The judge who left in a rush
Kevin Roderick
Today's Daily Journal front page carries the story of Ted A. White, an attorney who quit abruptly as a $115,000-a-year immigration judge in Los Angeles before completing his first year. Not very many of these judges leave.
White's departure was made stranger because sheriff's deputies and an assistant chief immigration judge were on hand when White packed up his books, photos, some handguns and ammunition he kept stored in his chambers, and was escorted out of the Lancaster detention facility, just north of Los Angeles, according to sources.
U.S. Department of Justice officials said White resigned May 29, just a few days shy of completing the one year probationary period required of all new judges. White's brief stint on the immigration bench is among the shortest in recent times....
His departure comes a year after U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales ordered an inquiry into the immigration courts, promising to weed out rude or intemperate judges.

"When Judge White was on the bench he would say things that weren't really about the law," said one lawyer who appeared multiple times before White. "I had a client who had one drunk driving conviction, and the judge denied him bond and said he was a threat to society. Then White opened a booklet and began reading DUI fatality statistics to him."
On another occasion, the lawyer said he watched as White chided an immigrant who presented his pay stubs during a court hearing.
"He told the man, 'It's people like you who are driving down the wages in construction,'" the lawyer said.
The piece is by Daily Journal staffer Sandra Hernandez.

It seems that telling the truth is 'being rude'.
Judges make all kinds of ridiculous statements - this judge's statement seem to be right on the mark - and appropriate.Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

The individual that was denied bond was more than likely an illegal immigrant, and I see nothing wrong with reading DUI fatality statistics to someone convicted of a DUI. Furthermore, the judge had it right when he jumped on the illegal by saying, "It's people like you who are driving down the wages in construction." Since when is the truth a reason for losing your job?"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing" ** Edmund Burke**

I'd lilke to know why the judge really left. Sounds like he may have been trying to uphold the law in a lawless community. Thugs can't rule if a judge is upholding the law!
