		<description>Walter Dorf,

I noticed your self proclaimed vendetta on Judge Domitrovich in Erie County Court. You claim:
&quot;I followed the case and found out her ruling was just as unbelievable as her courtroom antics&quot;.

But you do not cite the case OR ruling.
You followed it carefully, but do not describe how the Superior Court overturned her ruling.  That leads me to believe that they did NOT overturn her, for once again, she drove the attornies nuts and proved correct on law.

Walt, in our system, right and wrong does not matter.
Law is a language of its own, and apparently, Judge Domitrovitch speaks it clearly, for the attornies are hiding the fact that she is rarely, rarely overturned on appeal. 

What does that mean to the Erie County voter?

An overturned case has to be retried, and trials cost taxpayers money.  This judge saves taxpayers money by getting the call right on the first time.

The fact that she ticks the living daylights out of our local esquires is an added plus. Ask any voter in town if they like judges or attornies more. Don&#039;t even swear them in; they will tell the truth.  :)

Law is difficult these days as rulings are required in more and more specialized areas of life. This inevitably leads to mistakes. Flip a coin and you would expect 50-50 heads and tails over time.

Well, our wonderful judge, Stephanie Domitrovich, is not flipping coins, on a multitude of difficult decisions.
Yet, she manages to get the call correct 97% of the time, and NONE of her contemporaries is doing better.

LaRocca says she has a &quot;thin resume&quot;.
Lucas says she has been on the job 20 years.

YOU say, look at her record, or sit in her court and observe. 

You say you read every word of BOTH of us, albeit you have a revenge motive, and that, takes priority over facts, for voters reading you.

I think the judge&#039;s resume of 20 years counts more than your personal revenge on a local judge.
Especially since she is always right so much of the time.

I also do not believe your suggestions are prudent.
Erie folks are hard at work trying to make a living, and it would cause undue hardship to sit in the judge&#039;s court for an afternoon, as you deem a good idea.
I found that suggestion bizarre, overcrowded, and impossible to implement. 
Court is the last place we want to spend a day.

Should we sit in the White House, and Congress, and Harrisburg too, just to meet your suggestion?
When do we go bowling?
Your thought is a tad not useful.

But when you add &quot;Look at her record&quot;, you enter the realm of reality again.
A look at her record would remove reason for any vote; her record is beyond outstanding.

Elizabeth Kelly is a &quot;Yes&quot; for retention by the attorney&#039;s logic.  ??????

That same logic said put Mike Joyce a &quot;Yes&quot; for retention, DESPITE the grand jury underway saying Mike would be wise to bow out (He did----Aug 20th with the election coming November).

So the attorney group (who no one listens to, btw) says Joyce is good and Kelly is good, but Domitrovitch is bad.

Flip a coin in the booth for Dunlavey.
We have no clue if a Guantanamo guy is good at being Solomon in splitting kids in custody, eh?
What if they are YOUR kids in the next 10 years? :(

On the job, attornies have their reasons for lying through their teeth as soon as a hand is lifted to &quot;tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth&quot;.  This is followed by a complete opposite presentation in each case, by both sides. So much for truth!

Dorf, your revenge is good for one vote, presuming you even live here.  

But the people who already voted FOR Stephanie Domitrovich TWICE, will be joined by MORE people next month, with a resounding YES vote, that will make our attornies all go boo-hoo, like you.

This county would be privileged to have her run for another ten years in 2019.  What a gal.</description>

		<description>Danny Lucas,

I am new to this site and don&#039;t know any of the players, but have read every word written by you and Joe LaRocca.

Years ago I witnessed a bizarre hearing in J. Domitrovich&#039;s court. She was **edit**. I followed the case and found out her ruling was just as unbelievable as her courtroom antics. Since then I have followed her other bizarre rulings.

I vowed then to do my part in getting her off of the bench. This retention election is the best shot. I encourage all voters to look at her record, sit for an afternoon in her **edit** courtroom and then go vote.

There is a truth behind her being &quot;not recommended&quot; and it is all not because she is the people&#039;s judge and anti-lawyer. PLEASE, that is such a political line.

Now, go ahead Danny, attack me because I don&#039;t like your immature judge, your arguments for her retention are weak. WD</description>

		<description>Thanks, Paul for the information! It will be interesting to see if the Erie Media reports this information. Or maybe they won&#039;t? Might upset someone at E-Care or STAT?

At least with Carol Pella she made it known to people that it was never personal - just doing her job. Shame Erie no longer has that caliber of reporting</description>

		<description>Easiest $50 bet I ever won!  Thanks PR.

&quot;You can&#039;t predict who will comment next&quot; I was told.

&quot;Sure I can&quot;, said I. &quot;Three comments in a row will draw PR into the fray with a whine. Betcha $50&quot;

&quot;You&#039;re on, and I look forward to your $50&quot;, I was told.

What a serendipity day for me anew.  
I knew you&#039;d come through PR. (My only fear was that CRANK might interfere first; his alias&#039; must be travelling this day).

Press and Tower runs Deep Background and every week ends with &quot;Embrace the chaos&quot;.

 
*Kanye West swiftboats Taylor Swift

*TV set reconstruction

*PEW polls that show media stinks

*Jay Leno Thumbs Up or Down

*A MAJOR local judicial election will be over in 7 weeks, and no one has a clue on which way to vote, is debated.

*Ethics of posting your blog in entirety on others blog&#039;s
(or use a link as the entire WWW does) is injected.

*And the always important insights from PR....TWO this time:
1) blah, blah, blah.
2) this page is ruined.


Looks like I get a quick $50.
Looks like absolute chaos is being embraced.
Looks like your two contributions were by far the best...
at least for my wallet today! :)  :) 

All over Erie, folks are discussing the hot topic this week of &quot;blah, blah, blah&quot;.  You hit a homerun and a deep chord with that comment.  It may go national if CNN picks it up.  Chetry reads here, so we might luck out.

And blog ethics or judicial elections misleadings can ruin a page. It is important to keep the voters uninformed.  Leaves more room for &quot;blah, blah, blah&quot;

Now, I must look at restaurant recommendations at Erie Blogs, thanks to PR. 
What a winner! (maybe one &quot;n&quot; too many there&quot;.</description>
