Family Court Judge in Las Vegas Had a Thing Goin' on with Prosecutor

While I was in Las Vegas this weekend recuperating from my dangerous assignment in Tonopah  infiltrating Nancy Pelosi's brother-in-law's solar tower operation scam, I came across this little piece in the local fishwrap. (Yes, Las Vegas actually has a newspaper.)

http://www.lvrj.com/news/family-judge-s-courting-stirs-rift-135565663.html

It seems there is a family court judge in Las Vegas named Steven Jones. (Yes, Las Vegas has courts and judges, too.) It also seems there is was a family court prosecutor named Lisa Willardson. Furthermore, it seems that Steve and Lisa have a thing goin' on.

"Me and Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones,  Mr Jones...."

"Objection sustained."

Anyway, it seems that a couple of other prosecutors named Michelle Edwards and Janne Hanrahan knew what was goin' on and blew the whistle saying there was a conflict of interest goin' on and that Lisa should not be arguing cases in Stevies's courtroom. Local DA David Roger agreed and fired Willardson.  

Judge Jones didn't like that one bit. Therefore, guess who he barred from appearing in his courtroom due to "inappropriate and unprofessional behavior".

Edwards and Hanrahan.

"Inappropriate and unprofessional behavior" 



In solidarity with Judge Stevie, another family court judge named Brigid Duffy also barred Edwards from her courtroom. DA Roger is publicly defending his two prosecutors and criticizing Jones. That's why this is all in the news.

At this point, Chief Judge Jennifer Togliatti has jumped into the fray and is trying to make sense out of all of this. Stay tuned as Judge Togliatti tries to figure out who is guilty of inappropriate and unprofessional behavior.

I sure hope President Obama doesn't get another pick for the Supreme Court.

"Mr President. We think Steven Jones is the man for the job."

The Supreme Court reference was a classic oxymoron, unless you meant to draw analogies to the vague allegations of sexual impropriety at Clarence Thomas's confirmation hearing -- that was a long time ago, and the alleged improprieties even longer ago.

Dr. Dobson has been known to pray for one of the justices he doesn't like to have a heart attack or a stroke - at least when GWB was still president. I'm tempted, but can't bring myself to indulge in the hope that something of the sort will happen to... well, it's hard to pick who. Scalia is one of the older ones, but there are days I really appreciate him. Alito should go, but he's not only one of the newest, but one of the youngest. Thomas is the most incompetent.

The judge who barred the prosecutors from his court room should be impeached, no two ways about it.

Hmmm... I guess Miggie and Findalis and Squid and Anonymous just DON'T CARE that a judge is sleeping with a prosecuting attorney, then persecuting the whistleblowers. Its not so POLITICALLY sexy as ranting about the hazards of Shariah being imposed on the U.S.
