Superior Court Judge Derek Johnson has been “publicly admonished”. Why? Because the California Commission on Judicial Performance is apparently just too weak and useless to fire him.

You may now be wondering why I bear such animosity toward a person I’ve never met. Allow me to explain. During the sentencing hearing of a convicted rapist, the Dishonorable Judge Johnson made the following declaration: “I’m not a gynecologist, but I can tell you something: If someone doesn’t want to have sexual intercourse, the body shuts down. The body will not permit that to happen unless a lot of damage is inflicted, and we heard nothing about that in this case,”

Not only is this cretin not a gynecologic, he’s not a doctor. Nor does he possess any medical training. In short, he’s talking out his ass. More to the point, he was talking out his mass while explaining why said convicted rapist should only serve six years instead of the sixteen the prosecutor was seeking. According to Johnson, that’s what the case was “worth”. This despite the defendant having threatened to mutilate the victims face and vaginal with a heated screwdriver and beaten her with a metal Baton before raping her.

Don’t get me wrong here. Judge Derek is absolutely entitled to his opinion no matter how vile and wrong-headed it may be. He is not entitled to express it or use it as the basis of his ruling in a court of law. The judges are supposed to be impartial their rulings based on evidence and precedence. They aren’t supposed to go spewing whatever uninformed idiocy pops into their heads. Far more importantly, they shouldn’t base their sentencing judgements on it.

Let me clear about one more thing. I don’t want him removed from the bench purely as punishment for being an idiot. There is a far more pertinent and important reason. No matter what he does or says from this point forward, no victim of sexual assault will ever feel an reasonable expectation of justice in his courtroom again.

That’s why pubic Admonishment should be public firing.
