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.
Up here bureaucrats are offered judgeships when they age to fatten their state retirement. Get better bennies.
I suspect same here.
Prejudiced, to be sure. 8<)
You could almost read this about her and think they’re talking about Hitlery.
Any one who is involved in giving this person a judgeship is a real sick individual. Not to mention the unsanitary aspects of seeing some shit their self in public
I have Gastropresis a digestive disorder slow digestion, with strict diet weight can be controlled, being that FAT she also has DIABETES, and those meds have diarrhea as side effect. If you can’t control it wear a diaper. And breathing issues, when it is that severe you end up on Disability, as leaving the house without a diaper on is impossible, take several along as you will need to change often. Very unsanitary for service people to handle her type human waste. Cheaper to buy her out as a declared disabled person.
“One would think she was eligible for several types of disability payment...”
I’m sure she felt she had more to “contribute” prior to retiring. It’s a shame most of that contribution slips past her Depends.
Even Boss Tweed wouldn’t put someone like that on the bench.
For Democrats qualifications are never important when giving someone a job. They only ask is he/she a good Democrat?
“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.”
********************
She’s just physically demonstrating how many if not most judges treat the constitution and citizens rights.
No one should be forced to clean up her diarrhea or get her new chairs. She should have had enough sense to resign instead of trying to force people around her to deal with a such a grotesque health hazard.
I used to do training on bloodborne pathogens and bodily fluids procedures. This diarrhea thing in the workplace should be a violation of OSHA or similar.
The saying, “You get what you pay for” comes to mind.
Extreme self-abuse, getting that fat. Where did her self-hatred originate?
From being a LIB loser?
Bingo!
First time she looked in a mirror I’d say.
On the other hand, she holds herself in high esteem if she expects others
to clean up her poop.
She’s a degenerate. Not because of her ailments, but because she accepted a job she knew damn well she could not do, and she foisted her — ahem — problems onto people outside of her family and friends.
Good morning, Worm your honor...
