I agree why wasnt he forced to recuse himself? I think they got really strong grounds to appeal this decision.

Wow!
So often the parents are enablers. Kudos to this father for supporting the judge! She was "wrong", "wrong", "wrong".
Good job dad.
They disobeyed a direct court order with contempt. The judge acted properly.
Nope. Even if the judge were in the wrong on this case, the idiot girls violated a court order and conditions of probation. No appeal possible from that.
IMHO, it's the idiot mothers who should go to jail. It seems to me that they are the ones who have enabled their girls to be drunken idiots who despise authority.
Cool, I saw this item on FNC over the weekend, was hoping it would pop up here.
And recusal is absurd, as others have pointed out. If a defendant cusses out a judge in open court, and the judge sentences the defendant to 30 days for contempt, do you think that is inappropriate as well?
And here's the real link for the story:

Judge is out of control here.
Well, until you've gotten a call from the emergency room, stating that they think they have your daughter, don't get too much over his case about this. Drinking is a serious problem these days. When the ER called us, and I'm an RN, we went through every possible stage of emotion before the episode was over. We came within about 1 degree of losing our only daughter due to the fact that she cannot refuse a dare. She tried drinking a beer, then nearly drank a whole 5th of vodka on top. She passed out, and was unable to get off the floor as the "friends" all deserted her. If a friend of the family, a young airman, had not recognized her as he was passing by the bar in a taxi (in a saloon-like place in Incirlik, Turkey) we'd have lost her. There are many kids who die from toxicity from their first drinking binge because of dares, fraternity/sorority parties, etc. I would appreciate a judge taking the time to redress the situation in this case. Obviously the kids didn't get it the first time.
Is that Libertarian philosophy, or just a knee jerk reaction?
Judge Martone had ordered that they did not consume alcohol.
Had he witnessed them doing so in person and called the LEO's, the result could have been the same. ie: violation of a court order.
Your braying makes no sense.
"They made a mockery of the legal system," Martone told the Detroit Free Press for a story published on Jan. 27. "I had to do something."
Tell them to become judges so they can do it on a daily basis.
They sure like to drink in Michigan. Nothing else to do during the winter time other than drink alcohol and play that stupid game Euchre
chugging shots of Jagermeister liqueur...and the way you can ascertain what they were really drinking from website photos is .... ???
Not at all...the condition of the probation was that they NOT DRINK. If the web site had only been obscene messages to the judge, nothing could/would have been done. BUT they were stupid (again) and displayed evidence for all to see that they had disobeyed the conditions for probation by drinking!
They deserved to have their probation revoked.
Because they were also violating the terms of a sentence he imposed.
They got nothing..Every defendant talks about the judge in their cases..Nobody said they were smart
America's future leaders ain't too bright....
These pathetic ding-bat mothers should be eternally grateful that this judge may have saved their daughters from an early grave. I'm sure they didn't walk to these binges and were driving drunk. They were sitting ducks for rape or other violence when they were drunk. Shame on parents who don't control their children and then criticize the justice system that finally has to do it for them.
