Judge scolds Rep. Joe Walsh, orders him to prove he doesn’t owe back child-support
A judge in Chicago issued a preliminary ruling Wednesday against U.S. Rep. Joe Walsh (R-Ill.) in the Tea Party favorite’s child-support dispute with his ex-wife, ordering Walsh to explain why he appears to be $100,000 behind on his child-support payments.

Cook County Circuit Judge Raul Vega also wanted to know why Walsh wasn’t in court for the hearing — the McHenry Republican’s ex-wife, Laura Walsh was — and said he expects him to show up at the next hearing, in November.

Walsh’s new attorney, Janet Boyle, asked Vega “for what purpose” he wanted the congressman in court.

Vega gave her a puzzled look.

5. And my unemployed, student son was told he'd go to jail when his income tax return was less than $5
short of what he owed.

6. Uh, counselor?
When the judge tells you your client needs to be in court for the next hearing, your line is, "Yes, Your Honor," not "for what purpose?" Besides, it not like your client has a job where he has to show up to get paid, unlike thousands of other folks involved in lawsuits all across the country. Mr. Walsh will get his full paycheck whether he's at work or not on that day in November.

7. Arrogance? Stupidity? Both?
Regardless, I do feel the term "Epic" applies here.

10. he should
have issued an arrest warrant for him instead.

Walsh needs to learn, not piss off the judge. He can be royally screwed.

Here is the petition.

11. Throw his butt under the jail for contempt. That would be a good start.
Oh and an arrest warrant would be good too.
