Judge v. Judge
Michigan Supreme Court Justice Elizabeth Weaver is a “sad, angry woman” according to Michigan Supreme Court Chief Justice Clifford Taylor. She, in turn, has little flattering to say about her Democrat Republican colleagues on the bench. Anyone who thought judges are above such petty–and apparently partisan–bickering, take note: judges can be just as petulant and childish as the attorneys who appear before them. As a profession, we are a long way from Atticus Finch.

As long as we’re talking about pettiness, why do you refer to “Democrat colleagues” as opposed to “Democratic colleagues”? As an attorney, you have enough of an education to know that “Democrat” is not an adjective.
To the extent that this term is used pejoratively by Republicans it is quite petty indeed.
Democrat colleagues, Republican colleagues. Donkey colleagues, Elephant colleagues. A Democrat is a member of the Democratic Party, as are (some of) Justice Elizabeth Weaver’s co-justices on the Michigan Supreme Court. It is used in this context as a noun, not an adjective.
However, on re-reading the article, it looks like Justice Weaver, a Republican, is feuding with Republican colleagues, not Democrats. Apparently it is my reading comprehension, not my grammar, that needs work.
