  1. Wait, so you’re telling me that a Republican judge in Texas is behaving in a manner that is both biased and unethical? What an unexpected turn of events!

  2. > In August, O’Connor did recuse himself on a separate Musk case against the World Federation of Advertisers. The judge is an investor in Unilever, one of the defendants in the case.

    > But he did not step aside from the Media Matters lawsuit.

    So, he’s not following his own precedent.

  3. Why is it so hard to get impeachment proceedings going against judges? We need to start actually doing it. Even if it ultimately isn’t successful it will make others think twice.

    It says “Texas” right in the headline, and this should surprise no one. There’s a reason RWers like to go to court in Texas.

  5. A crooked member of the “judicial system”? In Texas? Color me shocked, shocked I tell you.

  6. Any regular guy, sure…. But this is a judge. He spent his whole life studying and enforcing the laws. This is ridiculous.
