Lack of Judicial Temperament: No impartiality, and respect for all parties appearing before them.

2.0
/ 5

Lack of Judicial Temperament: No impartiality, and respect for all parties appearing before them. Bias, or disrespect, could raise concerns about fitness for the role. Consistently asks counsel for in chambers/off the record hearings against the wished of the litigants. Makes secretive deals with the attorneys that are detrimental to the litigants. Allow fraud, dishonesty, deceit and the submission of false and fabricated evidence by attorneys. Ethical Concerns: Does not avoid conflicts of interest, impartiality, and maintaining integrity in their professional and personal conduct. Lack of Legal Qualifications or Experience: A lack of qualifications or experience in the law could raises doubts about a this justice's ability to effectively fulfill their duties. Partisan Bias: Justices are expected to interpret the law impartially and without regard to political ideology or personal biases. Any evidence of strong partisan bias that could impact judicial decision-making could raise concerns about impartiality and fitness for the role. Inability to Uphold Constitutional Principles: Justices must uphold the principles enshrined in the Constitution, including protection of individual rights, adherence to the rule of law, and commitment to justice and equality for all. Any actions or beliefs that contradict these fundamental principles could raise doubts about a justice's fitness for the role. Incompetence or Inability to Perform Duties: Justices must be able to effectively perform the duties of their position, including conducting legal analysis, writing opinions, and participating in oral arguments. Any evidence of incompetence or an inability to perform these duties could call into question a justice's fitness for the role.

He doesn't listen.

He doesn't listen. He acts like he doesn't care. He doesn't really look at evidence and just makes a flippant decision about families. I'm sorry I voted for him. He represents why a lot of people of color do not believe in the law. He also seems to have a basic view of domestic violence and mental health. If your a woman of color, please do what you can to get another judge before even seeing him.
