FAMILY COURT’S STAR CHAMBER: BERGEN COUNTY, NEW JERSEY
Dr. Bandy X. Lee, a former Yale professor and Harvard-trained forensic psychiatrist, is taking on the heart of judicial darkness in Bergen County, New Jersey. In a blistering federal lawsuit, Dr. Lee accuses Chief Judge Jane Gallina-Mecca, GAL Evelyn Nissirios, and Judge Michael Antoniewicz of weaponizing gag orders to silence her First Amendment-protected speech. With over 2,500 signatures on an impeachment petition and constitutional scholar Bruce Fein representing her in federal court, Dr. Lee’s battle is drawing national attention. “They may have gagged me in court,” she said, “but they will never silence the truth.”
