(3,344 posts)It is good to keep these charges in the news. Just keep in mind he can only be removed by impeachment.

(58,785 posts)looked more but just assumed they'd still be sitting on it. Google often makes me suspect judicial decisions are stored in some distant, dusty electronic basement and it doesn't want to have to go down and search through the boxes to find them. Or maybe I just don't know the right search terms.
So, dismissal. The cowards' way out and/or inadequately principled?

(58,785 posts)Although a partial decision might have been released, for political reasons perhaps, the usual practice would apparently suggest it's over.
Notably, those complaints didn't relate to his judicial conduct over 12 years on the bench. From what we've seen of him, it's hard to believe his record is honorable. He's both an under-principled political operative and apparently the type who's internalized decades of bizarre Clinton-conspiracy stories. (!)

(58,785 posts)I read an opinion that it was unlikely to turn into anything significant, with dismissal or a slap on the hand. Apparently the complaints would apply to his conduct as a circuit court judge and might be considered basically "sweep under the rug-able," i.e., lack jurisdiction once he'd moved to SCOTUS.
Forbes had an article suggesting 4 possible outcomes, the first giving an argument against that.

Are these ethics complaints grounds for impeachment or will they merely result in an asterisk ?
After reading the comments I'll quote Emily Litella, "Never Mind".
