Sorry.
His court; his rules.
It’s not his court.
It’s the people’s court.
And those aren’t masks.
They’re muzzles.
As for NC’s guidance...

I see nothing there allowing that judge the ability to do this.
“Sorry.
His court; his rules.”
It doesn’t work that way. Like I said above, I’ve been involved in removing three judges from the bench for misconduct. Several more I have had reprimanded by higher courts.
I highly respect the judicial system and do not take judicial misconduct lightly. I have several judges as friends and would never abuse the system.
It’s not about an ego pissing contest or getting even. It’s about fairness. Nothing gets my blood boiling faster than a crooked or inept judge. I understand that judges can have a bad day, or must sometimes step close to being a tyrant to bring attorneys into line, but judges are accountable too.
Judges live in glass houses. In every case I was involved in, there were bigger problems discovered as a result of my triggering an investigation.
