Judge Tim Philpot

Fighting over who pays the bill Rather like Shaggy and Scooby, Tim Philpot loves to eat. He writes about his favorite dishes and eateries in his autobiographical novel set in Lexington. Kentucky. Rather than praising his wife’s home cooking, he extols his mother’s chicken and appears to have a fondness for sharing burgers with various minors he mentors in the story. He plots imposing “Irretrievably Broken Hearings” with his law school co-conspirators at “Tolly Ho”, near the UK campus. The book’s final chapter closes with a visit to Natasha’s donut shop where he counsels Natasha against leaving her abusive husband who is addicted to pain killers and “Black Tar Heroin.” In the book, Judge Philpot’s favorite gastronomic establishments include: Restaurant Bob Evans Denny’s Cracker Barrel Five Guys             Tolly Ho Natasha’s Unfortunately, th...

   Outspoken judge on gay marriage sanctioned Andrew Wolfson , @adwolfson 11:14 a.m. ET Jan. 9, 2017 A conservative Family Court judge who has called gay marriage an “oxymoron” like “jumbo shrimp” has been sanctioned by the Kentucky Judicial Conduct Commission. The agency issued a public reprimand against Fayette Circuit Judge Timothy Philpot, saying it received information during a preliminary investigation that he requires married couples with children to participate in special hearings to determine whether their marriage is irretrievably broken but does not require hearings with couples who do not have children. The commission also said it was told that Philpot was providing third parties with facts about the cases that were not part of the public record to assist them in research and teaching duties. In a Jan. 6 opinion, it concluded that Philpot violated a rule that requires judges to perform their duties fairly a...

It is difficult to convincingly label Judge Philpot as either misogynist or anti-male through his public actions because there are more subtle layers of bias underlying his decisions in individual cases. His dichotomous attitude towards women has already been explored from the Madonna/Whore complex perspective in this blog: ( http://judgephilpot.blogspot.com/2017/01/dichotomy-in-judge-philpots-attitude.html ). Judge Philpot’s conscious and subconscious attitudes are not doubt shaped by his own conflicted upbringing, which he freely discusses in nearly every public speech.   His latest book (Judge Z) provides glaring and inescapable truths about his attitude to other men, particularly in the context of their ethnicity and his perception of their material success or achievement. Almost every male character who is not firmly on the judge’s team ideologically speaking, is portrayed negatively and only one achieves any kind of redemption. The males who are not White, An...

In his autobiographical novel “Judge Z : irretrievably broken”   Judge Tim Philpot describes in detail and with surprising disdain, the funeral of RJ Corman. See if you can spot the similarities between the “fictional”   account from the book below and the newspaper description of the same funeral is here: http://www.kentucky.com/news/local/obituaries/article44441058.html#storylink=cpy “A celebration for the life of Henry ‘Hank’ Clay Alexander,” the fancy bulletin said. Three days ago, Hank was the richest man in Scott County. The governor of Kentucky sat in the front row at his funeral. Even the UK basketball coach was present. Hank’s long battle with cancer was over. Judge Z was in the third row because Hank was his cousin. Hank’s mom was Beulah’s older sister. The service was conducted in Hank’s private airplane hangar at the Scott County Airport, big enough to house his three jets. He made his money in the coal and timber business. He came from nothing, never...
