4sually it's seual harass!ent. 5e,ual harassment seems to be the $udicial

e9ui#alent of the co!!on cold. 7ut there are other the!es: ullying &eo&le,ina&&ro&riate gifts, ill-ad#ised charitale acti#ities.

6ne of my favorites was 7Judicial 8oad 8age.7 "his was a collection of guys "ho

didn't $ust yell at another !otorist or fli& the! off, ut had the! arrested. hese&eo&le actually sent their ailiffs out, or called the sheriff, and had !otorists

My hat's off to former-Judge Florentino Floro andhis ... uh ... staff.

his eats the hell out of anything the Judicial Conduct 8e&orter's co!e u& "ith

lately. And I )ust love it. I love it because it a**eared when I was right u* against

my deadline. lo#e it ecause it !a+es !e feel su&erior. lo#e it ecause '#ene#er &re#iously gotten to ty&e the &hrase Ai!aginary !ystic d"arfs .$And lo#e

it ecause the guy is %%()N*!

As near as I can determine he's !a+ing this out to e a freedo! of religion issue.

He says hey should not ha#e dis!issed !e for "hat elie#ed.#

Certainly, can sy!&athize "ith that &osition. he &ros&ect of $udgeseing re!o#ed ecause of their &ersonal elief syste!s is anathe!a toall of us.

But I thin once it's established that you told investigators that three mystic

dwarfs ; Armand


5/32

I have no doubt that if I had told A?= of the lawyers who a**eared before me E@E>

that me and the mystic healing dwarfs were gonna cure a little deafness and then go out

for a run over the lunch hour and that when we returned we'd have the name of ne,t

year's +reaness winner avies would have doced me some *oints.

/ertainly the %hili&&ine Bu&re!e Court thin+s it lo"ers your score. lthoughthey "ere #ery di&lo!atic aout it. According to8euters 7he Bu&re!e Court

said it "as not "ithin its e&ertise to conclude that Floro "as insane ,,,. I'm

not sure )ust what distinction they were drawing here. "hey may have been saying

e're not *sychiatrists so we can't say he's gone star staring loony tunes on us

but we certainly agree with the doctors who said it.# r they !ay ha#e concluded

that, in today's "orld, one &sychosis hardly differentiates you fro! the rest ofsocietyD it ta+es at least t"o or three to 9ualify for a diagnosis of insanity.

Either way they confiscated his roe and his ruy sli&&ers and fined hi! /012.$And !iraile dictu, Judge Floro is a&&ealing. I don't have a clue who to. 6ho doyou a&&eal to after the %hili&&ine Bu&re!e Court disroes youE Bee!s to !e,

you and the d"arfs ha#e &retty !uch to&&ed out "hen you lose in your nation's

su&re!e court.

can't really see he =ague ta+ing this one on.

7ut Judge Floro has #o"ed an a&&eal, and, since he can see into the future, ha#e to assu!e it's gonna co!e to &ass.

nd '! not aout to ta+e a chance that !ight !iss the outco!e of this saga.

"he ad!issiility ,,, rests on < groundsM necessity because of theunavailability of the e,*ert witness to testify on the matter or if available

because of the tremendous e,*ense in hiring them: and trust"orthinessbecause the learned witness in writing his wor or article has no motive to

misre*resent. Another reason is that the writer of a learned treatise is morecareful of what he writes because he nows that every statement he maes

will be sub)ect to criticism and o*en to refutation 9 the historical "or+sarecom*etent because of the difficulty or im*ossibility of establishing the facts

by other testimony.C

)GNC on the 7ench is not as common as *rime ministers and homesecretaries stung by )udgments critical of their *olicies lie to suggest. "he recent

decision of the 5u*reme /ourt of the +hili**ines to dismiss Judge Florentino V.

Floro Jr as a )udge of the >egional "rial /ourt in Kalabon /ity because of amedically disabling condition of the mind$ that rendered him unfit to discharge

%GG but the evaluation was again negative identifying *roblems with self-esteem

assessment from *rivate *ractitioners. He began wor as a )udge in ?ovember

insecurity$.

hat caused the 5u*reme /ourt most concern and who can blame them was

(udge loro#s belief that he en)oyed 2ualities laced by other members of the

)udiciary. (udge loro is not the first )udge to have an inflated o*inion of his own

abilities but there are not many who have claimed s*ecial *owers as the No 5&sychic in the country$. D"he 5u*reme /ourt )udgment unfortunately *rovides noinformation on whether the to* four also have legal 2ualifications and if so what mars

they obtained in the Bar e,ams.8

Judge&s ,ystic Dwarf Friends 'dentified0 previously reportedon Judge Florentino Floro, ajudge in the Philippines who wasremoved from the bench recently for acts as innocuous as fortune#telling faithhealing in chambers and beginning each court session with a cheery reading fromthe Boo% of -evelations. 1e also said he had made a covenant with dwarf friends,but little was known about these friends until this week. Floro was bac% in the newsbecause he is appealing the ruling by the country&s !upreme ourt removing himfrom office. The grounds are discrimination against people who tell fortunes healpeople read from -evelations and ma%e covenants with mystic dwarfs. 23lso, he"critici.ed court procedure" probably the last straw.4 They should not havedismissed me for what I believed, Floro told reporters after filing his appeal.According to the court it did not dismiss him for what he believed it dismissedhim for believing something that was nutty. 3 court!appointed e'pert found thatFloro was suffering from psychosis and the court agreed, partly because of the aboveand also because of new revelations about the role of the mystic dwarfs. 5f whichthere were three, named "Armand" ")uis" and "Angel/" Their end of the covenantwas apparently to help Floro conduct his healing sessions because as you %nowfaith healing is way more difficult without a mystic dwarf or two around .http)**www.loweringthebar.net*+-*6*judges/mystic/d.html

not effect his courtroo! decisions.7ut here in the GB, ti!e and ti!e

again "e see $udges not only allo"ing their religious eliefs to effecttheir decisions, ut actually eing chosen ecause it is e&ected of

dictate our actions. highly dout Judge Floro is an ece&tion.Judge Floro, li+e our o"n GB &resident, clai!s that *od &ut hi! into office.

5uch egotism - as we americans have seen - is a very dangerous thing for a *erson

in *ower to have. +eo*le who believe their *ower is bestowed by 3od are far more

liely to misuse that *ower thining themselves invulnerable to scrutiny and to the

checs and balances that should be a *art of every system of *ower. And I have toas if 3od really did want (udge loro in office then why did 3od not do more to

*revent the )udge#s removal from officeU$

also ha#e to 9uestion the nature of any s&irit guideL "ho "ould inflict an

his is not "isdo!. his is not guidance. his is $ust nasty. But if as (udge loroclaims the guides were sent by the cruel creatorNdemiurge =ahweh-Eloah-

6f course all of the above is )ust my *ersonal o*inion.Just ecause the $udge4s
