Brickbat: That Mother

Cook County, Illinois, Judge James Shapiro has stripped Rebecca Firlit of all rights to see her 11-year-old son until she gets vaccinated for COVID-19. She shares custody of the boy with her ex-husband. The father did not request the order. Rather, the judge asked Firlit if she was vaccinated during a child support hearing, and when she said no, Shapiro revoked her visitation rights. The attorney for the boy's father said the judge's decision came as a surprise but is supported by the dad.

She's worse than Harvey Weinstein.
But not worse than Jan. 06. Nothing in history has been or will ever be (at least until Democrats can’t make political hay out of it).
Not even Dixiecrat rednecks burning record albums and books?
Interesting thing about Shay's rebellion. It was about taxes and debt and all, but they started out surrounding courthouses to stop the judges from issuing rulings.
The judge reversed his own decision later in the day. Apparently the judge isn't a fan of the cold light of day.
I was for the camps before I was against them.
Did someone park a woodchipper in front of her house?

"Shapiro’s one-paragraph order in the case of Rebecca Firlit gives no reason for his change of heart, stating simply that “this court hereby VACATES paragraph 3 of its August 11, 2021 order based on the absence of a pleading or hearing on serious endangerment” pursuant to Illinois law."
Looks like the bad press worked
That's fantastic to hear.
Good. Need to start setting precedents with this nonsense.
Wow, this judge is on some kind of power trip. He should be thrown out.
Judge Shapiro is an elected Democrat. He does not want Libertarian spoiler votes to do him like they did Slick Willy's old lady.
Don't get divorced and the government has less oversight...
But seriously the logic is that the 11 year old can't get vaccinated, but I can't imagine this order will stand. This is nuts.
But I suspect that most days involve a nuts ruling in a family court somewhere.
don't get married. even easier.
How long before Logan's Run style birthing and age limits.
When I opposed clinicians putting my daughter on drugs that made her drool and gain weight, I was threatened with charges of child endangerment.
Once doctors and judges and social workers get involved, parents have no say in how to raise their children.
Bow to the self-proclaimed experts or they'll sever your relationship with your child. Or to put it differently they'll sever a child's relationship with their parent.
Doesn't get much more cruel than that.
All over ego.
The Party is ego? Someone needs to reread 1984!
Illinois.....
Although NY, NJ, MA or CA would not have surprised me.
After the shitstorm, the judge reversed herself.
So now the father's attorney is appealing the reversal.
Remember when Biden's cronies were against shooting up drugs?
The judge reversed his order. Why isn't that part of this story?
Because Charles Oliver is lazy.
