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.

She's a great Republican judge who puts stupid Plaintiffs attorneys (which is all Plaintiffs' attorneys) in their place by granting every Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment filed. Together with Judge Brimer and Blackburn, these three judges do a great job of keeping Plaintiffs from getting a jury trial. She recognizes that the 7th Amendment is dumb, and we should get rid of it. All Plaintiffs just want to manipulate the jury into giving out millions in 'emotional distress'

It is beyond me why this judge would rule that an inmate at Supermax in Florence can take the US Government to trial over his SAMs. A non US citizen convicted of terrorist acts should not have 1st amendment rights. This trial will cost Colorado tax payers monies that could be better spent on citizens needs. She should be removed from her duties.

Precious Article III is a compliment! This jurist openly displays the Article IV protocol as well as a gold trimmed flag under the executive branch. Far from a true judicial officer. Why sugar coat the facts, we all know there is a problem in the Ivory Tower. Yup ! Some body needed to step up and be specific here !

Ms.Krieger not only doesn't know what she is doing, but perhaps she does, she is on the bench to keep the judge's benefits growing at the expense of innocent lives. She is rude, and very unethical. What's worse is that she is being protected by others of her kind. Justice will never be justice until Krieger and others like her are gone.

One of the worst her profession has to offer. She is arrogant, condescending, placing herself in a position of superiority to all who appear in front of her. She is slow to rule on cases, letting those convicted in her court to languish in prison. When presented with exculpatory evidence, she sits on it without ruling. She encourages abuse of power by the federal prosecutors appearing in front of her as well as making overly broad interpretations of existing law as long as it favors the prosecution. One has to wonder how many innocent people are in prison because of her.

I agree with these negative ccomments. Arrogant, stupid, rude. Completely un- disinguished in her schooling and professional career before her annointment, It's scary that she, and others, have a lifetime appointment.

Either she has an agenda or is totally confused. The worst part is she doesn't eve comprehend what the issues are yet displays an arrogant superior veneer that conveys an attitude that you don't know what is going on.Nurse Ratchett indeed.

She is an idiot who thinks she's a genius, a deadly combination. I had an oral argument in front of her that focused entirely on something that was so clearly not an issue that neither opposing counsel nor I had any idea how to answer her moronic questions, and then she decided the case on an issue for which oral argument would have been very valuable. The 'others' who liked her must have been paid . . .

We must, regrettably, echo the negative comments of the vast majority of those lodged already. It is remarkable how similar our completely disparate experience was, to those stated below. This judge belongs nowhere near a federal or state bench.

A prime example of right wing judicial bias, laziness and arbitrariness. If you are a civil plaintiff, count on getting screwed regardless of the merits. If you are a corporate defendant, rest easy.
