I know of a judge whose "problem" with cocaine was an open secret within both government, and the public -- the only exception was the "free press", which ignored it completely.
When he was arrested, the records were quashed, and he remained on the bench. When he decided to run for state appeals court, the county government was delighted beyond comprehension at the thought of finally getting rid of him. Of course, when he won the election (the good people of the state not knowing of his "issues")), their gain was the state's loss.
He still sits on the appeals court bench, sitting in judgement of his betters.
There is something about a lawyer in a robe that has a nearly pathological effect on his ego and sensibilities.
Oh dear, did I say "nearly"?
If I was running the show, first order of business would be to order every judge to hand in his robes for donation to the local rag recycling center, so that some good use could come of them. If he's not willing to sit on the bench wearing a suit and tie like everyone else, well, then maybe he should just go out and work for a living.
