Don’t forget that Scooter Libby is a lawyer and a couple of judges vouched for his “character” for his sentencing. Such paragons of virtue…seems like judges take care of their own.
You are so right that it doesn’t make a difference if a customer service promise was broken. If this truly is actionable, then think about all those late night “male enchancement” products going off the market because their claims can’t be backed up, any more than a customer service promise….It’s advertisement, or so I was told; advertisement claims, such as “satisfaction guarantteed”, can’t be held to the same standards as other “speech”.
Yes you are naive and after reading all the posts I “never” noticed anyone stating that “ALL” or even “MOST” judges and lawyers are corrupt. I noticed many mention that some are corrupt but that is to be expected in every line/avenue of business. Watch out for qualifiers such as “all” as it makes you and your post sound ignorant.
Fair enough. All wasn’t mentioned. But what did the first few posts in this thread imply? Did they imply that we can’t use this story to extrapolate this judge’s actions to the rest of the judges in the country? Hmm..no I don’t think they did.
No matter your thoughts if you find the payments to Superior Court Judge Michael Joyce objectionable this is one of the very few times that you can do something about it. Judge Joyce is up for ten year retention in this November’s state-wide elections. This means that if there are more votes cast not to keep him than to keep him then he becomes history, just like Justice Nigro did two years ago when the public voted not to retain him. It follows that everyone who is upset about what he or she reads about Judge Joyce not only should vote against retention but should strongly encourage others to do likewise, as I am doing.
If you think this man is in any way involved in something unethical, you’re out of your mind! I agree with Dan Strong and add that you should most definitely retain him.
In Pennsylvania the only requirements to become a judge, county or appellate, are to be a citizen of Pennsylvania and member of the Pennsylvania Bar. Oh, yes. There is an informal third requirement, that being to have the intelligence to be able to calculate how many tickets you sold to the county or state political dinner.

The judges, the doctors, the attorneys – they all “take care of their own.” Sad state for those of us not in “the club.”

You need to educate yourself on the legal system in Pennsylvania and other states. You have no concept of what is involved in becoming a Judge.
