this blog we’re not afraid to ask – and answer – the tough questions. And today’s question is - 'should a clinically certified lunatic whom the Council of Lawyers deem legally 'unqualified' be appointed a Circuit Court judge?'
A tricky one, you'll agree. Let me help with some background.
Judge Cynthia Brim of the Chicago Circuit Court (mugshot on the left) has 'form', which culminated in a spectacular courtroom chimpout earlier this year in which she descended from the bench and waded into the crown, scattering all before her and finally assaulting a sheriff. Prior to this she had gone on a 45 minute rant in which she berated police for prosecuting so many blacks, shrieking to the blacks in the courtroom that the white law enforcement officers had 'raped our ancestors'. She then ran around with her hands to her head reciting various phone numbers and addresses, again and again.
By this time, having whipped up the black criminals into a frenzy, the men in white coats stepped in whereupon she was subdued and lead from the court. Following an examination by a court-appointed psychiatrist she was diagnosed as 'legally insane' (although many of you might think that this was perfectly normal behaviour for a black 'judge') and temporarily removed from duty. But she continues to draw her $180,000 salary....and worth every penny too.
The good news is that it looks like this latter-day Oliver Wendell Holmes is going to be re-elected to the Chicago Circuit Court on November 7. Her District is 80% black and they don't worry too much about incidentals like being unqualified and insane. Hey, nobody's perfect, right? And you know what, they could be right. Just check out these lunatics here, here and here on this side of the pond.
