Yes, I agree she is morbidly obese. She certainly does need medical intervention. However, none of us know WHY she is so obese. Too often, people simply assume that someone who is overweight, especially to the extreme that Halvorsen is, is just lazy, stupid, self-indulgent, irresponsible, and out of control. Perhaps she has a thyroid condition or another medical issue that exacerbates the weight problem. Speaking as a family member of two obese persons, both of whom certainly do not try to be obese or revel in it, I just wanted to make that point.

That being said, the fact that she is overweight, no matter what the reason, is not the issue here. The issue is that she is a vindictive, rude, callous, crass, angry and horrible person, who has abused her authority in too many ways to count, and certainly deserves to be removed from the bench permanently if she is found guilty....and it appears that there's a good chance she will be.

I, too, wonder why on earth, if she was already found to be unfit for the position last July, she was suspended WITH pay. Outrageous.
