I never would have pegged Judge Judy for a scaredy cat
I’ve always thought of Judge Judy as a total hard ass, but watch her haul ass out of the studio during the recent earthquake in Los Angeles. The old girl doesn’t even stop to dismiss court or bang a gavel or anything!
I guess you don’t have to worry about the “all rise!” stuff when there is a natural disaster taking place. But still, you’d think that Judy could have stuck around for a few more minutes, as officer of the court, to offer guidance and reassurance to the dirtbag litigants (who also aren’t apparently too bright, since they continued to stand there under heavy lights during a friggin’ earthquake.) Isn’t the judge sort of like the captain of a ship? Shouldn’t the judge go down with the courtroom? Even if it isn’t so much a courtroom but rather a sound stage, and even if she’s not so much a judge, but actually is acting as an arbiter.
Judge Judy has been described as “a show where justice is dispensed at the speed of light.” Apparently, the judge is also dispensed to a safe room at the speed of light at the first sign of trouble. I have to wonder if her bench is like the display room in the National Archives where the original Constitution and Declaration of Independence are on display. At the first sign of trouble, those suckers are lowered into a sealed vault for safekeeping, tourists be damned. The same must be true of Judge Judy, our national treasure! So, people, hate the game, not the gamer!
