Time for a confession. I love Judge Judy. I love the way she takes the most obvious thing in the case, the elephant in the punchbowl if you will, and throws it right back at the person that thinks they don't owe their ex-girlfriend $1,400 anymore just because they don't "feel like" paying it back. She's spent the last ten years telling idiots what they already know,and for that, I thank her.
For Judy Sheindlin, marking her 10th season as the star of one TV's top-rated syndicated shows, watched by 10 million people daily, enforcing justice is a full-time job. Her grandchildren may enjoy some slack; all others, watch out.

Her unshakable mantra is personal responsibility. It's a position that played well when her show began and may be even more beguiling in a time vexed by the forces of war and terror. The real power is yours, Sheindlin tells us; who wouldn't want to believe?
Is there any stronger voice in the world than that of a rational person telling idiots what they know to be true yet cannot accept? I think not.
