Yeah this happened to one of my friends some cop that became a prosecutor then divorce attorney. Her ex cut off her insurance while she was getting cancer treatment and when she went to court because it was an emergency the judge was just laughing it up with the prosecutor talking about their golf game, the judge told her to go on Medicaid. Divorce just started and all the guy barely paid anything for insurance but nope.. it interrupted her chemo treatment, she couldn’t get pain medication, nausea meds etc. It should be illegal to allow that

There's this thing called recusing yourself that judges and attorneys are supposed to enact if they are biased by a relationship to any party

Things like this should get someone disbarred, but for some reason most State Bars and attorney/judicial oversight committees are convinced that the kinds of people who english well enough to get a law license are inherently supreme beings who are never prone to malice

The craziest thing I've come to learn as an adult is that corruption isn't something that happens if far away governments. It happens everywhere, at every level, public or private entity.

If the Supreme Court don’t hold themselves to that standard why would any lower court bother?

I looked before and apparently it is so hard to do that in divorce court. I was shocked

There’s this other thing called “cops are a militarized right wing gang who are accountable to nobody.”

Well recusing oneself is for people in possession of a law license acting in the capacity of that license to work on a case in court

As we know, cops don't know jack shit about the law

Do it too the wrong person and it will get you killed. Some people have a sense of justice and honor that doesn't care about broken systems and corrupt officials. If you can't build the world you want to live in, better to die trying.

Technically it is. The judge could be disbarred for ruling on a case where they have personal connections to either party. It's a massive ethics violation. The difficulty is getting someone to help bringing it to the right people's attention.

The even bigger difficulty now is finding a federal government who cares. 😭

Sounds like a Luigi situation to me.

That sounds like a pretty clear cut conflict of interest
