A suburban Detroit judge is no longer handling cases after a court official turned over recordings of her making anti-gay insults and referring to Black people as lazy.
Oakland County Probate Judge Kathleen Ryan was removed from her docket on Aug. 27 for unspecified misconduct. Now the court’s administrator has stepped forward to say he blew the whistle on her, secretly recording their phone calls.
“I just want to make it right. … I want to keep my job and do it in peace,” Edward Hutton told WXYZ-TV. “And I want the people in Oakland County that come to court to get a fair shake, to have their day in court, to have an unbiased trier of fact.”

Respect to Hutton for stepping forward and pushing back against bigotry.
Lower courts held to a higher standard than the Supreme Court. How fun for us.
I want to keep my job and do it in peace
Good luck. Doing the right thing often does not have that result.
Not in this country, under our Corporate overlords.
Now let’s wipe all her gay and black convictions.
Because of course she’s in Probate
I’d like to see everyone have reasonable consequences applied to their actions, thank you.
lol she would be a Kathy, feel like that’s up there with Karen
“Oakland County Probate Judge Kathleen Ryan”
I can’t wait to see a recording of a male judge uttering the same thing and getting the same outcome … right?

I find vk6flab to be delightful.
Checking your post history, you’re not, so I guess I don’t want to talk to you. Bye!
P.S. “I’m rude to people because I’m calling them out,” is self-centred boor 101. Lame.
