On New Years Eve, Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Don Willett channeled Rick Astley by tweeting People of EarthIn 2018, @JusticeWillett will never: give you up, let you down, run around, desert you, make you cry, say goodbye, tell a lie, hurt you.
Before that, Willett, at the time a justice on the Supreme Court of Texas, tweeted out his son confusing Eminem and eminent, a picture of three puppies and a picture of cornbread shaped like his home state.
But with Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy announcing his retirement on Wednesday, and Willetts name appearing on a list of Trumps potential Supreme Court nominees, the judges frequent tweeting last year raises questions of judicial impartiality.
Legal scholars say theres no legal provision prohibiting Supreme Court justices from sharing their opinions online or in speeches. The Supreme Court has maintained that the strict code of conduct that applies to lower court judges does not apply to them, but that doesnt that the legal community looks favorably on justices making public comments.

Of course you did ...
It's the favorite food of the po' white trash deplorables that goose-step to Trump's commands. I think I had a piece just the other night.
I wonder if the saying, “you get flak when you’re over the target” applies here?
A Justice who Rickrolls! We can’t have that!
/stuffy, humorless liberal
Have to consider the news source in times like this.
Their plan is to postpone the vote until they can torpedo any selection or totally compromise who is chosen.
We've got to STOP pretending democrats are the ‘loyal opposition' - and recognize they're devolving into communist thugs.
If saying something that one disagrees with makes one ineligible for an office, then nobody is eligible for any office - as soon as all the Dems resign, I will back their proposal...
From now on, only say “Rye bread” in tweets, then no one will be able to criticize it.
I go by a simple rule, pi R round, cornbread R square. Or is it the other way square, never mind.
Willett is my top choice.
OMG!
Here’s his Twitter feed. It is great!
I am down to his daughter’s class reciting the Christmas story to his mom’s memory care facility neighbors...I see no controversy.
Unless one has a terminal case of TDS.
The puppy tweet was terrifying—three ferocious attack puppies in training. Pit Bull owners beware: THEY’RE COMING TO GET YOUR INNOCENT DOGS!!
A man like this, who’ll wantonly terrorize women, children, and Pit Bull owners with such a tweet is obviously unfit for SCOUS. The tweet is so horrific that I’ve refused to let my two elderly dogs even see it, even though one is a 90 lb. American Staffordshire Terrier cross and the other a 120 lb. Great Dane .

Thanks for posting that link!
Yes...YES I do!....after reading those post it's obvious he's a racist anti-semite-muslim-mexican-indian-anglo-direct descendant of the devil and God and eats small children for lunch!...To not understand that...You'd have to have an IQ lower then Maxine Waters..../s
But Eminem is white.<<<
