Flashermac Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 HAGERSTOWN, Md. - A county judge was reprimanded for calling three black female lawyers "the Supremes" in court and advising the defendant to get "an experienced male attorney." Washington County Circuit Judge W. Kennedy Boone has acknowledged that his comments suggested racial and sexual bias. In his written response to a complaint, Boone said he was trying to protect the three public defenders from representing a difficult defendant. The Maryland Commission on Judicial Disabilities concluded the comments Boone made during a court hearing last April were "undignified and disparaging." The notice of reprimand was published Jan. 18 in the Maryland Register. A stipulation by Boone and the Commission said that in June the judge offered to recuse himself from other cases the three attorneys handled. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080131/ap_on_re_us/judge_reprimanded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Hippie Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Maybe it was their time of the month? Such lack of humor only goes to prove that a woman should NOT be president. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
