“Well, judges can be impeached, that's something that can be done,” she told The Independent. “There's more things that we need to look into. But it's completely wrong that they use their courtrooms as political weapons simply because they don't like the politics of the people that committed the crimesthat are that are showing up in their courtrooms.”
republican appointed judges in the cases did indeed send people to prison. In fact Trump appointed judges liked to acquit a LOT of the cases. so Marge here is literally just speaking actual non sense.

federal judge handed down verdicts Tuesday in the trial of three Jan. 6 defendants that could have a major impact on the trajectory of Capitol attack prosecutions going forward.
Patrick McCaughey, Tristan Stevens and David Mehaffie were found guilty on most but not all charges. They had appeared for a bench, or nonjury, trial before U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden, a Donald Trump appointee who is the only federal judge in Washington, D.C., who has acquitted a Jan. 6 defendant.
Each defendant faced a number of criminal charges, including felony counts of assaulting, resisting or impeding officers and aiding and abetting; obstruction of an official proceeding; and civil disorder.

Trump-appointed judges sentenced 19 percent of the 21 defendants appearing before them to jail.

I mean would it be that bad if all the Trump judges got kicked off their benches and Biden had to replace them all? Wouldnt be that bad I guess..
