I think the real line here is between (1) people who understand the law and generally aren't bothered by the off-color remarks in this case, and (2) people who either don't understand the law or are personally offended by the judge's comments.  I'd guess the conservative/liberal split is actually pretty mixed.

This is the type of person that tunes in to Nancy Grace.

FWIW - I do think the judge deserves some criticism for saying anything to suggest she wished prison rape on the guy, but that's because I'm a softy and live under the ideal that most people who go to prison are capable of turning their lives around if given the right encouragement and opportunities.  Still, she deserves a lot of slack for having sat through testimony that should make anyone's blood boil.

She was out of line and self promoting but I really only care in so much as it effected her job.  I think she came to the same sentence almost any judge would.  That is impartial and justice as far as I'm concerned.

I must have missed her implying anything to do with prison rape.

Judges and courtrooms don't usually allow laughter, clapping, loud gasps, etc. It's whatever.The POS is gone.

It is a bedrock of our legal system that judges must be impartial. That doesn’t mean a judge can’t levy a heavy sentence or explain, in frank terms, the reason for those heavy sentences. But this judge crossed the line from impartial judge to advocate when she made comments like “it’s my honor to sentence you”, “I’m delivering your death warrant”, and “if I could, I’d add some prison rape” (paraphrasing, but essentially what she said).

But you don’t have to take my word for it - there are numerous liberal outlets that agree. Here is another.

Sure.  I'm just saying that it's not uncommon for judge's to make sometimes off-color remarks when sentencing.  They're not robots.  And given the discretion judge's have in sentencing, it really doesn't make a difference. 

Just a weird thing to get up in arms about.

Ultimately that's how I feel. She had to sit there for weeks hearing one horrible story after another, I don't think really any person after that can properly contain themselves after that, and it didn't really affect the outcome of the case, it wasn't ever going to. I took it as an absolute end of the disgust of having to hear girls from ages as young as 6 being sexually abused by this guy. Was it a bit over the top? Sure, but given the circumstances, and given WTF Nassar was doing, it pales in comparison, and is ultimately neither here nor there.

I think a lot of people were WTF'ing because they (a) forget he pleaded guilty and/or (b) haven't seen very many sentencings before.

I definitely have never seen a plea deal before, so this is very true.

I believe that she has turned down numerous media appearances since?

Because of the possibility of appeals still?

On the first day of the hearing, she mused about allowing “many people” to sexually assault Nassar if she were permitted to.

“Our Constitution does not allow for cruel and unusual punishment,” she said. “If it did, I have to say, I might allow what he did to all of these beautiful souls ? these young women in their childhood ? I would allow some or many people to do to him what he did to others.”

Why even have a sentencing hearing?

Yes I think that line is inappropriate.
