Judge Jeanine Pirro is all about "law and order" until the pedal hits the metal.
The night before being ticketed for excessive speeding on an upstate New York roadway, the Fox News host ranted about the importance of "the law each and every one of us must follow."
"I say law and order and truth and justice are the very foundations of this Republic," Pirro proclaimed during her namesake show Saturday night as part of a long tirade about a widely debunked conspiracy theory that Hillary Clinton sold uranium to Russia.
Less than 24 hours later, Pirro was pulled over by state troopers in the Town of Nichols after she was clocked driving 119 mph in a 65 mph zone.
Cops slammed her with a ticket for excessive speeding, a police spokesman confirmed. It was not immediately known what type of car Pirro was driving or whether she had any passengers.
Pirro has to return the ticket by mail or in person by Jan. 8.
The 66-year-old TV judge said she was en route to see her sick mother when cops pulled her over.
"I had been driving for hours to visit my ailing 89-year-old mom and didn't realize how fast I was driving," Pirro said in a statement circulated by Fox News. "I believe in the rule of law and I will pay the consequences."
A conviction of driving more than 40 mph above the speed limit could result in suspension of the driver's license, according to the DMV website. The driver can also be ordered to pay a Driver Responsibility Assessment for three years.
It was not immediately clear what consequences Pirro is facing but a State Police spokesman said she was only hit with a speeding charge.
She’s held up well if she is 66 years old.
“widely debunked”???
She is paying the penalty for an infraction (not a crime). That is NOT challenging the rule of law. I’m surprised she didn’t get reckless driving.
What was she driving?
They're "alternate tax" collection regulations.
The author can shove it up his or her nose.
A nip here and a tuck there...
She is HIGH ENERGY and now we know, big horsepower!
She’s a piker. I did a Porsche ride and drive event at Kentucky Motor Speedway a couple months ago. Took out a Porsche Panamera GTS and hit 129 mph between Warsaw, Kentucky and the Speedway.
In Germany, 160 mph is nothing. Big Mercedes, BMWs and ‘Vettes will blow past you all day long.
I heard a BMW.
She admitted she was at fault.

"...ailing mother..."
Pirro proclaimed during her namesake show Saturday night as part of a long tirade about a widely debunked conspiracy theory that Hillary Clinton sold uranium to Russia....
widely debunked conspiracy theory?
She’s still VERY not guilty.
And Judge, if you are reading this and you lose your license, I would be really happy to drive you around. Freepmail me...
A Cadillac.
Her mommy was sick. And I think she is really sorry. And .... she’s pretty.
Must be their way of saying “successfully whitewashed”
