Make Judge James M. Burke of NYC Resign

The Issue

Judge James M. Burke, acting for the NYC Criminal Court and the First District of New York Supreme Court, has restricted Habeas Corpus in NYC and is allowing the police to hold protestors without honoring their rights. He holds an electable position and is up for re-election in 2022. WE CAN'T WAIT THAT LONG. Judge James M. Burke needs to resign right now, and release the protestors he is helping the police to hold ILLEGALLY. 

"One has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws." - Martin Luther King Jr. 

RIGHT NOW, Mr. Burke.
