How On Earth Do These People Become Judges?

[Revoltingest]

And so I must ask. Who among you is not an abomination in some way?

It seems that you're diluting "abomination" into something
insignificant. The issue in this thread is that a judge who
holds great power over vulnerable people in her court
would have such an attitude. This makes here more
dangerous than most criminals.

This goes to prove that women and blacks are not more immune from being consumed by hatred.

Did that ever require proving?

If one reads the news carefully, one notices
that race is stated directly in some cases, eg,
white perp & black victim, but danced around
in others, eg, black perp. The lack of mention
of race sometimes speaks volumes about race.
It's akin to apophasis.

I think some people (particularly at the media/political level) might be inclined to dance around the subject of race in terms of how they address it, except in times when someone clearly doesn't dance around it and makes some wildly outlandish statement like this judge. They're calling out the behavior more than anything else, while the race/gender of the judge is not at issue.

Would it be a bigger deal in the media if it was a white male judge saying things equally outlandish and hateful? I'm not sure.

Think of that question as you read
many news reports of such wrongs.
Perhaps an answer awaits.

Describing a black person as a “house n----r” would seal his fate.

In the OP the only thing that touched on it was "describing another Black judge" but she could have been talking in general imo.

She also said "those white gay ****", which laso hints as much. I've seen a lot of anti-white sentiment from some black people along similar lines

And woe unto any non-Christians
who come under her gavel.

“Abomination” is an interesting word.

An “abomination” is a thing that causes disgust or hatred. Homosexuals certainly fit that criteria, since a significant segment of the human population feels disgust or hatred towards them. So the honorable Judge was correct. Gay people are abominations.

However…

Here on this website, I notice it is Republicans and Christians who cause the most disgust and hatred. They are the abominations in the eyes of the leftist majority here. Topic after topic fueled by disgust and hate, in a place ironically called “Religious Forums”. It’s pathetic to watch but it is what it is.

Law Enforcement, who are respected and revered in many communities, are also abominations in the eyes of many leftists. The actions of a few lead to senseless hate and disgust towards the many.

Here in America, identifying with a political party strongly makes you an abomination to millions of people. Leftists are abominations in the eyes of many on the right. The Right are abominations in the eyes of many on the left.

And then there is me. Beacon of light, font of wisdom, unparalleled example of supreme badassery. Loved and hated both. Authoritarian, nationalistic… some might even say “fascist”. That would certainly qualify as an abomination in the eyes of many here. They don’t know the full story, obviously, but they don’t need to. Haters gonna hate. It doesn’t have to make sense. My worship of a Supreme God over all others makes me an abomination to many people. The way I exalt other gods including some genuinely Satanic forces makes me an abomination in the eyes of many as well. So I completely understand what it is like to arouse hatred in others- primarily over my Weltanschauung- but haters gonna hate and they will always find a reason.

And so I must ask. Who among you is not an abomination in some way?

I don't care if people find me an abomination.
I do care if the judge in my trial finds me an abomination.

There was a particular deeper vitriol I sensed behind her comments. But yes you're not wrong.

I am not understanding anything.
Did this judge make these remarks in a hallway ...or in the courtroom?

Qualifications of a judge in India: You must be a citizen of India. You must have qualified for an LLB or LLM degree. You must be held at a Judicial office in India for 10 years or you must be an advocate of a High Court for 10 years.

Qualifications for a judge in USA: The constitution does not provide any eligibility criteria — such as age, literacy, citizenship, legal education, legal/bar or any professional certification, and legal/judicial experience — for one to be appointed as a federal judge.

We do not have a jury system. A 'Collegium' of Indian Supreme Court recommends name for appointment as a judge. This is then approved or rejected by the Central government. But Central Government, by itself, cannot appoint judges.
The judges of subordinate courts are appointed by the governor in consultation with the chief justice of the high court of the concerned state. A minimum of seven years of practise as a lawyer at bar is a necessary qualification for direct entry level to become a district judge upon a written examination and oral interview by a committee of high court judges, the appointment of district judges is notified by the state government.
