By all means, continue to give these people more power over you.

Dupe, and shocking that judges would decide to give judges that power. Where is the check on them for this?

Depends on the state government. Should be the governor in most I think?

Thats the equivalent of taking away everything  man has. At that point, you should expect him to act like a man with nothing to lose.

Way too much faith has been placed with judicial review. One of the weakest points in our checks and balances system.

You can sue judges.  You just have to make the right allegations.

They're also not immune from criminal actions. And, at least in my state, they can get thrown off the bench by a review panel at any time, and by the state legislature every X years when they come up for re-election.

The people are the check on this. When enough people get tired of their shit they'll either stop or eventually run out of judges.

Judge Thornsbury, in my state, is now in federal prison I believe and is being sued by a bunch of people.

Guess what, prosecutors also generally have "absolute immunity".   Absolute immunity is the best immunity.  But there are exceptions.

The trial court found that the entries of judgment were improper and that Lynn ’s conduct in the proceedings had been vexatious
View Quote


So she's a pain in the ass litigant, trying to get even with her Ex-husband, and because the court recognized that, they ordered her to pay the Ex-husband's attorney fees.

When she refused, she was found in contempt.


I take it (from the other thread...this is a Dupe of an earlier thread) that the Judge didn't want her locked up so he came up with a way to have her electronically monitored outside of jail...but as she wasn't eligible under civil contempt, he had to find a criminal charge that would work...?

From the appellate link above...then she was never charged criminally, but for monitoring of the electronic bracelet, she was placed on the criminal docket?  


So (maybe the legally fluent will correct me):

She's a pain in the ass.
The ex-husband convinced the judge of that fact.
Judge ordered her to pay the ex-husbands attorney due to the frivolous nature of her complaints.
She didn't pay.
Got contempt of court charges and a bench warrant.
Got jail time.
Released with an electronic ankle bracelet.
For monitoring, was placed on a Criminal Docket (not Civil).
Pointed that out to the judge and it was expunged from her record.
Because the Judge then conspired with her ex-husband and a bunch of officials, she sued for damages.
Tried to litigate Pro-Se.

Sounds like her own fault for creating Joinder if you ask me...

Yeah but the government investigated itself and discovered nothing was wrong.

Her case was dismissed on procedural grounds, not on the merits.

Same litigant, same set of facts but the news article in the OP was about the appeal on the opinion you listed.
