Snyder, who served as Petersburgh Town Justice, claimed he couldn’t be impartial as a juror because he believed everyone brought before a court was guilty.

In yet another example of judicial overreach, U.S. District Judge George A. O’Toole, Jr., a Clinton appointee, has thrown a wrench into President Trump’s bold plan to streamline the bloated federal government.
