No, it is considered bias when not done to support someone who seems to be above the law in the perception of some members of the judiciary. The ethics question for a judge would be something such as Robertson having been an executive, counsel and board member of Lawyers for Civil Rights Under Law, a group that Obama was on the Chicago board of. But, hey, what’s the rule of law, where Obama is concerned?
Did Obama and Robertson have that relationship?
Doesn’t a judge have an obligation to recuse himself in such a case, according to the Code of Judicial Conduct? And can’t a judge be disbarred for that kind of ethics breach?
What is the penalty for bias? Or is it just something that is supposed to cause the case to be re-tried?
We’ve got people who claim to be lawyers who act as if there’s nothing wrong with a variety of things the judges have done. Stuff like Judge Carter hiring as his own clerk a Perkins-Coie associate when hearing a case originally argued by Perkins-Coie. Or like Chief Justice Roberts specifically inviting Obama for an (ex parte) visit (which no SCOTUS justice has ever done) when he knew court cases involving would still be on their agenda. Or Robertson’s claim that the case had been decided on Twitter.
Everything about this issue and what has been done on this issue stinks to high heaven. And yet we get lawyers claiming everything is peachy. I’ve concluded that they must be Obots because anybody who is aware of judicial ethics issues should be going nuts with all this stuff.
Are these ethics problems obvious to lawyers? Is everybody afraid to say the emperor is naked? Why isn’t there outrage among the lawyers?
Check out Jesse Ventura’s exposure of the scam or conspiicy as he calls it. Goes all the way from Gore to the Rothchilds.
