Another one saying the quiet part out loud. Glad she's up for removal from the bench, since she doesn't care about the facts of any case involving the police

Dammit you got the exact quote I picked, while I was reading 😂 Seriously though, how could anyone justify leaving her on the bench after that? She's not fit to be a judge and it turns out she never was. Though if it were to go to SCOTUS I guess she'd be fine...

I wouldn't put it past SCOTUS to insert themselves against all established precedent, but in "normal" times I doubt SCOTUS has any jurisdiction in this state issue
