I totally agree. But having an elite education or being male should not disqualify someone outright.
Again, many judges have gone to elite universities. This is how they become judges. But how is this different from what Trump has proposed with his current dealings with regards to Trump University? If a defendant or a defense lawyer is a Democrat, should the judge also be a Democrat? This isn’t viable and if someone like Trump gets his way, it will open up a Pandora’s box. Unfortunately, we can’t have it both ways.
I’m hopeful something good comes out of this. I hope this judge gets recalled for not upholding his oath, and I hope this sends a message to other judges. In my heart, I like to think that many other judges in the Santa Clara county are equally pissed as we are.
FYI: [USA Swimming wants nothing more to do with this guy] (Redirect Notice) and as he never renewed his membership, they’ve effectively banned him. As a former swimmer, please don’t judge all student-athletes by this prick.
