I noticed while reading the Globe this morning that today is Law Day. The White House says it's about judicial independence. So, it's kind of funny (in a very dark and twisted way) that Judge Maria Lopez insists that her behavior is being targeted because of her judicial independence.

Lopez has done such lovely things as castigate a state prosecutor in open court, let a confessed child molester walk on probation, and lie under oath.

Perhaps not the best timing ever.
