Judge Judy - what planet are you from?
© Copyright Frank D. Kanu 2000-2008
A friend told me that she just watched a Judge Judy show where Judy got all over a lady who uses pre-paid credit cards. Apparently Judy never heard of those and didn’t believe that lady.
Should someone as uneducated as Judy actually be in the position of a judge? Don’t get me wrong—there is always something new we can learn, but shouldn’t a judge be a bit more objective and especially willing to learn new things? Without passing a judgement?
Maybe so in some places, but if you remember the judge who allowed Tank Johnson to play (can you imagine a judge ruling in a criminal case wearing the shirt of his favorite team?)—then it isn’t that much of a surprise anymore, right?

Isn’t it time that some of our judges get a reality check and that measures to check the objectivity of judges and their rulings are put into place?
