NORA ANDERSON, SUSPENDED
Poor Nora.
Here's what Jimmy Vielkind of the PolitickerNY.com reported earlier today:
Anderson Suspended Before She's Sworn In
ALBANY--The state's highest court has moved to suspend Nora Anderson, who was elected as a Surrogate judge in November.
The move comes three days before Anderson was due to be sworn in. She was already the subject of a hearing by the Commission on Judicial Conduct related to a $225,000 loan she gave to her campaign.
The Court of Appeals ruled today that Anderson was suspended, with pay, because of the pending case before the CJC. The decision was unanimous, with departing Chief Judge Judith Kaye abstaining.

They are probably going to indict Jimmy's dentist next.

It's great to know that any DA in this state can get a judge automatically suspended by indicting them. The DA can then put the judge in the untenable position of ether resigning or potentially incriminating herself, by simultaneously starting a proceeding before the Judicial Conduct Committee.
Right out of the Vladimir Putin playbook.
