The all-Democratic city council in suburban White Plains, N.Y., gave its party chairperson a six-figure judicial seat despite the fact that she is too obese to climb the three steps to the bench.
City judge Elizabeth Shollenberger, who suffers from a digestive disorder and obesity, was appointed to the $175,500-a-year job in December and has since disgusted her colleagues with gastrointestinal issues.
“She would come in and we would see the diarrhea running down her leg and to the floor,” one court worker told the NY Post. “She would soil the chair and then ask for a new one.”
Shollenberger further dismayed her colleagues by displaying “complete arrogance” following the embarrassing incidents.
“She would just say, ‘There is a mess over there. I think someone should clean it up,'” a court source told the NY Post.

City Judicial Review Committee member Mark Elliott publicly accused White Plains Mayor Tom Roach of ensuring “the fix was in” for Shollenberger, who served as his campaign treasurer. Elliot previously slammed Roach in an email after the City Council ignored the committee’s rejection of Shollenberger, who Elliott described as a “machine politician.”
The committee decided not to approve Shollenberger for the position after realizing she was not fit to work during her interview.
“She came to the interview with an oxygen tank. She’s very fragile,” Elliott told the NY Post. “No reasonable person could have looked at her as I did and thought that she could finish her 10-year term.”
Shollenberger, 61, put her $65,000 in annual health benefits to work almost immediately, taking the first of several health leaves only one week after beginning her term.
Council member Milagros Lecuona accused Roach, who he will challenge for the mayoralty this year, of forcing through Shollenberger’s appointment despite the committee’s rejection “to make sure he’d have the support of the chair of the Democratic Party” for his re-election bid.
“If I knew what I know now, I would not have voted to support her,” Lecuona told the NY Post. “This is going to be a big problem for the taxpayers. It’s financially very irresponsible.”
Shollenberger’s husband called the complaints a “grotesque distortion” and a “hysterical overreaction to what was a minor health incident.”
The Office of Court Administration determined she was “unable to perform her job,” after receiving multiple reports regarding her incontinence, a high-level court source told the NY Post.
Shollenberger has been prohibited from receiving any new cases and her current case load has been distributed to other jurists but she wishes to continue serving in her current post.
“I have no intention of retiring. I want to work. I want to be a judge. Judges get sick all the time,” she said.
Shollenberger’s spokesperson called the court staffers complaints “quite a conspiracy theory,” and added that she would dispute all of their claims.
“The situation remains under review,” OCA spokesman Lucian Chalfen told the NY Post.
One would think she was eligible for several types of disability payment. She knows the law (?), I’m surprised this wasn’t already set up to last throughout retirement.
Maybe she wanted to ‘Settle For More’.
I expect nothing less of New York. Congrats.
Hart tip... Pink Floyd
So disgusted with autocorrect, I’m not even fixing it anymore.
Typical DIMocRAT loser...typical. Hahaha.
Hey - with her gastrointestinal problems she probably had this all figured out from that Southpark meme.
Step 1. Collect underpants.
Step 2. ?
Step 3. PROFIT
Step 2a. Soil numerous underpants several times a day. Bonus for how many times they get you a new chair.
Step 2b. Take numerous vacat...um, SICK days while still getting a paycheck.
Step 2c. Disgust and disrupt coworkers so much that they do your work for you.
Step 2d. Promise never to retire.
Step 2e (to be completed): Sue for $10 million when they offer you early retirement.
A disgusting person. A perfect democrat.
I slightly have “middle-age spread”. I claim “digestive discrimination”.
*snort*
If I were an attorney for a client with a case being heard in her court I wouldn’t take any shit from her.
Yup. Sh*tting on us, then demanding we clean up the mess. Obama sh*t on all of us, blamed his predecessor for the stinky mess, then when Trump becomes President and starts cleaning up the mess, Obama comes around again trying to spread the mess around again. Yup, today's democratic party is full of sh*t.
Isn’t that something?
[[“She would come in and we would see the diarrhea running down her leg and to the floor,” one court worker told the NY Post.]]
Bring her up on charges of creating a health hazzard- simple- get OSHA involved- done deal-
Go to a thousand HR recruiters....there’s not a single one that would have hired her for any position, once they see the oxygen tank.
Omg, I was going to joke if Laz would hit this, I wont, this crap cannot be real, you cannot make this chit up.
But she’s a democrat so all is forgiven.......
>>we would see the diarrhea running down her leg
A marathon runner, Uta Pippig I believe, had crap flowing down her leg at one point. Uta Poopig?
>>regarding her incontinence
And incompetence. Should she be able to work? “Depends...”
>>She came to the interview with an oxygen tank
Reminded of scene in John Waters movie Cry Baby (starring Trump hater Johnny Depp) where a woman is wheeled into a courtroom _in an iron lung_ and oxygen tank, and _smoking at the time_. Then the device gets a flat...
This is one way to reach (and rush) a jury’s finding!
a digestive disorder, hysterical overreaction to what was a minor health incident, this is what they do to protect thier own
So far, the most disgusting thing I have ever read. And the most enraging.
