Michigan Democratic Party Chair Mark Brewer is keeping up his attacks on Michigan Supreme Court Justice Robert Young for his extreme views -- this time for a dissenting opinion Young wrote minimizing the value of a mother’s care for her children.
In Thorn v. Mercy Memorial Hospital, Young wanted the Michigan Supreme Court to severely limit the compensation for the future care of the children of a mother killed due to a botched Caesarean section. The majority of the court disagreed.
"Young's statements minimizing the value of a mother's care for her children are an insult not only to all mothers, but to all parents as well," said Brewer. "Once again we see Young putting the interests of insurance companies, like the one he used to work for, ahead of people injured or killed in this state, as well as their children.
"Young's antiquated views would take us back to the days when 'women's work' was used as a crude, offensive stereotype to deny the value of women’s role in child-rearing," said Brewer. "The people of Michigan are growing tired of so-called 'family values' politicians like Bob Young, Mike Cox, and Mark Sanford who proclaim their fidelity to family values and then betray those values by their actions."

Sequel to the 'Sleeping Judge'?
The "sleeping judge" -- former Supreme Court Chief Justice Cliff Taylor -- must have been absolutely the worst justice to ever serve on the Michigan Supreme court, right?
I mean, falling asleep during the arguments in a case in which little kids burned to death in a fire. That positively has to mark you as the least competent person to ever put on a black robe for our state.
Am I right?
Turns out, I'm not.
According to a poll of Michigan lawyers, there's another judge who was just as bad as the recently-departed-from the bench Taylor.
The 2008 Michigawn Lawyers Weekly survey says that Taylor's bench-mate, Robert Young Jr., is just as bad as Taylor, virtually tied for dead last in overall performance.
Young's seat is up in 2010.
Need I say more?
