Resnick admitted to having a drink; Justice told police officer that she had 'something' Resnick Zoom By JIM PROVANCE BLADE COLUMBUS BUREAU COLUMBUS - Ohio Supreme Court Justice Alice Robie Resnick admitted to an Ohio Highway Patrol sergeant that she had indeed had something to drink before she was pulled over Monday afternoon for driving under the influence. She had repeatedly denied having consumed alcohol or taken medication when first approached by police at a gas station in Bowling Green and later when pulled over on I-75 South near Cygnet in Wood County. But later, just as Sgt. W.H. Stidham of the Walbridge patrol post was about to administer a portable breath test inside his vehicle, the only Democrat remaining in statewide office admitted she had "something to drink" and then expressed disbelief with the test's result, 0.216 - more than twice the legal limit for driving while intoxicated - a patrol video released yesterday revealed. She was arrested and charged with DUI after the test. The video recorded the audio of their conversation while it remained focused on the police car and highway ahead. " Later, after seeing the results, she said, "Well, I don't believe that." Sergeant. Stidham: "You're showing a 0.216." Justice Resnick: "My God." Sergeant Stidham: "That's well over double what you're allowed to have." Justice Resnick: "I can't believe that. I don't believe that test. Do you have another test that I can take?" The justice plans to change her initial "not guilty" plea on Monday in Bowling Green Municipal Court to "no contest" or "guilty." Contact Jim Provance at: jprovance@theblade.com or 614-221-0496.

If she was a Republican, she'd already be off the court and behind bars. Since she's a Dem, nothing will happen to her.

She's the only Dem on the Court, but Moyer is a friend of Bill Wilson.

Officer, there is no way I am at a .21 BAC level. I only had a few drinks, hic. I am above the law.

Deny, Deny, Deny, brought to you by the official democrat playbook.

You have fudged the headline! Nowhere, I repeat, NOWHERE has this woman been identified in the media as being a dem, thereby, proving that she is, in fact, a dem.

This kind of media bias must stop. To begin that process, we must make an issue of it when we see it!

She should resign. But you have to have a conscience, believe in right and wrong, and feel shame to do the right thing.

With a alcohol rate that high...in most other countries...they'd take your license for minimum of 12 months and the insurance rates would be jacked up by 200 percent. We had a case here in Germany where the guy got caught a second time on a major DWI, and the insurance company came back asking for around $18k a year for coverage...and that was just for liability which is required on every car. Just judging from this amount of alcohol...I'd be guessing that she is a major alcoholic and can't control herself at all. If she doesn't resign from the court by next week...I'd say that she needs to be benched or sent off by the other members of the court to rehab.

I believe the proper term is "Kennedyesque".

Yup. That's the mating call of the Democrat, all right!
