Judge seeks investigation of leak in misconduct case that threatens her career

By Marc Freeman, South Florida Sun-Sentinel:

Last month, two organizations slammed the proceedings against Bryson as an “outrage,” making her the victim of “bogus allegations.”

The Palm Beach County National Organization for Women, joined by Families Against Court Travesties, Inc., said there’s a clear connection between Bryson filing her civil lawsuit and the misconduct charges .

“To see a professional legal leader being personally attacked by others in her profession is despicable,” wrote officials with the organizations. “She has done an exceptional job as a jurist and a mom, and these attacks on her are plainly politically motivated; the criticisms are manufactured.”

Scotland Is the First Country to Make Access to Tampons and Pads Free and Universal

From Glamour.com: “Scotland made history yesterday when it became the first country to offer its citizens free and universal access to menstrual products, including tampons and pads. That’s right—totally free period supplies for all who need them.

Scottish Parliament voted unanimously on November 24 to pass the Period Products bill, according to CNN. The new law means the products will be available in public buildings, which includes schools and universities, and authorities must make sure they’re offered for free.”
