No one is exempted with the Law.. That is why all who failed to comply must be given appropriate sanction.

I think she should be gone from the bench as quickly as possible. There is absolutely no room for someone in her position of authority to continue judging people on the exact same things that she is guilty of. What she did was more than a simple moving violation and therefore she need to go into another profession.

As a kid of the 1950s/early 1960s, I was taught to have respect for the legal system. I have had a profound–almost credulous–respect for judges. Lately, that respect has waned through these trying years of the Bush Administration, as evidenced by the endemic corruptness within sectors of the legal system. I realize that judges are ‘just human’ like us all; however, most of them I have known and/or the few I have approached, are beyond reproach to the extent humanly possible. They–like other good officers of the law–put themselves on a legal pedestal and act with honor under the ‘color of their uniform or official legal statuses’ throughout all aspects of their daily lives, professional and personnel.

A judge’s, or other governmental legal employee’s decision to serve society–at relatively modest financial compensation when their skills demand much higher pay outside of public service–is one of the many reasons they deserve the esteem and praise they sometimes receive from the public.

Accepting that our society rests on the pillars of a strong and just legal system, judges of all stripes are the most critical components of government, apart from a strong, although restrained military, which consequently relies on a foundation of sound judicial principles.

Judge Jud.., erm, Curtissa should receive a judicial rebuking and censured for an appropriate period following her payment of the debt to society that all drunken drivers incur, including a public apology to the LEO. Then she must to get back to work, because there are far too few judges throughout the municipal, state, and federal judiciaries.

Caveat: If she misbehaves again and tarnishes the high esteem others and I have for judges, she must resign or be removed and then perhaps given the job as an unarmed bailiff in a ‘Podunk’ municipal court.

Arrogance is never pretty, but couple that with power rooted in judicial authority and you have a recipe for this type of trouble. I vote a suspension and public service , and maybe a program with “Lawyers Helping Lawyers.”

She should be dismissed from her position. She’s a poor example for a judge, especially for the young teenagers she was trying to convience to not drink and drive

This begs the question, has a person ever been convicted of hate crimes against their own race? Obviously it’s possible to be racist against any group, but I wonder if there’s any legal precedent.

“She had previously attracted much media attention for her efforts to combat . . . you guessed it . . . teenage drunk driving.”
