Nasty horrible disrespectful [redacted] insensitive she needs to never be on a bench not even a park bench. She cuts people off. Doesn’t care about you if you don’t have money and aren’t connected.

This is an irresponsible criminal attorney that has ZERO business ordering children to be sent away to the The Troubled Teen Industry is not fit to be making decisions for families. She is clearly ignoring warnings of the vast rampant abuse within this multi-billion industry and has already made dangerous irresponsible decisions. I suggest she be immediately removed for [redacted] decisions that have already teamed havoc on children and their families.

~She should not be allowed to sit on the bench in a family court. She doesn't make eye contact, doesn't consider that she is making decisions about CHILDREN and families that will impact them for the rest of their lives. The court system needs to train this judge before putting the lives of people in her hands. She so casually made a decision without looking at the long-term impacts of her ruling that stripped a child of his human rights. She said one thing in her ruling then completely changed it in her written order. It's clear she comes from the criminal courts as a prosecutor and has no business in a family setting. I feel terrible for those who have had their lives harmed by this awful judge and worse human being.

Should be impeached for the most serious judicial misconduct, including allowing all attorneys in case to commit fraud on the court; despite knowing that fraud had already tainted proceedings, scheduled continuation of trial anyway (despite my saying that dispositive motions, including recusal request, should be resolved first); refused to discuss motions for dismissal with prejudice, sanctions, hazel-atlas motion for appropriate relief (despite request for hearing); falsely claimed she could be “objective” when she was clearly retaliating (denying motions re: judicial recusal/reassignment 1-2 days after filing) and denying due process; threatened to rule default judgment against me without hearing my case if I didn’t start presenting case even though she/the court never refuted that it had been defrauded and refused to hear motions on this. MCCC coverup for Schweitzer (whom i cannot call a “judge”) having allowed attorneys to commit one of the most serious offenses possible in a court of law.

Agree with the comments below. But the blame should be directed at the Judicial Nominating Commission. Why do you continue to recommend people who have served in the government for years without having been a private attorney. Private practice allows you to connect with real people with real problems who will hold you accountable if you’re negligent or lack empathy. This Commission is about to do it again. Two career prosecutors who are up for the spot. Both will be an unmitigated disaster for the same reasons highlighted below.
