The gun wielding Jefferson County (Birmingham, AL) Domestic Relations Judge Suzanne Childers announced today she is joining the Republican party. Apparently Faux Noise made her do it.
Childers said Tuesday that she started watching the conservative-oriented Fox News Channel and increasingly found herself agreeing with what its commentators said.

Childers continues
"It's been a gradual progression," Childers said. "I have become more and more aware that my values, principles and ideas are more parallel with the Republican Party."
In a statement, Childers said the switch was "in the people's" best interest.
"It's in the people's best interest if I remain a judge," she said when asked to explain her statement.
Seriously, we do not need Judges that do not know when to turn off the Faux News. Not only does this one not turn it off, she is influenced by the commentary. If you can call it that anyways. I think it is better described as right wing extremist propaganda. I'm sure some of our readers can be much more descriptive in their assessment.
How is this in the best interest of the people?
I believe that Judges should be non-Partisan although Alabama Judges are unfortunately still elected with a party tag. To admit you are under the influence of Faux News is to admit that you are influenced by absolute garbage. Turn the Faux Noise off now!!!! And a Judge to admit that a Cable "News" Network has that much control over them.
BTW - Childers is not up for election until 2012.
What do you think?
