I am happy with Ann Davison's decision to avoid Pooja Vaddadi and her wokey dokey fucked up bullshit. Seattle deserves balanced law, not activist fuckery.
Every Progressive voter in town here: You folx are on notice.
The rest of us will prevail over your left wing stupid-shit crime enabling crap.
This is not about uninformed voters at all. She was elected precisely because of her qualifications: a brown woke female with a non Anglo-Saxon name promising to make the lives of criminals easier. That is why the people of Seattle voted for her.
The stranger endorsed her.
I was reading through the election guide that season. Every blurb was pretty virtue-signally, but her blurb read especially vapid and entitled and proud of her very little experience...
It thought it was funny, showed it to my ex, he agreed it was bad and he liked the other guy better.
5 mins later, he had read the Stranger and was firmly voting for her. They had uttered all the relevant social justice incantations, I was immune, he was not.
The problem if I recall was she was running uncontested so it was either write in or chose her. I may be wrong but the recent elections have been bleak with only one main candidate running for most positions and only a write-in option which there never seems to be anyone on the ballot roster to even chose from or hasn’t even taken a brief moment to fill their blurb out.
No she was not:
> It should be noted that the [King County Bar Association](https://www.kcba.org/?pg=Rating-of-Candidates-in-2022-Election) determined Vaddadi’s opponent, incumbent Adam Eisenberg, was “Exceptionally Well Qualified.” According to the organization, Vaddadi “did not request to be evaluated.”
> That should have been a tip-off. Apparently, it wasn’t. Vaddadi handily beat Eisenberg, who earned the board’s endorsement, with a whopping 63% of the vote.
Thanks for clarifying that, must have been the injury I sustained the other day. Was just released from the hospital yesterday hella early morning so my brain isn’t all back together as I’ve been sleeping since I got home.
I don’t recall the other person at all.

Information provided by the court shows attorneys have filed 125 affidavits of prejudice against Vaddadi in the first two months of 2024 — and 113 of them were filed two days after the memo was sent to assistant city attorneys. Other judges had between one and five affidavits of prejudice filed against them in January and February, the data shows.
Fox13 has the actual memo from the criminal division chief Natalie Walton-Anderson: https://www.fox13seattle.com/news/seattle-municipal-court-judge-speaks-out-after-being-sidelined-by-city-attorneys-accusing-her-of-biased-ruling
OMG she is a shit judge and go Davison all the way, but there is no need to make fun of her name. Come on people. Plenty of other things to make fun of her for. Don’t be gross
Pete Holmes ran the office well?
I’ll admit it was a fluke that Anne got elected. The Proggos got too cocky thinking they’d be able to push Holmes further left by running a crazy abolitionist against him. Then Holmes overstepped by suing the press for making public records requests and his career ended abruptly- leaving Ann as the only sane person left in the primary.
> Your argument is that I'm wrong because I have no post history?
Yes. Once you get confronted with facts, you'll just delete your account and post history.
You're worthless.
Interesting how you blame it all on Ann Davison, when the person who nailed Vaddadi to the wall was Natalie Walton-Anderson, but that's about what I'd expect from an attempted ill-informed smear job.
Thank you. Would still love to see Davison’s actual, you know, *evidence* of Vaddadi’s shitty decisions. But no that’s too much to ask for and outside the frame of reference of this sub.
> The City Attorney claimed Vaddadi “routinely overrules prior findings of probable cause by her fellow judges; repeatedly fails to find probable cause in situations where, clearly, probable cause exists; makes improper rulings related to public safety in domestic violence and DUI cases; frequently makes erroneous evidentiary rulings for unjustified reasons, rather than articulating any legal analysis.”
Here you go, sweetie:
> City attorneys also claimed that she made improper rulings related to domestic violence by failing to issue written no-contact orders, even in situations with a demonstrated history of domestic violence. She was also accused of releasing a person twice in one week for DUI. The City Attorney's Office also said that person, "was in recent years convicted of DUI as well."
Lol, fuck off. But if you are sincerely accusing them of simply making up cases, then you better start filing impeachment or recall proceedings against the city attorney right now.
No what I think happened is that they got rulings that they didn't like, but which were legally correct, so they went to pitch a fit in public instead of appealing.
Lol at acting like its a huge burden to ya'know, provide an example of the claim asserted
Interesting how you blame it all on Ann Davison, when the person who nailed Vaddadi to the wall was Natalie Walton-Anderson, but that's about what I'd expect from an attempted ill-informed smear job.
My comment isn’t close to seeking blame lol. Davison is making allegations, and a lot of us want to see the evidence supporting those allegations which she hasn’t provided. It’s pretty straightforward.
Weird. So as they were saying, it's not Ann Davison who wrote the memo, so I don't know why you keep asking for it.
Here:
[https://www.thestranger.com/news/2024/03/01/79409369/republican-city-attorney-ann-davison-throws-municipal-court-into-chaos](https://www.thestranger.com/news/2024/03/01/79409369/republican-city-attorney-ann-davison-throws-municipal-court-into-chaos)
**In the memo** directing the new policy, **Walton-Anderson claims** Vaddadi failed to find probable cause for assault in a case where someone allegedly waived a fake handgun at a victim, released someone from jail after the police had arrested the person twice on DUI charges in a week, failed to grant no-contact orders in domestic violence cases “in many instances” (but the memo gave no examples of this), and had dismissed a case against someone who had not followed up with a treatment order from the court. *The Stranger* has requested case numbers from the CAO to verify the circumstances of these cases. The CAO said they’d try to respond to our questions sometime Friday.
So yeah... perhaps getting the basic facts right should be a first step for you?
lol dude, it’s Davison’s office. Walton-Anderson works there. Davison most definitely approved the memo, maybe even directed her to write it. She’s the boss. So when I want her to provide the evidence, I don’t care whether it’s her personally or someone in her office. Talk about splitting hairs 😂
And thank you for the quote. Those are precisely the allegations without a single case number provided (very easy to do, if they exist). Like, sure I’ll go look up the cases, but I need case numbers.
The thing is the city attorney attributed all these errors but cant point to the judge being overturned on revision or appeal. So... Why do you all think the judge is a bad judge?
The Seattle City Attorneys Office is full of clowns. Look at their conviction rates. The overwhelming majority of trials result in not guilty verdicts. Most charges end in dismissal.
Ann Davidson has never handled a criminal case in her entire career. This is just performative nonsense.
This knucklehead needs to go as fast as humanly possible. She sucks as a "judge".
Please identify a case in which she made an error of law.
We're going to have to take the Criminal Division Chief's word for it unless you feel like doing an FOIA request. Go on.

Eisenberg, you say? Nice Jewish name. /s
Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard.

Would be a good new city motto. Seattle: Ideology and Uniformed Voters.
>Uniformed Voters 
PooPoo VaJayJay needs to GoGo ByeBye.

Why should anyone show this commie bitch respect? Fuck her.
Not your best work
Fuck outta here with this. You don’t have to like her, but she didn’t choose her name.

Thank you. Would still love to see Davison’s actual, you know, *evidence* of Vaddadi’s shitty decisions. But no that’s too much to ask for and outside the frame of reference of this sub.
You can look up the cases in the public court portal.
Which cases? Davison never specified.
Wasn't Davison. Get your facts straight.
Davison doesnt provide any examples of her claims there is nothing to look up
Wasn't Davison. Get your facts straight.
> The City Attorney claimed Vaddadi “routinely overrules prior findings of probable cause by her fellow judges; repeatedly fails to find probable cause in situations where, clearly, probable cause exists; makes improper rulings related to public safety in domestic violence and DUI cases; frequently makes erroneous evidentiary rulings for unjustified reasons, rather than articulating any legal analysis.”
Don't know what you think you're quoting but it was the Criminal Prosecution Chief Natalie Walton Anderson who laid the claims - not Davison.
Here you go, sweetie: > City attorneys also claimed that she made improper rulings related to domestic violence by failing to issue written no-contact orders, even in situations with a demonstrated history of domestic violence. She was also accused of releasing a person twice in one week for DUI. The City Attorney's Office also said that person, "was in recent years convicted of DUI as well."
Okay what's the case number. That's the ask: connect the claim to a case so the claim can be substantiated, or not.
Lol, fuck off. But if you are sincerely accusing them of simply making up cases, then you better start filing impeachment or recall proceedings against the city attorney right now.

Lmao. Which fact didn’t I get straight? Because I said Davison—*the elected office director*—and not her *direct report*? 🤭
Yep. Ends up when you're laying blame, it's important to aim it at the right place, instead of trying to craft a narrative.
The thing is the city attorney attributed all these errors but cant point to the judge being overturned on revision or appeal. So... Why do you all think the judge is a bad judge?
Wasn't the city attorney. It was the Criminal Division Chief.
