Court Commissioner Shama Mesiwala sees her new job as a way to represent her Muslim faith
Sacramento Bee ^ | February 11, 2017 | Darrell Smith

Posted on 02/12/2017 9:21:04 AM PST by artichokegrower

She says almost immediately that she’s overwhelmed – by the honor, by the trust placed in her by the county’s judges, by the opportunity to represent her faith and live out the hopes and dreams her parents carried from India to America a generation ago.

When Shama H. Mesiwala, 42, raised her right hand Monday to be sworn in as the newest Sacramento Superior Court commissioner, she also marked another distinction as one of the state’s few Muslim judicial officials.

I’m really proud I can represent my faith in this way.


Now if a Christian court commissioner made a similar statement that would be also praised?

Sharia Law perhaps?

Um, no, Shamalama ding dong. You are there do a job as court commissioner.

Everything is identity politics with the left.

And the other meat puppets pat themselves on the back.

Don’t know what a Superior Court commissioner does but I do know this is the camel’s nose under the tent.

First a “Wise Latina” bringing her bias and discrimination to the US Supreme Court, now this.

Wait until the courts are loaded with muslim judges.

Alahu Akbar !

If a muslim attacks and/or kills a Jew or Christian and goes to court before a muslim judge how do you think that will turn out?

We are slowly being sharia ized, we sleep and they creep. Once their population reaches a majority America is done. We have our very own enemies within that are helping them destroy this country

Court commissioners are normally judge assistants.

The attitude reflected by this clown is all too common among members of the judiciary. Such attitude is often expressed by these as “making a difference.” A judges job is NOT to “make a difference” but to render just judgement upon the law and the facts. Judges like this woman should be instantly removed from office.

We don’t need anyone in public office who wants to replace the Constitution with sharia! Get out!

Interesting. Will she happily preside over homosexual marriages, or issue marriage licenses for them? If so, then she certainly wouldn’t be ‘living out her faith’, which considers homosexuality an abomination.

Commissioners exercise the same powers and duties as trial court judges on matters such as small-claims actions and infractions and can serve as temporary judges in court cases. They are appointed by the Superior Court judges....

Mesiwala, a senior judicial attorney for California’s 3rd District Court of Appeal, law professor and co-founder of the South Asian Bar Association of Sacramento, will handle juvenile dependency cases, a passion of Mesiwala’s since her earliest days in law.


how much damage can she do ?

No, you witch. Everything, especially the law, isn't about you or your faith. Resign now. You do not belong in a courtroom except for the other side of the bench. There is a reason Lady Justice is blind and the scales balanced.

“Separation of church and state” honey. Your job is to assist the judge in upholding and applying the law. That’s it.
