Utter trash. Made mad bank on the idea that people love to watch “the poors” be humiliated. Her books are full of racist stereotypes. And if her legendary toughness was based on truth-telling, she would’ve had many more nice words to say… but she didn’t. It was just an excuse to be cruel.

Mind you, she’s been a RETIRED judge her entire TV career.

“Court-show viewers don’t seem to want moral conundrums or technical wrinkles. They love Sheindlin’s show because she offers them a fantasy of how they’d like the justice system to operate — swiftly, and without procedural mishaps or uppity lawyers. They get to see wrongdoers publicly humiliated by a strong authority figure. There is no uncertainty after Sheindlin renders her verdict and bounds off the bench, and there certainly are no lengthy appeals.” – Brendan I. Koerner, author
