I will have to say that there has been alot going on in the news these days in the political realm, and i am not talking about the candidates. I'm talking about things dealing with the elitist attitude of politicians, governments over stepping their bounds, governments taking away more right and it goes on and on. Never since i began this blog, have i had so much that i could write about. For this month i have been able to write at least on two different topics each day, if not more. On some occasions i have had to pick the best to write about, since there were so many. It just shows that we need to stand up to these intrusions against us.
This one is a bizarre story that just blew my mind of the elitist mentality that some in political life have (the majority of politicians have the attitude, but this one takes the cake). The story is just a complete tangled web of drama. But here goes:
There is a judge in Las Vegas that expects her staffers to treat her like a queen. Now don't get confused with a woman that might be a little high maintenance thinking people should treat her better than most. This woman, who is obese, rides a motorized scooter, and wears an oxygen tank made one of her bailiffs to put on her shoes for her, massage her back, cover her up with blankets while she napped at work, and make sure her oxygen tank was full. She even asked him if he would worship her from near or afar.
This judge hired her own guards that she let bypass security points in the courthouse, because she didn't trust the security force at the courthouse (even though everyone else at the courthouse trusted their security to this force). She even had her husband sworn in to question him, under oath, if he had completed tasks and chores at home.
She has since been locked out of her own courtroom, brought up on judicial misconduct charges for her actions, and suspended from the bench. Some of the actions, other than the ones above, that prompted this action against her include using her staff as personal valets, and also taunting juries in cases, falling asleep on the bench, calling 911 on officials that tried to enter her chambers, hiring a computer technician to hack into courthouse computers, and improperly meeting with juries (that resulted in mistrials for 2 sexual assault cases).
Now while she is suspended, she is still receiving her $130,000 a year salary.
This is a post in Las Vegas that is an elected position. So while she is going through this case against her, she is going through the process of re-election. But she is suing to stop the election due the election commission changing the rules since the last election.
This is a grave signal of how elitist our officials have become. Officials need to know that we are their employers, and they are accountable to us and only us. I hope this woman gets thrown in jail for her actions. I also hope that the tax payers in Las Vegas demand that her salary be stopped immediately, thus keeping them from paying money that is not needed to be spent.
Elitism at its best (or worst if you think like i do)!
Viva Liberty!
