Mike Pence Appoints Totally Random Non-Law-Practicing Lady As Indiana Judge, Because Go F*ck Yourself Is Why
Tom McDermott, Jr., the mayor of Hammond, Indiana, is rather upset and confused after finding out — through social media — that Vice President-elect Mike Pence (who is still governor of Indiana, even though we forgot about that) went ahead and appointed a judge in his town without consulting with him first. And not only that, but a judge who has never even practiced law before.
Amy Jorgensen, 46, does have a law degree from Valparaiso University School of Law, but has previously stated that she has never actually used it. Rather, she has run a bunch of Sylvan Learning Center franchises. For real, like, that was not a weird joke or anything. OH, and by sheer coincidence, we are sure, she also happens to be the chair of the St. John Republican Party.
- Yes I believe in most every city there are jobs like that where you don't need experience. Even being a mayor.robotron3k
- Even being president, apparently.********
- robo, a mayor and a judge are completely different positions, one with actual experience being necessarymonospaced
- Big difference. A politician has a team of experts, a judge is expected to know law, know precedents, etc. I'll be the Court of Appeals is going to be swampedformed
- "I know Amy, and I think she will make an excellent judge," Pence said, admitting he "wasn't sure" if she's ever held a law-related position.********
