A judge (let's call him Judge # 1) refuses to grant an adjournment of appearance to a young mother and then publicly humiliates her in court for breastfeeding her sick and hungry baby, after making her wait, calling her case only when he sees she is breastfeeding (he was alerted to that fact by a court employee by a note), and then, when the mother asks for a minute to arrange her clothing, puts her on the spot and tells her publicly that he considers her brestfeeding in "his" court in appropriate.
The judge's boss refuses to discipline the judge because he believes, the judge did nothing wrong.
Another judge, Judge # 2, refuses to grant an adjournment to a young mother, an attorney, after she gave birth to a child, causes her appearance in the courtroom and publicly humiliates her for neglecting her child BECAUSE she appeared with her child because she could not arrange for daycare!
Judge # 3, after being sued by a party in litigation, has the party's female attorney arrested during recess of a trial, has her handcuffed to a wheelchair, has court attendants take away from her her pen, case files, GLASSES, and orders her to conduct a trial this way, out of a wheelchair and handcuffed, without glasses or any trial material, and without presence of her client - at the threat of a default to her client.
Judge Knutson was sued for that, and a petition for the writ of certiorari is pending in the U.S. Supreme Court.
A video of some of what happened to the female attorney in Judge Knutson court is available on the Internet.
Judge # 4, Judge Kevin M. Dowd of Chenango County Supreme Court, punishes a female attorney (me) for failure to appear at a trial during my documented medical leave because of a back injury.
It appears that courts have an open hunt on women litigants and women-attorneys, especially those who sue judges or are independent.
The system calls them "judges" and refuses to discipline them because they "did nothing wrong".
I call them male chauvinist pigs that should not be allowed to be judges, or attorneys.
