Ga. SC removes magistrate judge
BY JESSICA M. KARMASEK
ATLANTA (Legal Newsline) - The Georgia Supreme Court on Monday ordered the removal of a magistrate judge who allegedly smoked marijuana, made derogatory remarks about a fellow judge and threatened to shoot himself, among other things.

An investigation by the Judicial Qualifications Commission into Catoosa County Magistrate Judge Anthony Peters began after Chief Magistrate Judge Sonny Caldwell received numerous complaints about Peters' alleged misconduct.

Following the JQC's investigation -- and after Peters appeared before the JQC in October to discuss the allegations -- the commission filed formal charges with the state's high court to have Peters permanently removed and barred from ever seeking an elected or appointed judicial office in the state.

Of course not.

I think they teach that in Journalism 101.

YEARS ago I heard from some radio personality that the journalism "students" don't care about journalism, except for using it to "change the world".

It's even worse now.

So, re-writing history, publishing shameless propaganda and regularly flushing the memory hole is how the most rabid of moonbats "change the world" these days, is it? :rotf:
