wnd.com is an aggressively evangelical Chistian propaganda front specializing in sensationalistic stories like the above instance or, this just in, "Mom had husband rape daughter for bizarre reason" and "Obama's Iran deal falls on ominous Bible date". I would either not bother reading their material or have an extra helping of skepticism handy. Hardly worth serious debate efforts.

Wow. If this is true, this judge out to be impeached, disbarred, and subjected to his own punishments.

For the next five years.

Yet another illustration of why there can be NO substitute for making everyone -- including officials of all three branches -- accountable to victims in a court of law when they violate their rights.

If we are going to have laws, no one can be above them.

There is more to this than meets the eye: Why did she ask the judge to recuse himself? Was there something about the case itself that caused such an extreme reaction?

I do not think we have the whole story; I am not inclined to comment further until I do know more. But my spidy sense is tingling.

I think you should read the court documents referenced before posting this nonsense. I've heard of situations like this, but to read only the details listed in the court findings is scary. Both the nut woman that started all of this and the attorney referenced need serious therapy if not jail time. The terrible thing is what the 5 children have gone through at the hands of their mother, advocated for by the woman's final attorney (after several others dropped her like a hot rock) making these insane allegations. This is a travesty.
Edit: Clarity

Her lawsuit alleges she was jailed all night. They turned off the heat so temperatures dropped to near freezing, and they removed the bed, blanket, and toilet paper from the room. They would come in every hour or so and threaten her, touch her, or take her picture. If even half of that is true, these court law enforcement officers are hardcore criminals.

That should prove interesting.

Another sign of the deterioration into madness that is becoming more frequent day by day.

Sounds like a book, ah hummmm.

Oh yea, Orwells' 1984.

There are tactics right out of Soviet Russia, comrade.
If proven true, those people need to go to jail for a very long time.

That is very shocking. I don't know if "judicial im-
munity" would still apply, were he taken off the
bench. But I think he CAN be taken off the bench;
there was a judge in Ohio who dismissed a rape
(I think gang rape) case because he disapproved\
of what the victim was wearing (I read it was
a sweatshirt, jeans and bowling shoes); he was
taken off the bench in 1977. Perhaps if that
happened, the lawyer could go after him after
that and take some physical revenge, and then
maybe get off on grounds of provocation (al-
though I doubt it; that's taking the law into your
own hands, but still there might be a sort of
mitigated penalty).

I know I may be jumping to conclusions, but when I read "...MacDonald Shimota, a divorce lawyer and activist..." I immediately thought of the b.s. accusations of members of the Duke LaCross team and of Rolling Stone's recent false smearing of a frat at UVA and of the university itself.
