Tim Mak at The Daily Beast noticed the story, and the ironic comparison to the Rice case as well:

The Ray Rice case shows that the NFL's domestic abuse policy is bad. But the federal judicial system's is even worse.
Although U.S. District Judge Mark Fuller is accused of a more prolonged and arguably more brutal assault on his wife than Rice, he will likely keep his job. With the protection of lifetime tenure on the bench and a helpful plea deal, Fuller appears set to skate away professionally unscathed.
...
"The beating he administrated to his wife is far more extensive than the one Ray Rice administered to his fiancée," Donald Watkins, an Alabama attorney who is trying to get Fuller expelled from the bench, told The Daily Beast. "I've seen that the privilege and power of being a federal judge gives you impunity to beat your wife." Watkins recently wrote to the Supreme Court urging Chief Justice John Roberts to take action against Fuller.

But where Judge Kopf had argued that the Chief Judge of the Circuit should take action to keep Fuller off the bench, it looks like that Chief Judge has little interest in doing so. Mak notes, "The acting chief judge of the 11th Circuit has already alluded to Fuller's return to the bench, telling Law360 that 'Fuller recognizes that he needs to deal with these serious issues quickly so when he returns there is as little disruption to his cases as possible.'"

That's right, "when he returns."
