There *was* nothing wrong with my name… until I was about twelve years old and that no-talent ass clown became famous and started winning Grammys.

-Bolton, M.

Careful, the gender troll might get all fired up and make a comment about how does it matter if Tobs is hot. (My vote is yes.)

I guess we should throw in, for the gender troll, that Goodman is hotter than Bonaventure, although shore hair Bonaventure is hotter than long hippie Bonaventure.

Joe Bonaventure is sexy. So is Trevor Hayes. I love a little cushion for the pushin'.

Since my race depends on name ID, I guess I should say "thank you." Someone told me about the Oct. 19 comment and then I found this one. Are there others?

Between Thursday, October 30 and Saturday, November 1, 2014, access to Las Vegas Justice Court case information will change. The following information applies only to Las Vegas Justice Court case and calendar access*:
•After 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, October 29, 2014, the Las Vegas Justice Court case information will be outdated in the current Odyssey environment.
•Beginning Friday, October 31, 2014, the District Court and Las Vegas Justice Court case information will be contained in separate Odyssey environments.

*Access to Eighth Judicial District Court case information remains the same.

The changes are due to the Las Vegas Justice Court migrating its case management system to a new infrastructure located in the Clark County Operations Center.

For more information and to get answers to questions you may have regarding this migration, see the announcement posted on CCBA’s Court News page, “Access to Las Vegas Justice Court Case Information – Changes effective November 1, 2014” at https://www.clarkcountybar.org/2014/access-to-las-vegas-justice-court-case-information-changes-effective-november-1-2014/

Lisa Rasmussen verbally attacked a DA and got so close as to be in physical contact.

Can Rasmussen actually throw down, or was she just all amped up on rage? Maybe she was going to play the gender card and attack a man, since that's okay (sarcasm).

@ 5:43, I wondered the same thing. She seems to have a running feud with a few of them so it will be interesting to see which one she teed off on this time.

I was opposite her once. She would go unhinged on the judge (and on the record) every time she lost any argument. Her case was terrible, so she lost a lot. I was amazed and a little amused. Now I know I should have been afraid.

Knowing Linda personally, I respect that she'll make decisions and not take shit from anyone. Also, since she isn't a family law attorney, I doubt she will be as petty as most of that bar.

I expect Linda to be all business with no drama. If you have ever seen her sit pro tem in Muni or Justice Court, you know she moves a calendar and does not mess around. "No Drama." Also, havingbeen a defense attorney, she certainly knows when the BS meter is high from the parties or their attorneys. I expect her to handle it all quite efficiently and professionally.

A lot of people complained about Bonaventure Jr.'s lack of experience in the beginning. I have heard very little if any complaints about him in the last five years. I'm quite sure that there are some of his counterparts that most would consider not a good as he is.

Bottom line: experiance is good but doesn't automatically translate into better performance on the bench. There are many smart, experienced attorneys that don't have a good judicial temperment.

The State Bar and former Judge Steven Jones have filed a joint petition with the Nevada Supreme Court for disbarment of Judge Jones by consent. Here is the link for cutting and pasting::
