hat tip to butterfly77 for her op on this. I'm posting this op because I despise this piece of pig shit and I'm alarmed that this racist, misogynist, homophobic nightmare is actually a judge in cases like, oh, child custody.
I want this to pop up when someone does a search under his name. I want this man driven from the bench and the legal profession and I want his cases and judgments viewed with suspicion. I want him not to be able to go out in public without receiving hostile stares and whispers.

Maggios most disturbing statement, however, may be a description of something called Rodeo sex, which appears to be when man tries to physically force a woman to continue having sex with him after he has said something to her that causes her to withdraw her consent:

then there's this:
He brings a record already marked by a past discipline by the state Ethics Commission for expenditure of campaign money on personal expenses. He was also written up by the Conway Log Cabin Democrat for flashing a badge at a state trooper during a speeding stop. And hes had a variety of financial mishaps tax liens and a mortgage in arrears. Weve focused on him more recently for a remarkable write-down of a unanimous jury verdict in a nursing home malpractice case. He said he was shocked by the $5 million verdict for pain and suffering of a woman left untreated by the nursing home and reduced the award to $1 million. Hes received a third of the money hes raised for his campaign so far from nursing homes, with help from UCA lobbyist Gilbert Baker, who contends hes working on his own time as a bundler of money for conservative judicial candidates and Republican legislative candidates.

lots of screenshots of his vile comments here:

He's withdrawn from his race (unopposed) to the appeals court and he wrote a whining letter of "apology" where he decries the "politics of personal destruction".
this fuckwit's career should damn well be destroyed. I'm just doing my little bit for that.

(18,186 posts)Another vile Republican claiming "conservative family values" while he encourages men to rape women. Wonder if he has any daughters, and how he would feel if one of his daughters were treated the way he advocated treating women?
Maybe he wouldn't give a damn, since even their own daughters must be second class objects being female and all.
Hope he rots in his own stench.

(100,107 posts)Certifiable. Among other racist and misogynist things he posted, he actually leaked details concerning Charlize Theron's adoption and again proved himself to be a racist douchebag. Ethics? This guy doesn't have 'em!

How small minded one must be to equate how someone looks with whether he is a good person or a shithead?

I apologize deeply for my lapse in personal judgment and for that, I have no excuse, he continued. The comments posted were not acceptable. These comments are not a reflection of who I am At this time, in light of the pain I have caused to my family, friends, supporters, the Judicial Branch, and the public, I have requested that the Secretary of State remove me from the ballot.
