Laura Thomas Appointed to Judge in Minnesota
It looks like the State of Minnesota has a new judge.
That statement is, "“Mom presents the child with a toy right before the father is schedule to come (for parenting time)”
Get that, new Judge Laura Thomas thinks if you give the child a toy, right before the other parent is to see the child, that's an example of this "sustained attack on the other parent.
I asked then Ms. Thomas, who was a professor at the University of Minnesota, about this statement.
Here was her response, "Dear Mr. Volpe - I don't provide commentary on individual cases which you are obviously seeking."
Except, I wasn't asking about any individual case, but rather this statement.
She refused to clarify or explain what she meant by giving a child a toy is a form of parental alienation.
Find the full article here.
As I've said before, my biggest problem with people like new Judge Laura Thomas is that with parental alienation it is whatever they want it to be. Now, this woman, who thinks giving a child a toy is parental alienation, will be able to interpret parental alienation anyway she wants from the bench in Hennepin County, where Minneapolis is at.
It's also noteworthy that in Minnesota judges are elected, even though Governor Walz appointed her.
That's because new Judge Laura Thomas is part of another trend. Even though judges are elected, most retire before their term is up, so that Governors can appoint a new judge, who is then re-elected overwhelmingly.
Judge David Knutson- who once forced Michelle MacDonald, a lawyer, to conduct a custody trial handcuffed to a wheelchair, was also appointed in 2004 by then Governor Tim Pawlenty and then elected in 2006.
Far too often, judges in Minnesota, who are supposed to be elected, are instead appointed to fill the seat of retiring judges- or judges who did not finish the term they were elected to complete. Instead, a judge is installed by the political establishment and then elected only after already having served.
It's one of many problems with the Minnesota judiciary which is not mentioned by the media so the voters don't realize that the judiciary has been scamming them for years by having judges retire early so that connected people can be appointed and have an advantage when it is time to be elected. Judge Thomas is just the latest.
Unfortunately, it seems she'll fit in very nicely in this state's judiciary.
Her name is Laura Thomas.
Governor Tim Walz has appointed Professor Laura Thomas as a District Court judge in Minnesota’s Fourth Judicial District. Thomas will be chambered in Minneapolis in Hennepin County.Who is Laura Thomas? Here she is in 2013 below. About three minutes into the broadcast, newly minted Judge Thomas gives this stunning statement about parental alienation, which she described as "a sustained attack on a relationship" by one parent against the other regarding their children.
“Laura Thomas has been a beloved teacher, an exemplary faculty colleague, and a key architect of our leading clinical program,” said Garry W. Jenkins, dean and William S. Pattee Professor of Law. “We will miss her enthusiasm and dedication. Yet, it is always a point of great pride when a member of our community is called to the bench. I am confident that she will be a wise and even-handed jurist.”
In addition to serving as a clinical professor of law, Thomas has served as director of Law Clinics. She has been instrumental in designing Law in Practice, a lawyering skills program at the Law School, for which she co-authored a nationally recognized textbook and which she teaches annually. She also supervises and mentors student attorneys who represent indigent and working poor individuals through the Law Clinic program. She was the 2018 recipient of the Stanley V. Kinyon Clinical Teacher of the Year Award.

David Rucki Now Claims His Parental Rights Were Not Denied
In a remarkable set of interrogatories, David Rucki now claims his parental rights weren't denied and his children were not deprived of their liberty.
David Rucki answered, "deny".
For question number four, David Rucki is asked, "Admit that Deirdre Evavold helped bring Gianna and Samantha Rucki to the White Horse Ranch to deprive David Rucki of access to and parenting time with his daughters." The answer, "Deny"
For question number five, David Rucki is asked, "Admit that by bringing Gianna and Samantha Rucki to the White Horse Ranch, Deirdre Evavold restricted their physical liberty to be with David Rucki." Once again, David Rucki denies in his answer.
For question number six, David Rucki is asked, "Admit that Gianna and Samantha Rucki were aware that Deirdre Evavold brought them to the White Horse Ranch to restrict their physical liberty to be with David Rucki." Once again, David Rucki answers "deny."
In other words, according to David Rucki himself neither his nor his children's rights were violated when they escaped his custody on April 19, 2013, and were hidden on Doug and Gina Dahlen's ranch until November 2015.
This brings up a rhetorical question, if his children's rights weren't violated by staying on the ranch, why were they on the ranch. Below is his daughter answering that question.
