Judge Aliyah Sabree, who has the No. 2 leadership post at the court, released a statement Wednesday night, saying King’s conduct “does not reflect the standards we uphold at 36th District Court.”
If someone does a thing and isn’t stopped or reprimanded then their actions do reflect the standards because those things happened. If your court lets a judge treat a child like a criminal for falling asleep, that is who you are as a court.
Fuck anyone who says “this isn’t who we are” and doesn’t actually do anything to prove that is the case.
It's just PR to protect themselves, not about actually doing fuck all about what just transpired. Many people like this show such cowardice to make a difference.
I want to say that the issue in this case with stopping him is that the other judge wasn’t present to alter it. But then you are still right because presumably that other judge is never there to stop this kind of thing.
As if it’s just “one bad apple” and if someone else had been there this person would’ve been reprimanded for this arbitrary scared straight bullshit.
Nah, even if there had been a second judge and they had been there and thought it crazy, they probably still would’ve defended their judge friend’s decision.
Fortunately this particular judicial position does require the officeholder to be a licensed attorney in good standing and answerable to the bar, which gives extra disciplinary and training options.
Amazingly, most judges do not have that requirement. In fact, even SCOTUS justices don’t have to be attorneys. They all are, but there’s not actually a requirement for it.
Plenty of people got slapped with crimes during the pandemic for hoarding resources and charging insane prices. We never had price caps on toilet paper or hand sanitizer but we still punished bad actors
I’m still waiting for the tax lawyers to figure out that this will apply to the IRS as well. I’ve seen a couple rumblings about it on attorney websites already.
King told WXYZ that he spoke to the girl’s parents and offered to be a mentor.
This guy is a psychopath. He just traumatized this girl and now he wants to have influence in her life? Yikes. It sounds like he wants to finish the job of making her life hell.
Heysus. After watching the whole Biden/Trump debacle, and hurting like hell, I’m all in for this one. Even more so for the Harris/Trump debate. Not going to miss a single word those nights. Pay. Back. Time.
Good riddance and should have been sooner. Not only did she personally order violence against her students and staff, resulting in a no-confidence vote from her faculty, but her heavy-handed response to the early low-key protest is what kicked off the more forceful campus protests across the country. It’s amazing that such a failure lasted as long as she did. The other resignees were pushed out after mistakenly treating a political witch hunt by actual antisemites like a good faith discussion, this lady actually massively failed at her job and is personally responsible for the “period of turmoil” at both her campus and across the country.
She could have just let students camp on the lawn with their signs until they got tired of it.
As someone who’s worked multiple elections, your ballot is never tied to your name/ID. Even if someone broke into the box and stole the ballots, there’s no way to know whos is who.
When ballots are audited/recounted, its based on things like the number of ballots vs the number of recorded voters, the signature of the precinct officer, and the qualities of the ballot itself. No identifying informationm.
Honest question : on mail in ballots even though you name is on the envelope, doesn’t the envelope get separated from the ballot? So there is no real way to know who voted for whom? @recklessengagement
My state mail in procedure is to send your ballot in an envelope without identifying info, and that envelope goes inside a larger envelope so they can verify you. I assume they separate it for counting later
