Cynthia Brim, Cook County Circuit Court Judge Previously Deemed 'Legally Insane,' Reelected

A Cook County Circuit Court judge was handily reelected Tuesday a matter of hours before she was due to appear in court for allegedly assaulting a deputy sheriff this spring, an attack her attorney previously blamed on the fact that the judge was "legally insane" at the time.

Judge Cynthia Brim appeared in court Wednesday and told the Chicago Tribune she was "just happy the people voted me back in" after her status hearing.

Brim, 54, received slightly more than 60 percent of yes votes required for retention in the Tuesday election, according to the Chicago Sun-Times -- despite allegedly pushing a deputy sheriff and throwing keys near a Daley Center security checkpoint in March.

One day prior to that attack, she allegedly "launched into a tirade" that lasted 45 minutes during a traffic court call and was forced to leave the courtroom.

Brim has pleaded not guilty to the charge and has been suspended since her arrest this spring. She has refused to resign.

Crazy ass judges reelected by even crazier voters.

And he never even campaigned for anything.

If "queer" is to be considered "normal", why not consider crazy as hell as being normal too?
