/2 In my view, a judge who thinks a bar complaint is the appropriate response to a lawyer criticizing a decision as “fascist” is unsuited to be a judge and dubiously suited to be respected as a fellow American.

True, but put the blame where it belongs, @dplouffe.bsky.social lost the election for Harris and American democracy because he refused to attack Trump and Maga.
