I don't understand why her political affiliation has anything to do with it?

I also don't see that she's 'flaunting' the system... She's not breaking rules and getting away with it.

It does seem obvious from that story that she doesn't particularly care about her career but that's her business. She'll be fired from her $170k a year job and the world will move on.

I was unaware we had political party affiliated cities.

Never been to Chicago, Detroit, or Cleveland?

They have been run by Democrats for nearly 40 years. (for the most part)

Just shows how stupid Americans are when it comes to voting people into office

We have a non-partisan thread for this sort of thing.

"Another scumbag politician".

Scumbags of all persuasions are welcome there.

Fired then back to her original job, chasing ambulances.

Well, she's a JUDGE, not a politician.

It is an elected position which makes her much more a politician than a judge in my book, but then I have a problem with electing judges.

Fair point, and I agree. Judges should be appointed at all levels based on their merits/resume/etc.
