Ive had two years to think about this, Judge Cynthia Brim said Friday downtown before the seven-member Illinois Courts Commission. I have a different understanding and perspective of my condition.
The commission is considering a complaint filed by the states Judicial Inquiry Board. A board attorney argued Friday that Brim remains mentally unable to perform her duties.
But Brim who has been diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type and has been hospitalized multiple times for mental illness since 1993 said she now knows she must carefully monitor her condition and keep taking medication regularly.
Youre not expecting to be cured? asked John Gallo, an attorney representing the inquiry board.
Im expecting to be maintained, as long as I take the medications prescribed, Brim said.
In February 2013, a Cook County judge found Brim not guilty by reason of insanity in a bizarre case that involved Brim allegedly marching into the Daley Center two years ago this month, where she then was accused of shoving a sheriffs deputy. A day earlier, Brim, by her own admission, had a meltdown while she was on the bench at the Markham courthouse telling the gallery that police in Evergreen Park and South Holland targeted minorities.

What is strange is the realization government at all levels attracts the mentally ill, the evil, habitual liars, and those obsessed with control.
No joke...

She’s a democrat.
How the heck did they figure out she was schizophrenic in the first place?

Why would she settle for being reinstated to the bench, when she is clearly qualified to be the Majority Democrat in the House, the Senate, and even the President of the U. S., if we’re going by who fills these positions now?

Dennis Rader, a serial killer known as the "BTK killer", took a long hiatus from his murderous rampage.
Why? He was working in code enforcement.
He got enough job satisfaction tormenting homeowners over the size of their decks and such that he didn't feel the need to bind, torture and kill young women...

I know there are several Supremes she could replace without missing a beat. Who knows, maybe during one of her psychotic episodes she might actually make a correct ruling (unlike the the cadre of Marxists jurists who always get it wrong).
