A liberal-bashing book by a veteran St. Louis judge is to become available publicly this week, but it is already causing a stir in political and legal circles — and prompting some to say it could cost him his job.
Chapter 1 of Circuit Judge Robert H. Dierker Jr.'s book, "The Tyranny of Tolerance: A Sitting Judge Breaks the Code of Silence to Expose the Liberal Judicial Assault," has circulated via e-mail since last month and been widely read in legal circles, lawyers and judges say.
The sentiments expressed in that chapter, which frequently uses the term "femifascists" and is titled "The Cloud Cuckooland of Radical Feminism," have already prompted a complaint with the state body that can reprimand or remove judges.

I'm going to buy this one.
Liberals write "Conservative expose`s" or "insightful commentary".
Conservatives write "Liberal-bashing books".
Love that media.
Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from retribution........
This is true.
Sounds wonderful.
Thanks.
Sounds like a good read.
Welcome to the Post-Enlightenment!
This alone is a solid indictment of the system. If legitimate criticism isn't acceptable, then the system is broken.
The last thing liberals want from judges is impartiality. They also dislike judges who read the law, understand it, and feel ethically bound to follow it. Except when they read Roe v. Wade. That's the difficulty in being a liberal judge; the 'Roe' decision is black letter law, but the Second Amendment isn't.
Don't expect anything positive from MSM on this book.
Sounds to me as though this judge is simply confirming what we already know about the legal system - it is badly broken and sending lawyers to Washington isn't fixing the problem.
A judge for more than twenty years, Robert Dierker has enjoyed a distinguished legal career. But now that career may be on the line. Why? Because he is breaking the code of silence that has long kept judges from speaking out to present a withering account of how radical liberals run roughshod over the Constitution, waging war on the laws of nature, the laws of reason, and the law of God.
Even those outraged by America’s courts will be shocked by Judge Dierker’s story of activist judges, deep-pocketed special interest groups, pandering politicians, and others who claim to stand for tolerance, equal rights, and social justice, but actually stand for something quite different—something closer to totalitarianism.
Citing not only Judge Dierker’s own experiences but dozens of other recent court cases, The Tyranny of Tolerance shows how the courts enable left-wing activists to ram their dangerous agenda down the throats of the American people. Consider:
• Why do the courts claim the power to tax us?
• Why is a Christian fired when he voices opposition to his employer’s favoring homosexuals?
• Why are airline pilots sued and sent to “diversity training” for recommending that suspicious-looking people of Middle Eastern appearance be kept off planes?
• Why does a judge who defends a monument to the Ten Commandments in a courthouse lose his job?
• Why are speech codes imposed on employers, university students, lawyers (and judges!), while “artistic” indecency is protected from even the mildest regulation?
• Why are peaceful abortion protesters thrown in jail, their right to free speech crushed?
• Why are white and Asian students denied admission to colleges and universities in the name of “diversity”?
• Why is an enemy fighter captured in Afghanistan granted access to U.S. federal courts, overturning judicial precedent safeguarding the president’s wartime powers—to say nothing of common sense?
With this passionate insider’s account, Judge Dierker reminds Americans what’s at stake in the battle for the courts: the Constitution, the success of the war on terrorism, the freedom to worship God, the ability to keep our families safe, the institution of marriage, and much more.
Fortunately, Judge Dierker shows how we can defeat the radical liberals’ tyranny of tolerance. By wresting back control of the courts and restoring the legal, moral, and religious principles embedded in the Constitution, we can ultimately reclaim the republic the Founders bequeathed to us.
This is a sure buy for me. God bless this Judge for having the nerve and honor to stand and speak the truth.
The first chapter has circulated by email? Sounds like a copyright violation to me. Oh wait, this is a "leaked document".

Since leftist jurists already publish plenty of partisan material, the only possible compaint against this judge would be that he chose too popular a forum to make his views known.
