Nevada Judge
According to this article Justice Nancy Saitta abused her authority when she issued a gag order concerning former Clark County Family Court Judge Robert Lueck and his failure to pay back child support.
The unanimous 13-page ruling, written by Justice Michael Douglas, calls Saitta’s decision to seal the case without a written request and without findings or public notice “a manifest abuse of discretion.”
At the time she sealed the case she cited the potential use of the child support information for negative campaigning.
She acknowledged in October 2006 that she made the statements about negative campaigns, but she denied any favoritism toward Lueck and said she ordered the gag order and sealed the records to protect the child.
This judge has abused her position with such regularity that anytime she doesn’t play favorites it’s a newsworthy event.
