Judges are expected to give up partisanship in order to remain impartial on the bench.

If they want to excercise the full spectrum of free speech they need to step down from the bench. They know this when they take the job.

Trump’s lawyers can use this to demand recusal.

IOW, Judge Merchan has more obvious ethical violations than Trump. Maybe Merchan should be the one being indicted.

It is not a law, it is part of the code of conduct. Judges should, in fact must, at least appear to be impartial.

A message from the boss:

Wouldn’t it be great if we could complete this FReepathon in under 60 days? Please get your donations in early and let’s get ‘er done! Thank you very much! Your support is greatly appreciated! God bless you.

“I was reading this early this morning, went to several articles, and was dismayed that they are pushing this when he apparently made three $10 donations. Seriously?!”

Normally, I would say the same. But this action, no matter the amount, is specifically prohibited by law. There is no gray area at all. No donation to political parties since it shows favor for one party over another.

As we have heard repeatedly lately, “No one is above the law”.

I give no quarter!

So far as Clarence is concerned, they’re basically saying that the man is not allowed to have friends. This one, evidently, has been a friend for 40 years. Visiting a friend is not a gift.

Don’t worry.

He can prove his innocence at his hearing/trial.
