"Judge Carter has also received outstanding Judicial Ratings from the Erie County Bar Association and the Women’s Bar Association Western New York Chapter."

Must be a sexist pig then.

I've flagged the petition as inappropriate and included this message;

"I feel that this petition is the result of bitterness and not an accurate representation of the situation. The comments are full of offensive language and I even saw one commenter asking if anyone knew the address of the man that they are defaming.

The petition has broken the guidelines as they have not given sufficient information relating to the cause and therefore a person cannot possibly make the decision to support the cause without further researching the matter.

As a regular user of Change.org, I would be most disappointed to learn that the website helped to harm a man's reputation and potentially risk his career. Therefore, I would be grateful if you could look into this.

I do hope that you can help."

From one of the comments:

The judge ... granted him visitation in2014 even though I've had sole custody since 2006 even though records show he has no rights to my son he, paid no child support to my son and was rarely ever in his life.

He had no rights to her son, presumably because he "paid no child support". I guess she is annoyed the judge gave him "visitation" because it preempted her from selling it.

I've had sole custody since 2006

... and, remarkably,

he ... was rarely ever in his life.

If bias on gender issues were grounds for removing a judge from the bench, then we'd have to have change.org petitions for every feminist judge in America, and removing them from the bench would probably shut down the justice system with the sheer number of vacancies.

Men complain all the time...nothing is done. Women complain, different story.

NJ women call for Judges removal

There are pros and cons to lifetime judicial appointments. But I think this petition highlights the value of lifetime appointments when it comes to constitutional issues such as sexual autonomy, family law, and custody. I don't like the idea of my fundamental liberties being subjected to a vote.

Most of the "reasons" given for signing the petition are the inflammatory "save-the-children!" tripe favored by scoundrels everywhere.

tallwheel · 2015-08-11T01:58:06+00:00

Wow. What a lazy petition. 100 signatures required? Where's the description? And that letter is a joke. Ignore this crap.

IcarusBurning · 2015-08-10T23:52:38+00:00

We really don't know whether or not any of the grievances in the signers' comments hold any water. At face value, however, trying to remove someone from the bench for being a "fathers' rights activist" is pretty shitty.

porkchop_d_clown · 2015-08-10T23:39:05+00:00

You've got to love the grammar in those comments.

proudfangirl · 2015-08-11T08:54:31+00:00

"He treats all cases the same and they deserve a little more attention than that."

Really? If that's not bias then what is?

intensely_human · 2015-08-11T05:54:43+00:00

Does anyone here have actual knowledge of this judge?

MisdemeanorOfTheMind · 2015-08-11T05:39:07+00:00

Solution: require that the petition consist of 50% men and 50% women +/- 5%

vhisic · 2015-08-11T02:48:28+00:00

Dont link strait to the petition... geeeze i almost signed it. Lucky i had my reading glasses on.

2015-08-11T03:44:05+00:00

So... are you in any way sure this guy actually doesn't deserve the criticism he's getting?

2015-08-11T15:10:22+00:00

OP, please delete this. Your link is driving the petition. Lots of traffic comes through here, including our detractors, and they'll sign this petition just out of spite.

Just leave this to the people of Eerie county - by itself, this petition isn't gaining much traction beyond disgruntled parents. No need to politicize it.

chuckstables · 2015-08-13T02:17:32+00:00

Take this post down it's just feeding the petition. I love how angry these feminazi's are getting though, "Oh no how dare that judge treat men like women are treated in family court settings, I should automatically get 100% custody of our children when we break up in addition to 2000 dollars a month in alimony and 2400 a month in child support while i sit around and make no attempt to obtain gainful employment or begin a career. He must be misogynist, BURN HIM AT THE STAKE! JUSTICE! JUSTICE! JUSTICE! JUSTICE!. He probably raped a girl too, and then laughed about it! Fucking men, scum of the earth I tell you!".

Seriously, good on this judge for doing the right thing and giving men equal opportunity in the legal system.

ConfirmedCynic · 2015-08-10T23:50:02+00:00

How did he manage to get appointed? Amazing.
