Comments on: Slap on the Wrist for “Spanking Judge”: Texas Commission Fails To Remove Judge Who Ordered Spankings In Courtroom http://jonathanturley.org/2009/04/05/spanking/ Res ipsa loquitur ("The thing itself speaks") Sat, 11 Feb 2012 03:37:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Judge threatens lightning bolt http://jonathanturley.org/2009/04/05/spanking/#comment-49090 Thu, 23 Apr 2009 06:26:20 +0000 http://jonathanturley.org/?p=9682#comment-49090 During the Texas judge’s temporary orders for my divorce, the judge sided with my university-professor husband by instructing me to hand over my personal laptop. To add weight to his wise decision, he stated:

“Don’t accidentally delete anything. Don’t let the Lord God All Mighty send a stroke of lightning down…Because I will blame it on you, just like ‘The Godfather,’ I’m serious.”

To that I replied, “We’ve had a strike of lightning in April of this year, sir, that destroyed our home.”

“…You remove the information off that you want off of that computer, copy it only onto disk and then he gets the lap laptop.”

If you were my attorney, how would you defend me against such a judge? The irony is that a lightning bolt really did destroy my new house one year ago today.

“Allowing a judge who orders children physically punsihed in his courtroom to contiue on the bench is a decision that undermines the credibility of the Texas court system as a whole”

“Allowing a fool to frolic and wear an oversized bowtie while wearing floppy shoes undermines the credibility of the circus clown college.”

These two sentances are very similar! How many differences can you spot?

Spare the rod and spoil the child. If the parents won’t do it, perhaps the legal system should.

Really, nothing colloquial about his behaviour. He does not have my blessing, nor probably a lot of others. But, at least you know where you stand. Ouch.
