Discipline ?!?!?! You mean like shaking your finger at her or having her make amends and pay restitution to the people she harmed or whose lives she destroyed!!!

But wait there’s more…
Brennan also faces several other legal issues, including a criminal investigation by the state police. Attorney General Bill Schuette has said his office will review the investigation when it’s finished.
Brennan is being sued by Livingston County officials who claim she abused her authority by using court employees “as free labor” to perform personal tasks while being paid by the county.
The judge also is being sued in federal court by District Court Administrator Francine Zysk, who claims Brennan retaliated against her after Zysk testified in Brennan’s divorce proceedings regarding the judge’s “dishonesty, perjury, scandalous behavior, bullying of employees and disruption of court officials.”
Well then she is of course innocent until proven guilty. But did she commit a crime or is she just a you know what? – If it were you… it certainly would be a whole list of charges thrown at you – but with her it’s just called misbehaving so far?
