He’s been removed from the bench: https://apnews.com/article/28a60f3d2814d7e2a097b80676c714a7
He was temporarily removed from his criminal cases while he undergoes training. Technically yes, he was "removed from the bench" but that is misleading as it makes it seem like he was fired, which he was not.
Gonna be the same treatment as cops.
Administrative leave i.e. paid vacation
Judges are just cops in nightgowns
This is an easy question, if you were to ask it.
If - while he's still innocent and not yet proved guilty - they didnt pay him, and either he appealed or something reversed or delayed the charges, he'd have a case that they tried to make him quit or that lawsuits - even the frivolous ones - are punitive.
So paying a guy while he's removed from duty pending an investigation is 99% shitty and also the least-worse thing to do at the same time.
My point is that they will investigate themselves and find no wrongdoing, and all that will come of it will be his paid vacation.
No he is ordered to undergo "additional training".
This is just a tiny slap, and he'll be back. Privileged people are privileged.
What you said is true, so is the comment you're responding to.
I appreciate the reputable source, thanks
Ironically, the shitty news bot reports it as 'left-leaning.' Reality bias, etc.
