What the fuck is wrong with the judges. If these people broke into your home or office, would you be so fast to let them go on vacation. This sucks and it makes going back to work worse and worse each day.

Letting traitors out for vacation are traitors themselves.

If it was a black man asking for a vacation they would laugh
In his face and drag him back to his cell.
