I have a different understanding of judicial ethics. Laelth Jun 2012 #26

Really? You think his statements continue his 'appearance of impartiality'? sinkingfeeling Jun 2012 #29

He's only required to be impartial while the case is pending. Laelth Jun 2012 #30

Not true. This is why now something like 80% have no respect for sinkingfeeling Jun 2012 #35
