Judge Judy Scheindlin, a former family court judge and America's favorite small-claims TV justice has long been a source of wisdom and common sense. Thanks to her long career as an attorney in family court and then as a Manhattan judge, she is more than qualified to talk about the state of family courts in America. And boy, did she! With the growing outrage around the country about children being taken by out-of-control child and family services and kept separated by power-hungry judges in secret courts, Sheindlin's words from last year are more important than ever for the American public to hear. Sheindlin went on Norm Macdonald Has a Show and spilled the beans.
"I really felt that the family court was a place that should be open to the press," she told Macdonald. "At that time in New York and probably in a lot of other places it was sort of the dumping ground for morons and political hacks." She went on to shock the audience with the information that many of them don't even have legal backgrounds. "People who had gone around and collected signatures for politicians to get on the ballot, they said, 'you know we owe them a favor. Where are we going to put them? We can't put them in a civil court or the Supreme Court because the press goes in there to report. We have to put them in a place where nobody can see the morons we appoint to the court.'"
