This article bothers me. I haven't read the "canons of judicial conduct," so I'm on weak footing here and I know it, but his removal for having "viewed" adult websites seems to me to be a severe abuse of power by the people that removed him. Even judges are entitled to private lives, and frankly, the absolute *last* thing I'd ever want to do is stand before a stressed out judge with no personal life.

If the article is accurate, the computer tech read his history. It said "viewing." Now, that might mean downloaded material, but the article reads more like the tech saw the history.

An elected official was removed not because there was a flaw found in the way he performed his job; not because the voters became dissatisfied with his performance and did the legal things required for a recall...he lost his job for indulging in perfectly legal behavior.

Now, if somewhere in the "canons" it says "thou shalt not view online porn while in chambers," fine. He broke a rule and judges are all about rules. But if what is being held up as being violated is one of those impossibly vague "role model" type statements...this is just flat out wrong.

I hope the judge has a pet civil lawyer who's turned loose on the computer tech for violation of privacy.

Damn, the stuff I'm reading on this board today makes me wants to go back to being an unpublished novelist. I didn't make any money but I wasn't this stressed. I didn't have to worry about having the FBI kick my door in searching for dangling participles.
