Some feel judge has bias against men
Article here. Excerpt:
'The battle between men and women is old — but in one Livingston County courtroom, men say the judge doesn't give them a fighting chance.
Even the children caught in their parents' crossfire question why Probate Judge Carol Hackett Garagiola appears to rule against fathers even where experts have found the father to be the better parent under court-established guidelines.
...
The case would come as no surprise to Bob Simpson, 48, who got divorced in June 2008. At the time, he said his lawyer advised him to keep his mouth shut because the "judge hates men."
Simpson, who said there were no claims of domestic violence or wrongdoing from either side in the divorce, said he did not believe his attorney until Garagiola routinely ruled against him even when his ex-wife violated their divorce agreement by relocating out of the county, which was prohibited.
"I feel screwed," he said. "I'm afraid to go before (Garagiola) because I'm a man. I feel like a Negro ... in 1964 Mississippi. ... I feel like there is prejudice going on here."'

Why aren't those lawyers demanding the judge recuse herself?
Seriously. If you have a biased judge, demand that they recuse themselves. If they demand evidence, produce evidence. It shouldn't be too hard.
And above all -- THROW BIASED JUDGES OFF OF THE BENCH AND DISBAR THEM!
I read some story a year or
I read some story a year or two ago, perhaps on this board, about a woman judge who was so biased against men that they made her retire.
Can you imagine what would happen if it was any other group besides women, ruling this way against any other group besides men? There would be hell to pay...censure and disbarment as a minimun.

Is that the smell...
... of a Silver Pomegranate in the air? Yes, i believe it is! Hell, we should thank her for making obvious what so many other judges hide.
