I'm surprised it took someone from Tennessee to post this. I know for a FACT that there are TONS of TFL members who are in utah.
Utah has a disturbing dynamic about it. It's "government can do no wrong"-ville. I guaranteeeeeee, that she will be re-elected. Many years ago, the government kingdom in utah changed the laws to actually make it HARDER to get rid of bad judges. Everybody here in utah COMPLAINS about how government rules us like we're it's children, but people who try to DO something about it are ridiculed and ignored. The attitude here is "let God take care of everything." Thus, people who stand up to tyranny are seen and labeled as "strange" or "angry" people. The worthless local entertainment "media" only broadcast this story because of a harmless comment left on youtube that was twisted into being called a "threat" against her holiness. This arrogant female canine of a "judge" has a reputation for abusing people who come into "her" (actually the TAXPAYER'S) courtroom, and arrogance as long as all of our arms, yet she
will be REelected w/o a doubt.
The state sends us this JOKE of a "voter guide" every election. Concerning judges, it contains an extremely complicated set of survey results where the ONLY people who are given the survey are the lawyers. The lawyers of course, get buddy buddy with the judge on a daily basis because she is like an employer who can throw you in jail at will.
Utah judges believe they are kings/gods, because when the legislature passed a law mandating storage lockers for carry permit holders, all the judges banded together and gave us all a middle finger by just REFUSING TO FOLLOW THE LAW. Utah judges by the dozen bloviated about how their branch of government was being invaded by the legislature. Utah judges don't believe ANYONE has the right or ability to have oversight over them.
Judge Leslie has already been perfectly parodied by accident on the Simpsons:
