and then move on

Translation: Get away with it.

I don't agree.

She got a fairly steep sentence for a first offence DUI where nobody was injured.

Let's not treat her differently just because she is a Rat.

[Steely Tom]

I love this 0.216 is "more that twice 0.08."

It's almost three times 0.08.

I wonder how this ratio would have been described if a Republican supreme court judge was pulled over for driving while shnockered.

She got the usual sentence, as expected. With all due respect, what did you think might or should happen? Execution and flogging are not currently permissible. She won't be disbarred as this was not a felony.

[AppyPappy]

Kick her off the Supreme Court.

Watch the videos of the arrest, where the tries to get off by claiming she helps cops with their cases...She should be removed from the bench

Oh come on!

How many "Cops" episodes have you see where the DUI driver says the most ridiculous things?

"You know who I am?", etc.

The law MUST be applied equally in ALL cases, otherwise the law is useless.

I'm from Ohio and trust me here, she was beaten up so hard by the Columbus media that I felt sorry for her. We must have watched her pathetic OMVI videotape 50 times. She got no breaks, none. The media reveled in the bringing down of a Supreme Ct. judge.
Also for the record .0216 is closer to three times than two, but more than twice is true and pretty fair.

[clee1]

A Bar Assn complaint, OTOH, has nothing whatever to do with her DUI sentence.

She SHOULD be disbarred, which will take her off the bench, unless Ohio is one of those states where you don't have to be a lawyer to be a judge.

[don'tbedenied]

In Ohio the voters do that, the Muni Ct judge doesn't have quite that much jurisdiction.

[flutters]

I haven't found a video link showing that part. I've seen it quoted in stories, but no link. Where did you see it?

Well, OK, I'm mollified. But still, how many times have you heard the phrase "three times the legal limit." Anyway, nice to know this wasn't soft-pedaled in Ohio. That's where it counts, anyway.

>>>>A Bar Assn complaint, OTOH, has nothing whatever to do with her DUI sentence. She SHOULD be disbarred<<<<

I have never seen this happen in Ohio for a first time OMVI. Actually I've never seen an OMVI lead to disbarment period (in Ohio).

[don'tbedenied]

Yeah, I'd love to see her run again. She's done politically, as she should be.

[ProudVet77]

See what alcohol do to you?

This story is a great example of what's right with America. We are a nation governed by law (Lex Rex)not by men (Rex Lex)

Too bad for her she isn't in Wisconsin. There - a Democratic AG got to drive drunk and retain her job. When you see her today she is with a shaved head - to remind everyone that she is undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer. Of course, I could shave my head and issue a press release indicating I was undergoing chemotherapy too, and other than being male (and we do get breast cancer, but at a trivial rate compared to women), no one would be the wiser. With medical records privacy there is essentially no way for a reporter to confirm such  a story - and one need only look at any reference to her in The Capital Times (a la "Sen. Kerry, a Vietnam Veteran") to be constantly reminded of her status as a cancer patient. Allegedly.

It is a shame that Peggy Lautenschlager is still Attorney General in Wisconsin.
