I ask that all these comments about Judge Merchan be removed.

I ask that all these comments about Judge Merchan be removed. These are pro-Trump instigators. We've tried many cases before his Honor and had many cases inMental Helath court with him. He is an epitome of discretion, understandng and patience. He is unassailable in the eyes of all seasoned practitioners. Simply absurd that people can make these claims re an outstanding jurist -- simply b/c he's the PJ of Donald's trial and isn't letting DJ run the show. Should this judge bend the knee to Le Gran Organge, like Aileen Cannon in Florida. Is that really what you want in a neutral and detached arbiter?

Judge Merchan's courtroom is an embodiment of judicial misconduct and professional ineptitude.

Judge Merchan's courtroom is an embodiment of judicial misconduct and professional ineptitude. His demeanor is consistently marked by a profound lack of respect for all litigants, regardless of their circumstances or the gravity of their cases. His interactions are often characterized by an abrasive and condescending tone that leaves litigants feeling demeaned and undervalued. This habitual rudeness not only undermines the dignity of the court but also erodes public trust in the judicial system. In addition to his disrespectful attitude towards litigants, Judge Merchan's treatment of counsel is equally, if not more, deplorable. His approach is far from the professionalism one would expect from a person in his position. He frequently interrupts attorneys, dismisses their arguments with unwarranted hostility, and exhibits a complete disregard for proper courtroom decorum. This unprofessional demeanor creates an adversarial and intimidating environment that hinders the fair administration of justice. One of the most alarming aspects of Judge Merchan's conduct is his apparent lack of judicial temperament. A judge is expected to maintain composure and impartiality, yet Judge Merchan routinely fails in this regard. His frequent outbursts and erratic behavior starkly contrast with the calm and measured temperament that is a hallmark of judicial integrity. These episodes of volatility are not isolated incidents but rather a persistent pattern that has been observed and lamented by many who have had the misfortune of appearing in his court. Furthermore, Judge Merchan has a notorious habit of yelling at courtroom attendees, often resorting to threats of contempt in an attempt to maintain control. This coercive tactic is not only inappropriate but also abusive, as it instills fear and anxiety among those present. His readiness to threaten contempt as a means of silencing or intimidating participants reflects a gross misuse of judicial authority and a fundamental misun

I think Judge Merchan's bank accounts should be audited.

I think Judge Merchan's bank accounts should be audited. I think he already had his mind made up about Trump before the sham trial began.
