A disaster hiding under a robe. Does not understand the facts and makes up her own, shows no respect to either side...then fails to uphold the juries awards. Very sad, you will find no justice in her court

Every negative comment on this board is well deserved. She has absolutely no business on the bench. I went into her courtroom expecting fairness and was completely disappointed, her only concern is reminding you that she’s the smartest one in the room. She is ill tempered and abuses her power to create roadblocks for parties she does not like (usually plaintiffs).

Judge Krieger is a disgrace. She is arrogant, ill-tempered, condescending, and superficial. Despite her belief that she is the smartest one in the courtroom (a view that only she holds), she is a weak thinker and scholar. She is motivated by conservative, defendant bias and she takes forever to rule. The federal bench is poorer for her sitting on it.

This liberal activist judge ruled in favor of CO magazine limits because citizens don't NEED more rounds in their guns. Apparently the Bill of RIGHTS has turned into a 'Bill of Needs'. These rights are recognized by government; they are not privileges. The second amendment shall not be infringed!

She openly hates pro se and will do anything under handedly to get rid of them. Her lapdog Magistrate Judge Watanabe makes sure she never gets any pro se cases regardless if they deserve to be heard or not.
