More on Utah judge
Bitter has a great posting on more dirt that's coming to light about the Utah judge who, well, went berserk and ordered a guy taken into custody because he dared to respond when she started arguing with him about the evils of hunting. It's pretty serious -- making an ex parte (private, without the other side being notified or involved) contact with a defense attorney, promising to reduce his client's sentence, and telling him not to let the prosecution know about the call. We're talking some grossly unethical judicial conduct here.
UPDATE: sorry, been so busy I thought I'd blogged the story before. Bitter at TheBitchGirls has been following it from the beginning. Here's what the judge did in the courtroom. Basically, starts a lecture on how sweet deer are and how terrible it is to hunt them, then when a spectator walks out, orders him brought back, starts to debate him, and when he answers politely has him seized and held in custody.
Here's her followup story, and here's another.

Do you have a link to the story involving the hunting argument?
Most of us familiar with her plan on voting her out come election time; she has no business sitting on the bench with her mindset and attitudes. Basically she uses it as a captive audience for her BS and and place to push her opinions on others.
