He might indeed be a dumb#@@, but it ought to bother you that anybody would be fined $50k for wearing a costume to a party.
He loses $50K of taxable income for his six month suspension.
No, not at all. As a matter of judicial ethics, he has a responsibility to make sure that there is no reason for the public to challenge his impartiality, lack of prejudice and/or bias - this is the oath one takes when one becomes a judge. His appalling lack of judgment evidences a callousness towards this obligation and towards his ethical responsibility as a judge - a fine, imposed by the Supreme Court of the state, is the least of this guy's worries - he's lucky the judicial tenure commission didn't toss him from the bench. I repeat what a dumb#@@!
NO!! He's a damned judge for god sakes!!! He should be tossed from the bench.
Imagine being a black individual and facing the judgement of this jackass.
He certainly is a dumb ass.....when you're in such a position all eyes and ears are on you 24/7. Yup I do agree with posts that said racial sensitivity courses are equivalent to commie reeducation camps etc etc but still that doesn't take away from a lapse in common sense as in this particular case.
