Those in authority need to be held accountable for abuses of the trust placed in them by us and should, when they so abuse it, be held to a higher standard than those not occupying positions of public trust.

This was a clear case of someone being disrespectful to the person and the position. The initial penalty was more than fair, and, I suggest to you, many a judge would consider this judge's actions lenient.

The apology was appropriate, order was restored and the end of civilization as we know it was averted.

I had no idea anarchy was so easily attained. Shocked, and embarrassed, at my own naivete. Not sure how I'll find the inner strengh to keep posting here...
