In the annals of unforuntate names...

... this one is a doozy.

Read this article from the Los Angeles Times:
A state panel on Tuesday ordered a Santa Barbara County judge removed from her job after a series of offenses, including driving drunk and hiding the source of campaign funds.

The conduct of Superior Court Judge Diana R. Hall, 56, shows "an alarming disrespect for authority" and "an inability to control her behavior," the Commission on Judicial Performance concluded in a harshly worded 30-page decision...

Hall, the sixth California judge removed by the panel since 2001, "undermined the fair electoral process with her deceit and misrepresentations," commissioners wrote. "At a minimum, there is an appearance that Judge Hall holds her judicial office as a result of election fraud."...

Hall's legal problems centered largely on a romantic relationship she had with an aerospace executive named Deidra Dykeman.

Yes, folks, Judge Hall was brought down partially because of the contentious relationship with her lesbian lover. Her lesbian lover named Deidra Dykeman. Dykeman. I'm just saying...
