I love this answer. I got custody of my kid and everyone assumes that I'm SuperDad and my ex is some horrible monster. Neither is accurate, and I have a rule that no one speaks ill of my ex in front of our son.

Ken, thanks so much for taking on the causes you do. I credit you and Radley Balko exclusively for continually reinforcing my belief that government employees should be sterilized/executed after five years of drawing a .gov paycheck (I'm a former federal employee). What's your opinion on the likelihood of reforming absolute and qualified immunity for judges, prosecutors, and LEOs? And an idea that I am very sympathetic to includes requiring LEOs to secure malpractice insurance (much like doctors and attorneys). Assume that the LEO unions are eventually largely neutered. Do you think a bond/insurance requirement would help weed out the chronic civil rights abusers in law enforcement? What would be the unintended consequences?

This is not uncommon at all. There is apparently no end to the shenanigans that a judge can engage in. Here's another interesting one: the judge can "impute" an income to the father. So let's say dad makes $20,000/year. The judge decides that for child support/alimony purposes it'd be a lot nice if dad made $80,000/year. The judge then magically imputes that income to dad, uses it as the basis for child support/alimony, and now dad has to pay money as though he actually makes four times his real income.
