suspended from the bench

That's one helluva bench, I'll tell ya.

LOL. What a piece of work! Glad she's off the bench.

Ok, regardless of the good or bad, or right or wrong, I got a good giggle reading this excerpt. What a priss! :D Note to the honorable judge: there are no queens in the USA. Try Britain.

Do we know who appointd her? Or are District Judges elected?

[San Jacinto]

Guilty!

[The KG9 Kid]

I love this state.

He says the judge — who is obese and uses a motorized scooter to get around...

She should look into a career as a Wal-Mart greeter, since she probably won't be a judge much longer.

[Michael.SF.]

This reads like a portent of the Clinton II presidency.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Elected. Just answered my own question.

Reading the article helps. ;-)

This posting was calling for a picture, which I am sorry to say follows. Hugh BARF Alert!!!

This judge sounds like a real fruitcake. Here's a piece on her from a year ago.

Judge Halverson banned from courthouse

Where’s the judge? Is she behind that bus?

[Resolute Conservative]

Sorry, this may be a little un-PC but here it goes. How can a person disabled enough to require a scooter and oxygen expected to have a mind that is oxygen fed enough that they have enough gray matter to make intelligent decisions that affect a person’s liberty? The folks I have been around that require oxygen, while very social, are concentrating on breathing so much they cannot process complex items.

One of my peeves is judges appointed for life with no way to relieve them when their health fails ( at least not while a Republican is in office ).

[Just another Joe]

They are elected directly by vote of the public.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

GUILTY!!!!

AAaauuuugghhhh!!!!

"Jeffrey Stempel, a law professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, said he is troubled by what appears to be an attempt to "micromanage" a judge.

"Judicial removal should generally be reserved for corruption and complete incompetence or inability to do the job," Stempel said. "One question you have to ask is, `Is this judge so bad we have to remove her before the voters have a chance to do so?'""

In a word - YES!
