Reply to comment by Hib3rnian in Ethics board says Philly judge ruled on cases early to leave for trip by uptown_gargoyle

No. She can be removed from the bench. And she should be and probably will be.

As reported.

> Brumbach was relegated to administrative duties on Jan. 10, and hasn’t returned to the bench since.

> The Judicial Conduct Board has asked that she be suspended without pay as the proceedings against her move forward.

Yea. File under F for FIRED!

that's not a punishment, that's just preventing her from doing any more harm. I'm sick of the worst thing happening to officials is 'ok you got impeached, removed whatever'. No there needs to be punishment.

How about we add up all the maximum offenses for all those found guilty and sentence her with that?

They’re traffic tickets. It would just be a fine.

And surely there's a punishment involving jail time for falsifying court records?

These are traffic ticket cases. Easy.

Shes basically been fired and isn't being paid. There is a process of investigation and then a determination that must be completed. That takes a little time.

For now. Is it a matter of her just moving to a different city to be eligible for another job as a lawyer, etc? That's why I said disbarred.

If she can't be trusted to support the law accordingly, she shouldn't be able to practice it anywhere.

Just like a cop that's been found guilty of extortion or a teacher caught molesting kids, etc.

All these mfr's get caught, get fired and then land in the same type of job in some state where they "need" these types of skilled people just to pull the same crap. It's bullshit.

What she tried to do doesn't rise to the level of disbarment in fact this women isn't even a lawyer.

You don't need a law degree to be a traffic court judge, shit you don't need a pesky law degree at all to be a judge in Pennsylvania.

She will lose her job. Thats a fact.

I'm shocked that someone who is actively having the legislature try to remove him, try to refute that. it's besides the point anyway. Being stripped of your position and title is not a punishment.
