Judge who wore a "Make America Great Again" hat into the courtroom is banned

[TITAN308]

Good call, there is a reason judges should only wear a simple black robe.

[primalmatter]

wait so left is right and right is left?

At the far end the two are identical to be honest.

Supposedly in Ontario, but includes this quote:

“Brief appearance with the hat. Pissed off the rest of the judges because they all voted for Hillary..."

Something's fishy.

FYI, he got suspended for publicly exhibiting a biased position on duty.

Same thing if he wore a "I'm with Her" cap or anything, it would've been the same consequences. It's one thing to discuss with colleagues and another to go against the rules.

well but I haven't heard anything about anyone being banned at all for wearing a Hillary Clinton cap.
So it must mean they really dislike trump.

Doesn't seem like a big deal, judges are not typically allowed to show personal political opinions whilst on duty, im sure the same would have happened if it was an item of clothing with other political slogans on.

yeah they both hate the government and destroy stuff. it is really annoying.

I wish the lefties would stop burning cars from normal people. Cars are expensive -.-

Oh ok. What's fishy mate?

Poor Canadians firing each other over hats.

One could only imagine what would've happened if he wore a hat that stated: "There are only 2 genders."
Canada would be in a state of emergency with parents rushing to schools to bring their kids home.

This is Canada, which is ruled by the so-called "liberals" -- who aren't really liberal at all, as we can see every day. Your average leftist liberal is in reality a nazi-grade fascist and a totalitarist who desecrates the whole meaning of the word "liberal".

Umm no the average leftist is not a nazi grade fascist.

[Teebone]

We really should go back to requiring judges to wear ridiculous wigs.

Now there's something I support!

It's entirely normal for there to be a ton of rules pertaining to judicial conduct in order to maintain a reasonable standard of impartiality.

Impartial to other countries politics which in no way reflect the law system they're adjudicating? That doesn't make much sense.

[mittacc]

I, for once, agree with tennisace....never thought I would type that. Courtrooms should appear as non-biased as possible and the ones working there as well.

Judge are not allowed to not wear their uniform on duty anyway. Judges arent McDonald clerk, with the kind of career you need to be a judge...not knowing any better is not an excuse.

They arent allowed political statement or any kind of lobbying in the courtroom to begin with. He would face the same sanction if he went on duty with a pro abortion shirt or a religious symbol.

[ControlWarrior]

Good. Judges should be impartial.

Hahaha... oh wait, you were being serious.

"Someone wore a hat that triggered me. He better lose his job and have his life ruined to calm me down!!!"
People compare the liberal movement with 1984, but I am much more inclined to compare it to Brave New World: Sedated people who seek pleasure and orgy porkies and who screech and cling to their Soma drug whenever they have to doubt, question things, feel uncomfortable or someone confronts them.

The neo-liberals bow down to crypto-fascism and are mentally unable to question their own movement because that would trigger heavy cognitive-dissonance.

So it must mean they really dislike trump.

If a lawyer shows up with jeans and tshirt to an official court proceeding they WILL be reprimanded, there's a reason for this.

Court, judges, and the bodies functioning in one are held to a much higher standard, their uniforms are highly symbolic of that standard, if they don't adhere to their own standards then why should people adhere to their judgement or the law they represent? A judge is supposed to be blind and unbiased, anything that might suggest otherwise undermines their interpretation of the law and the law itself.

I just think a bright red cap is just more easy to spot.

How does any of that garbage has to do with judge breaking their own rules when it comes to uniform? That rule is over a century old.

Judge would be turned out and face the same sanction if he had a Nike cap on duty.

Maybe because it hasn't happened?

Sounds like the Canada I love. We have standards for our judiciary.
