A robed demagogue, nothing more. She seemingly starts writing out the opinion at the first scheduling hearing.

Not the sharpest pencil in the box, tends to favor the government no matter what illegalities have been committed.

Judge Wilken has denied me due process at every turn! She has sat on her hands for 2 1/2 months and not ruled on proceeding in forma pauperis! She has denied ALL my ex parte TRO, and Liz Pendends! I am about to have my house sold fraudulently, and she could care less! Really a horrible district judge!

Judge Wilken reversed her own ruling (in part) after being presented with additional facts in my case.

Completely agree with #5485...Finally someone brought some rationality to an immigration issue that has caused distress and heartache to American citizens and their families!

Really did her homework and wrote a well-crafted order in a complicated area of immigration law.

Terrible judge. Did not even bother to read the defendant's brief and willingly admitted to it in the opening hearing. Disgrace to the state of California and a disgrace to the American Bar Association and a disgrace to the practice of law in the United States.

A credit to the bench. Very smart and diligent. Win, lose or draw, you'll get a fair hearing, and the Judge will have an excellent grasp of the facts and the law. That's all you can really ask for.
