Judge Servaas

Thanks to the Press for their Editorial today telling the Judicial Tenure Commission goons to lay off District Court Judge Steven Servaas.

I first blogged about this back in February and it has been a Gilbert & Sullivan farce ever since. Servaas just received 40,000 votes to keep his job and if Smolensky's allies think he should be fired for the most ridiculous and petty indiscretions they are out of their minds.

As with many scandals, it's not the original sin - it's how the party reacts that gets them.

He has been his own worse enemy. He has shown no remorse or discretion, and has expressed disrespect for the judicial system. Worst of all, he has tried to retaliate against the people who testified as to what they saw.

Judge Servaas' response has shown that he doesn't deserve the job.

Under normal circumstances, I could agree with you. But this was clearly a politically motivated attack based on the flimsiest of pretenses.

He made a bad joke at a party, drew a penis on a sticky note and mistakenly moved out of the district (since corrected). If this is all they have to fire him after a 30-year career, he has every right to be indignant.
