Filipino 'dwarf' judge loses case

Yes folk...it happened in the Philippines.
A Philippines judge who said he consulted imaginary mystic dwarves has failed to convince the Supreme Court to allow him to keep his job. Florentino Floro was appealing against a three-year inquiry which led to his removal due to incompetence and bias.

He told investigators three mystic dwarves - Armand, Luis and Angel - had helped him to carry out healing sessions during breaks in his chambers.

The court said psychic phenomena had no place in the judiciary.

The bench backed a medical finding that the judge was suffering from psychosis.

but i wonder had it been angels, the blessed virgin, or catholic saints he'd been talking to. would they be consistent and still say .. ".. dalliance with dwarves (any supernatural entity here) would gradually erode the public's acceptance of the judiciary as the guardian of the law, if not make it an object of ridicule. "

I think it beLITTLEs all of us to LOOK DOWN on the SHORTcomings of our judicial system. However, SMALL examples like this on the behaviour of a TINY minority only serves to drag it down to a LOW LOW point.
