  With regard to judges choosing which laws they will follow and which they
  won't?
  Absolutely, I'd want to take 100% of that 'discretion' away from them. They
  shouldn't have it in the first place.

As long as police don't face the requirement to enforce every law in the
book! With the millions of laws at the local, state/province, and
national levels, we'd ALL be in jail or broke from fines in very short
order.

A friend of a friend was travelling in the USA and got stopped by the highway patrol for doing 56 in a 55 mph zone. He got a ticket for it. Ironically, Steve was a police officer at the time although obviously off-duty and out of uniform. I asked him about "professional courtesy", where LEOs give each other breaks for small indiscretions but he didn't answer directly. I got the impression it would never have occurred to him to ask. Mind you, this must have been 40 years ago.

By contrast, one of our Supreme Court justices got into a bit of a scuffle with a local while down in Scottsdale a year or two back. (I'm not saying it was anim and I'm not saying that it wasn't....) He insisted he had done no wrong but the optics were not deemed good for him or the Supreme Court so he soon resigned from the court!

If Judge Dugan had similar standards, she'd have resigned long ago rather than using her job to aid her "activism".

 In a hypothetical, note that "optics" of a drunken brawl are somewhat more unseemly than those of a refugee abettor.
