After a history of racism and discrimination in his sentencing, T.S. Ellis certainly needs to be investigated, and removed from his Judicial position. I'm almost to the stance, that every Judge, maybe even Supreme Court Judges, should be given 'Performance Reviews' like the rest of us receive at work. Enough 'demerits' mean removal/termination with no recourse.
