Michigan judge loses docket after she's recorded insulting gay people and Black people

PONTIAC, Mich. (AP) — A suburban Detroit judge is no longer handling cases after a court official turned over recordings of her making anti-gay insults and referring to Black people as lazy.

Oakland County Probate Judge Kathleen Ryan was removed from her docket on Aug. 27 for unspecified misconduct. Now the court’s administrator has stepped forward to say he blew the whistle on her, secretly recording their phone calls.

“I just want to make it right. … I want to keep my job and do it in peace,” Edward Hutton told WXYZ-TV. “And I want the people in Oakland County that come to court to get a fair shake, to have their day in court, to have an unbiased trier of fact.”

“I’m not systemically racist. I’m a new racist,” said Ryan, who was first elected in 2010.

I’m sorry, afuckinwhat?

Points for honesty, I guess

True. Honesty is an asset I look for in a judge, and ranks just below “Not a racist,” and “Not a homophobe,” but just above, “Doesn’t eat mayonnaise out of the jar.”

It means you need to keep her in the box or she won’t be worth much in the future. You gotta look at vintage racists as an investment.
