Controversial Remarks About Sarah Palin

On February 5, 2009, the New York Daily News reported that, while presiding over a case involving an autistic boy, Judge Buchwald made a remark about former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and her Down syndrome child, Trig, saying, "That kid was used as a prop, and that to me as a parent blew my mind." Judge Buchwald would later backtrack from her comments.
