Judge's Resignation For "Short Sentence"

I had mentioned the sentence of a sex offender to probation because he was short a few days back.
It now seems that a petition has been started calling for the resignation of the judge, Cheyenne County District Judge Kristine Cecava.
The petition drive is being conducted by Tiffany Jones, a resident of the county seat of Sidney, who said she already had about 200 signatures.
[...]

Attorney General Jon Bruning plans to appeal the sentence, arguing that it is too lenient.

According to a transcript of the sentencing hearing, Cecava told Thompson:

"So I'm sitting here thinking this guy has earned his way to prison but then I look at you and I look at your physical size. I look at your basic ability to cope with people and, quite frankly, I shake to think what might happen to you in prison because I don't think you'll do well in prison."

I still can't get past the "don't think you'll do well in prison" part. Mainly because I doubt most of the people in prison "do well" in there. It's not suppose to be a vacation at the Holiday Inn. It's suppose to be punishment. It's suppose to be uncomfortable, and they aren't suppose to enjoy it. But, that is besides the point.
Personally, I am getting tired of the Judge Cashmans of the bench. I'm tired of hearing about how some liberal judge feels it is their place to ignore the law, and do as they personally- not legally- see fit. I'm just tired of it.

He loves me, he loves me not, oh what the heck he loves me...

It seems to resemble a bit of a 3rd grade crush. Mag said first grade ... but it's really less annoying that having my ponytail pulled. He loves me... after all, he keeps linking to me . He loves me not... evidently that's why he uses my comments out of context and twists my words... he loves me, because clearly he likes to "poke the bear" (That 70's Show quote). Yes, I just referred to myself as a bear. A lot less hairy, but no less scary. Because anyone that thinks you should be locked up for the rest of your life is indeed scary. Especially when she likes to go around telling everyone how demented you are... and how she'd like to see you locked up forever. And even more scary when you know that it's the truth she speaks. And Lindsay, he is demented. And he should be locked up forever. And, well it seems that he is a fan of mine. Yep, that sick lil monkey can't help himself. He reads this here blog (which is a hint that you should share your thoughts...

Mom Arrested After Baby Found Mauled By Dogs

This is a story that I really don't want to share, it angers me all the while breaking my heart at how someone could be so cold and callous. My only comment is that there is always a better way. Some may of thought of going to the hospital, others may have thought about calling someone- anyone for help. But the complete disregard this person showed is horrifing. PORTSMOUTH, Ohio -- Investigators said the badly-mauled body of a newborn infant was found Tuesday afternoon on the banks of the Ohio River. The next day, the baby's 21-year-old mother was arrested after admitting to a hidden pregnancy. The mother told investigators that the baby was still-born at home. She said she panicked and disposed of the baby boy a few miles from her home, NBC 4's Erin Tate reported. The investigation began after authorities received a 911 call from a frantic mother. Dispatcher: "911, what's your emergency?" Caller: "My kids were just outside, telling me that the dog was ch...
