Utah judge suspended without pay for 6 months after critical comments about Trump
A judge in Utah was suspended without pay for six months last week after criticizing President Trump — both online and in court — for his "political incompetence." https://www.foxnews.com/us/utah-judge-su...-MFw7Qeb8k We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!
Criticizing the President online is none of anyone else's business and should not be an offense at all.
Making comments in a courtroom that indicate a political bias in future decisions should be reason to remove a judge from the bench.
Some people just can't resist making political comments in a professional workplace. One would think a certain level of education would help, but that doesn't seem to apply in this day and age.
The judge is an idiot. That web site is click bait central, endless rabbit holes. No wonder the OP lives there.

Judges, like the military, give up certain rights while they serve.

The judge admitted they are held to a higher standard- and they are. Everyone appointed to or voted into a position of influence where neutrality is necessary gives up their "right" to have a personal opinion publicly. Their personal opinions belong behind closed doors.
I don’t think expressing political opinions online, like those he said, are a big deal. You can still do your job and not agree with politicians. He can’t use them to when making decisions in a courtroom, however, and that’s when he messed up. He’s dumb.
Who posts about politics on LinkedIn anyway? (05-28-2019, 01:41 PM)HURRICANE!!! Wrote: Some people just can't resist making political comments in a professional workplace.

So often it seems just the opposite is true; the greater an individual's education and/or rank, the greater the sense of entitlement and general feeling that rules and decorum do not apply to his/her actions.
When you get into the endzone, act like you've been there before.
Judges are lawyers who kissed the right politicians butt. It goes without saying that every judge likely sides with the political party of the guy who appointed him. Our justice system is, and has been broken for a long time.

In more rural, remote areas it's not uncommon for the county judge to be a friend of the county commissioner with zero legal training. They exist basically to find in favor of the police department so that revenue keeps rolling in. |
