First, it was the indomitable Kim Davis that railed the whole country by defying the U.S. Supreme Court order and going to jail for refusing to give marriage licenses to same-sex couple on her own personal religious grounds.
Then, it was the "voluntary" suspension and continued disciplinary proceedings of the African American Judge Olu Stevens for faithfully discharging his judicial duties, exercising his rights as a citizen outside of court proceedings after proceedings were over, criticizing racism in the Kentucky prosecutor's office, and fighting racism in Kentucky court system.
Now, it is the slap on the wrist for the white judge Sheila Collins who did something really wrong - wrongfully incarcerated for contempt a witness in a domestic violence case who recanted her testimony out of fear.
Sends a message as to what the Kentucky establishment is all about, right?
Bigoted as to gender and sex orientation and bigoted on racist, even as to their own judges.
And, I do not see in the press notifications of the public railing very much in support of African American Judge Stevens and in indignation against the "be a good girl now" make-believe discipline against white Judge Collins.
The year 2016.
Oh, well.
