#1 A Mexican national can sit as a judge of American Citizens and their rulings stand...

#2 City attorneys had "determined that past rulings of this judge are not invalidated by this status," she added.

Really? Sounds like ass-covering to me. Had I had a matter before her, I'd be appealing any punishment and asking for expungement as she was not qualified and they didn't properly handle my case in time

#4 City attorneys had "determined that past rulings of this judge are not invalidated by this status," she added.

City attorney looked at the budget and prays no one notices enough to file. There was nothing legitimate about the judge's authority to execute her actions.

#6 This South Korean citizen was the second one they found, if I'm reading the article correctly. From the article:

Generally, the city includes on applications for appointees a question about whether the appointee is a qualified voter, Garza said.

However, that question was not included on the applications of some of the recent municipal court judge appointments. The discrepancy was noticed by city staff during the process of appointing a different judge, said Garza, who serves on the municipal court committee.

The staff went back to verify that current municipal court judges were qualified voters and found Burkett was not, he said.

The application has been changed to address the issue, Garza said.

#7 It may be that they found the discrepancy while appointing a judge who was still qualified.

Hard to tell from the wording.

One is bad enough.

#8 The application has been changed to address the issue, Garza said.

The issue being that someone decided that asking if you are a citizen is mean and racist and stuff so they removed the question.

The city attorneys have to be freaking out over this, ass-covering assertions to the contrary.
