Although a Yahoo link, this is a Reuters story, and I suspect it "fits right in" with America's new world image. Judge quits over "smacked" women remark A judge in upstate New York has resigned after being accused of saying domestic abuse cases were "a waste of the court's time" and stating most women asked to get "smacked around," the state's Commission on Judicial Conduct says. Robert Hamley, a former justice of the Hunter Village Court in northern New York's Greene County resigned after deciding he could not successfully defend himself against charges brought against him by the commission. One charge said Hamley told a plaintiff in a domestic abuse case that all domestic violence cases were a "waste of the court's time" and that he also told a law enforcement officer that most women enjoyed being abused and asked to get "smacked around," the commission said in a statement on Tuesday. The second charge against Hamley stated he took jurisdiction of traffic charges pending before another court and improperly disposed of the cases. The commission, the New York agency responsible for judicial ethics, said Hamley resigned and agreed never to take another judicial office. story.news.yahoo.com lurqer
