Yelling judges.

[Tomconroy]

People may not realize but it's pretty common. I remember one time a judge wasn't doing what I wanted so I suggested he put the case down on a day he wouldn't be there. I think he's still screaming at me.

1. Sometimes they do not like the question.

All I asked was, How many days?
His finished his rant by saying if he ever had in in his courtroom again he was throwing the book at me.

The whole story is that I was ticketed for walking on shoulder of highway not facing traffic. A bullshit ticket for which he banged the gavel and said, Ten dollar fine. That's when I asked how many days.
He again said ten dollars.

My retort was that I would rather go to jail than pay a fine for a ticket like this.

I guess he didn't like my reasoning any more than he liked the question.

4. Good for you!

2. I wish there was a way to hold judges accountable for

their actions more than we do now. They have a lot of latitude to do as they please in their courts and there's very little that can be done about it, except in cases where judges are elected.

But what can we do? They can be impeached, but that's hard to do. In some cases they can be voted out, but those are usually lower level judges (although in my state, Supreme Court judges are elected). Maybe we could have panels of elected members oversee the appointed judges.

I don't think that would work for federal judges, though. It would probably be unconstitutional. Wish there was a solution, because they really go too far sometimes, too often for my taste.

5. They don't like to get critcised in the press. Usually very thin skinned. Like Alito.

6. This judge in the Rittenhouse trial must be going out of his mind now.

He's getting raked over the coals in the press. Feel sorry for the poor people who are working for him right now.

8. May only do Fox.

9. I doubt he just started to go out of his mind.

As for the people working for him they might be like him.

3. The ones you have to watch out for are the ones who don't yell.

They are usually a lot smarter than you.

7. I don't think the problem is a yelling judge

I think the problem is a judge who yells only at one side. One side cannot do right for him it seems, while the other side can't do wrong.
