Supreme Court of Georgia orders removal of Judge Christina Peterson
GA. Judge bites the dust.
[WRDW] The Supreme Court of Georgia is ordering the removal of a Douglas County judge who was arrested last week at a Buckhead nightclub.

Douglas County Probate Court Judge Christina Peterson has been charged with a number of violations of the Code of Judicial Conduct (CJC), including a number of violations that the Judicial Qualifications Commission (JQC) says exhibited a pattern of judicial misconduct while in office," the court said in a ruling issued Tuesday morning. "The JQC Hearing Panel found that Judge Peterson violated multiple rules in the CJC and that 2 those violations warrant her removal from the bench
The question now is:
When will they get to Fulton Co. & DA Fanni.

Georgia Supreme Court removes judge accused of pushing cop in foul-mouthed scuffle outside nightclub
[NYPOST] The embattled judge, who was elected and sworn into office in December 2020, was at one point facing a whopping 50 counts of alleged misconduct — the first of which was filed less than a year into her four-year term.[NYPOST] The Georgia Supreme Court removed a county probate judge who was recently arrested for allegedly shoving a cop in a profanity-laden scuffle outside an Atlanta nightclub.

Douglas County Probate Judge Christina Peterson was removed from office and banned from holding any judicial post in the state for seven years after Georgia’s highest court issued its opinion of disbarment on Tuesday.

But it wasn’t her highly-publicized and caught-on-bodycam-footage arrest that led to her removal from the bar.

Peterson, 38, separately "exhibited a pattern of judicial misconduct while in office," the Judicial Qualifications Commission found in a probe into her behavior.

The embattled judge, who was elected and sworn into office in December 2020, was at one point facing a whopping 50 counts of alleged misconduct — the first of which was filed less than a year into her four-year term. Of those, 20 were dismissed, while a hearing panel investigated the other 30.

The panel found clear and convincing evidence to find Peterson guilty of 28 of the 30 counts and concluded that she should be removed from the bench, according to its March report.

The high court agreed and found that Peterson showed a "flagrant disregard for the law, court rules, and judicial conduct rules" — as well as a "pattern of violations" of judicial rules.

In one of the "extremely concerning" violations, Peterson held a woman who appealed to the judge to correct an error on her marriage certificate in criminal contempt. She then sentenced her to the maximum jail time of 20 days behind bars plus a fine "without explanation or justification," the panel found.

She was also accused of letting unauthorized people enter the county courthouse after hours without proper screening and using deputies to work overtime on her behalf with taxpayer money, the court said.

Peterson’s inappropriate behavior extended outside the courthouse as well. She was accused of engaging in "hostile exchanges" with neighbors at her homeowners association meeting, while suing the association.

Peterson is also banned from holding any judicial office in the state for seven years. City of Atlanta Police Department

Her repeated behavior "did not demonstrate the decorum and temperament required of a judge," the state supreme court said in its opinion.

The Georgia Supreme Court did not consider Peterson’s viral arrest Thursday in its determination as it was not part of the investigation. But the accusations against her only further damaged her reputation.

The judge allegedly pushed an off-duty Atlanta cop outside the Red Martini Restaurant and Lounge twice in the chest and was charged with simple battery against a police officer and obstruction of a law enforcement officer.

Peterson interfered with the officer as he was trying to de-escalate a situation involving a security guard escorting a woman out of the club, police said. She allegedly knocked the cop’s hands away from the woman and pushed him in the chest twice during the 3 a.m. altercation, according to the department.

"Let her f—cking go, let her f—cking go," Peterson yells at the guard and police officer, according to the footage released by Atlanta police and obtained by local outlets.

The judge was quickly handcuffed and placed in the back of a police cruiser, where she shouted expletives and refused to give her name to the officer.

The embattled judge, who was elected and sworn into office in December 2020, was at one point facing a whopping 50 counts of alleged misconduct — the first of which was filed less than a year into her four-year term.

#2  When I was an ink stained wretch, I worked with an older guy who said newspapers - and other news outlets - should be banned from using the terms "public money, federal dollars, etc." The only allowed construct should be "money the government took from people who earned it on threat of being sent to jail."

Likewise, the construct "former congressman (or other officeholder)" should be banned. The correct phrase should be "So and so, who was rejected by the voters (or cashed in on a lobbying gig, or both)"

#4  So, Frank, that's 10 News in San Diego, huh? Funny they should run a story like that. Some folks might question whether it's even newsworthy since Kinzinger is just a private citizen now and not even from San Diego. I'd say his only claim to fame is that he and Liz Cheney were the only Republicans on the J6 committee and, as a result, they both lost their seats in Congress. But the folks at 10 News never miss a chance to take a swipe at Trump no matter how unimportant the story really is.

'Squad' Rep. Summer Lee's stunning response to question about 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray's murder
[NYPOST] Far-left Rep. Summer Lee (D-Pa.) claimed on Wednesday that she’s never heard of Jocelyn Nungaray, the 12-year-old girl whose murder — allegedly at the hands of two illegal Venezuelan migrants — has ignited fresh calls for tougher border policies.

“I don’t know who she is. I live in Pittsburgh,” the Pennsylvania Democrat [said]
I don’t know who she is. I live in Pittsburgh,” the Pennsylvania Democrat told Fox Business reporter Hillary Vaughn, when asked about the Nungaray’s torture and killing in Houston last week.

“I live in Pittsburgh. I don’t know anything about it,” Lee reiterated, when pressed by the reporter, before ducking into her Capitol Hill office.

AOC survives Democratic primary challenge from former Wall Street banker Marty Dolan
[NYPOST] Rep. Alexandria Boom Boom Ocasio-Cortez
Dem Congressgirl from da Bronx in Noo Yawk and leader of the Mean Girl Caucus in Congress. One of the Great Minds of the 21st Century, she is known as much for her innaleck as for her dance moves. She is all in favor of socialism, even though she's fuzzy on the details. She was the inventor of the Green New Deal, though she doesn't talk about it much anymore
handily won her Democratic primary over a conservative-backed challenger Tuesday.

The far-left “Squad” member racked up enough votes to beat back a challenge from political newcomer Marty Dolan, according to the Associated Press, which called the race less than 20 minutes after polls closed at 9 p.m.

Kinzinger on Endorsing Biden: We've Got to Put Decency Above Politics
[Breitbart] Kinzinger is a Wisconsin ANG O-6, most famous for crying in The Peoples House, and is anyone surprised by this?

Trump will, I'm certain, have some fun with Mr. Kinzinger.



According to The Times, which usually avoids printing profanities, Trump then "poked his finger in his chest and told him to deliver to Mr. Kinzinger a vulgar message about what he should do with himself."

The Times reported that when Porter told Kinzinger of that conversation, Kinzinger "laughed and invited Mr. Trump to do the same."
