DOMESTIC ABUSING JUDGE SUSPENDED IN TEXAS

the Stir
By Jeanne Sager

It's a holiday miracle! Texas Judge William Adams, the family
court adjudicator caught beating his disabled daughter on video,
has been suspended from his post by the state's supreme court.
Considering the last we'd heard on the case indicated the statute
of limitations for child abuse had run out, it hardly matters that
the court is mum on just why Adams is off the job.

Justice feels too good to question it. Adams has been caught up
in the type of scandal that would normally put a father in front
of the bench rather than manning it. The 2004 video, uploaded
by now 23-year-old Hillary Adams, was so disturbing that many
Internet surfers (me included) couldn't watch it in its entirety,
but news he wouldn't be charged left us all wondering:

Shouldn't judges be held to a higher authority than Joe Schmo?
Especially when they're caught, dead to rights, on video?
We're not talking about allegations here!
