Judge Judy: No Partiality

I want to write about the legacy of my godly
Grandmother but thought I would lighten it up first.
Yes, I do consider Judge Judy one of my mentors. Tom doesn't particularly care for her yelling, but I see past that and agree with her that she is a "truth machine". Very seldom do I disagree with her decisions and neither do her litigants.
I turn my phone off most days during her first half hour because I hate to be interrupted by anything. Tom knows not to talk to me during it - oops. When I was in the nursing home recovering from an infection, my younger sister Linda knew I was "still alive and kicking" because I asked her to call back after it was over.
First of all, I like that she seems to have no partiality. Even though she is a short 5"2", she can stare down any person in a three piece suit or drug seller off the streets. Tom used to think she favored women, but she will call anyone an "idiot"..who is not paying child support or lying to her face.
She loves children and often encourages people to give them "the widest sphere of love" possible,and even extends that to deadbeat Moms and Dads (as long as it is a safe environment). She does however encourage parents not to make excuses for their children's malicious or wrong behavior.
She does have the only "attitude" allowed in the court and is very funny.
Not many people get past her.
I would not bring a case before her unless I was 150% sure of winning. And I know she wouldn't care if I was and am one of her biggest fans or not:).
