Rating:2.8
Comments:
She did not recuse herself based on her past experience in wrking as a US Attorney. she showed marked partiallity and lack of intellect and ability to differentiate. She does not deserve to be a Federal Judge.She displayed bias in her rulings and lack of the ability to distinguish and judge credibility. She did not recuse herself when her background favored employers and she formerly worked for the US Attorney's office whose reputation was an issue.

She lacks the ability to distinguish cases. She did not disclose predilections before the trial of a case.She lacks common sense or life experiences. She treated military reservist as a second class citizen.

Has the most real trial experience of any judge in the Connecticut district. Friendly, unassuming, very smart. Not garrulous or overly intrusive during trials; let's the lawyers try their cases. A huge asset to the federal bench.
