"Judge Patrick J. Schiltz is just another activist judge who is clearly more concerned about politics than the safety of Minnesotans."
Those are the words of Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). My guess is that her statement elicited quite the snort of laughter from Schiltz, who is not normally attacked for being some sort of far-left "activist." If anything, the 65-year-old Schiltz, a George W. Bush appointee who currently serves as chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota, is probably more used to being labeled as a right-winger.
