Judge loses his job for being rude (case office time court don)
This will be a relief for the people that otherwise would come before
that judge.
However, if he would have being rude to normal people, not officials
and lawyers as in this case, he would have likely come away with it. I
bet he was lots of time rude to the other people that came before him.
But what is still more important is to remove those judges from the
benches that make up their own little corrupt laws and don't stick to
the U.S. Constitution and other laws that apply to the individual
cases.

Judge Loses His Job For Being Rude
County Official Tells Public Defender To 'Lose His Accent'
LOS ANGELES -- A Contra Costa County judge has become the first
California judge in recent years to lose his job because of rudeness.
The Supreme Court unanimously turned down a request by Superior Court
judge Bruce Van Voorhis to reconsider the decision to remove him from
office.
The Commission on Judicial Performance ordered his removal after
finding 11 acts of misconduct between June 1999 and December 2000.
They included telling a public defender to "lose his accent," ruling
against a rookie prosecutor to see how she handled it and throwing a
stack of files at a court clerk.
The 54-year old Van Voorhis has been suspended with pay since the
order.
The former Alameda County prosecutor was elected to the bench in 1986
and re-elected in 1992 and 1998.
