Let's hope someone checks out her expense account, too. My bet is they'll find a lot of special expenses for bon-bon's.

LAS VEGAS, (AP) -- Elizabeth Halverson is a judge. But the way courthouse staffers see it, she expects to be treated like a queen.
Her former bailiff, for example, says Halverson made him feel like a "houseboy." He says the judge — who is obese and uses a motorized scooter to get around — made him put her shoes on her feet, massage her back, cover her with a blanket for naps and make sure her oxygen tank was filled. He says she asked him, "Do you want to worship me from near or afar?"
Halverson also surrounded herself with her own hired guards, saying she did not trust the courthouse security force to protect her. Another time, she allegedly had her husband sworn in so that she could ask him under oath if he had completed chores at home.
Since then, the 50-year-old Nevada district judge has been locked out of her Las Vegas courtroom, suspended from the bench and brought up on judicial-misconduct charges that include not only misusing her position and treating her staff like personal valets, but also tainting juries and falling asleep on the bench.

Is that an oxygen bubble under her chin? She looks ready to blow up.

Elected by the county voters and, sadly, a Republican.
I should be ashamed of myself.
Hell, all I have to do is show up for trial with cheesecake and I’ll win hands down.
There’s someone that would inspire a lot of confidence and respect in the court.

Looks like the blanket was just pulled off her head in that pic.
LOL! This woman's got serious problems, but her behavior erodes my sympathy.
Must have been built by Norm.
“Elected by the county voters and, sadly, a Republican.”
Republican, yes, but as far as conservative, I don’t think that applies, especially to her eating habits.
Although, that isn’t the reason she should be removed.
