Holy crap!

So in order to bring home federal money ($900K) we gather together women in a courtroom before a “booze judge” who will incarcerate them. So cops can now set their alcohol detecting flashlights to show elevated alcohol consumption and sweep in the defendants.

I also like the automatic arrests of citizens who object to blowing into a breathalyzer. That’s an automatic trip to the booze judge.

Oh and another thing:

Our appellate courts can affirm booze judge convictions to guarantee the flow of federal money. The booze judge can sanitize the record and whip out any decision she wants and this will be affirmed on appeal. The appellate court clerk can be mandated to affirm all appeals of booze judge orders. Patently absurd decisions can be cleverly argued by the government appellate counsel and an appellate decision can cover up the fraud by attacking the defense counsel.

Such an appellate decision can be marked “unpublished”.

If an attorney cries out about the fraud, the appellate court can recommend pulling his license.

Peter - At first, I was tempted to dismiss you as just another whacko creation of the blog master designed to generate traffic (which seems not to be happening no matter what is done), but then there was the oddity of your using a real name, so I thought I’d try to find out what’s going on.  The following letter to Judge Kaye seems to fill in much of the story.  http://www.familyunity.com/cases/posted/case09.pdf I’m sorry about your child, but venting on (just about) every story on this blog is not likely to win you many allies.  You might want to pick your spots a little more selectively, and try to get your rhetoric (and probably thinking) a little more under control.

Pushkin,

After I read this story, I recalled a case I had in Georgia in Forsythe County where the drug judge there used the unfair prejudice available with “drugs” to coerce a man into giving up his 50/50 parenting time with his child.

The urine sample was taken in a bathroom next to the judge’s bench. The sample was then taken across the street to a testing facility where it was tested - while the father and his counsel were in the courtroom. A man from the facility came in to the drug judge’s courtroom and announced a positive for marijuana.

Also, in that case, a local psychologist assessed the father for drug addiction without ever having seen the father. It took two depositions, the recusal of all the judges in Forsythe County and two years to restore the father’s parenting time to 50/50.

If you contact me privately, I’ll give you the name of the father, an industrial psychologist.

My own story had nothing to do with either the drug judge in Forsythe County or the booze judge in this story. I am not venting. I do not comment on every story. I am not engaging in rhetoric.

I am representing living clients who are going through these nightmares and I report everything on the internet. You don’t have to read it if you don’t like it.

YOU GO GIRL!!!

Of course they show improvement. No one is better at playing the system in order to hide an alcohol addiction than a functional alcoholic who has been caught.

The fact that women tend to be supremely judgmental about each other, and perhaps in denial that they are just like the others in the room, no doubt facilitates this federally funded illusion.

Ladies Days?  That means something else here.
