Uhhh, well, yeah, but it ain't against the law or nothin'....
Geez, if this is went on in 1973, and didn't "violate the law," I'd hate
to see the California version of the board game "Clue"...
"¶ 47. The Commission cites only Geiler v. Commission on Judicial
Qualifications, 515 P.2d 1 (Cal. 1973), for the proposition"offensive,
undignified personal conduct that does not violate the law may
nonetheless give rise to judicial discipline." It is on this basis that
the Commission argues Judge R.R.'s conduct constitutes willful
misconduct in office and conduct prejudicial to the administration of
justice.
¶ 48. In Geiler, a California judge was removed from the bench for
continued and prolonged use of vulgar and profane language in and out of
court. In addition to his use of language, Judge Geiler also attacked
and threatened in open court to again attack an attorney with a
"battery-operated object resembling a penis and sometimes referred to as
a `dildo.'" Geiler, 515 P.2d at 5 n.6. Judge Geiler grabbed the
testicles of a traffic court commissioner causing him to nearly pass
out. Id. He also referred to his clerks as "just a ****ing clerk" and
used similar language in his dealings with attorneys in and out of the
courtroom. Id."
...."I think Col. DeSade killed him in the Crisco Room with the riding
crop and gag...but it was only willfully prejudicial misconduct..."
Sorry, my brethren in NC, but stuff like this is why folks are so
willing to at least consider the option suggested by Henry VI...
....I mean, I'd L-O-V-E-love to hear the argument supporting that one
UNwillfully grabbed someone's danglers as well as attacked another
person with a dildo...in open court...and then threatened to do it
again...help us out here, Stevie...
Dick...the butcher...
