Judge helps robbery suspect escape:Holman W. Jenkins Jr. writes, in OpinionJournal's Political Diary (go here to subscribe), Last week, a controversial [New York] state Supreme Court judge helped a convicted drug dealer who was wanted on a robbery charge escape her courtroom from a side door while a detective waited outside the front door to arrest him. Justice Laura Blackburne had been told the detective had come merely to "question" the man and was irked to learn he would be arrested for an assault and robbery that had occurred a few days earlier. Police later had to track down and arrest the suspect on the streets. . . . The judge has been reassigned for the time being to hearing civil cases only, but that will likely be the end of it. Removing judges from the state bench is all but impossible. . . . Ms. Blackburne is a classic New York politico. As chief counsel of the local NAACP office, she once sued Rupert Murdoch on grounds that it wasn't fair to let a foreigner own a TV station when so few blacks owned TV stations. . . volokh.com
