A Utah judge has been suspended for six months without pay after he made a series of critical statements about President Donald Trump online and in his courtroom over the past few years.Kwan, who has served as a justice court judge in Taylorsville for 20 years, was cited for “improper use of judicial authority and his inappropriate political commentary,” the latter often involving President Trump.
Almost a month after Trump’s inauguration, Kwan said “welcome to the beginning of the fascist takeover” and questioned whether Congressional Republicans would be “the American Reichstag,” this time referring to the political body of Nazi Germany. The court ruling also noted a moment in court that demonstrated the judge’s political leanings and views of the president.
Crazy they suspended him but yet Dump still ruining America. Jesus Christ please hurry up and come back.
This is not Russia we do have freedom of speech. He should be allowed his opinion
And there goes 1A
Do you blame him? 45 is an embarrassment...🙀
Supposed to be jurisprudence, not jury-rigged.
He must watch NBC. Grossly uninformed.
Freedom of speech much?
Good
In Romney country, only Mitt can criticize the man who humiliated him
Oh, but y’all won’t do anything with the one in the WH and how he talks bad and nasty about others. And this is just why we are still in the MESS.
Sounds like a stellar fellar to me.
Why, believe he also has free speech.
Yet judges are not being suspended without pay for sentencing POC to much harsher sentences for the same crimes as random white people? Nor are they being suspended for not sentencing white people to harsher sentences for their crimes 🤔
Fair. Now,where is Trump's suspension or the same conduct?
Semper Fi to the constitution. A judge should show no politics on the bench. Probably sent people to jail for Maga hats no hearing. His mind was made up when they walked in the court room. Not that they should be wearing hats either. allenemiesforeignanddomestic
When is Trump going to be suspended for derogatory comments about Judges?
That’s rather dictator-ish, no?
Oh
KenPicciuto He should be fired.
The 1st Amendment applies to Everyone, The Judge has the right to express his opinion. You may disagree with it, but it is still his Right
judicialactivism has got to stop. Removing this judge is a step in the right direction. A judge must be independent and must interpret the law, not make the law. MAGA AmericaFirst judicialoverreach
Well. Maybe he can get a job as a rodeo clown. Ya know since The guy was banned for life had the when he wore a mask about Mulatto right?
Well so much for freedom of speech. All those griping about conservative pages being shut down, will suddenly say this is the right thing to do.. Well this is what he'll in a handbasket looks like
Chickasee Go figure, a DEMOCRAT. MAGA
Fair enough, now suspend the president for obstruction of justice.
Give him the Profile of Courage Award.
But the President can say anything about anyone, true or slanderous and that’s okay.
No kidding? donaldtrump retains bullying people! Ugh? Stupid Utah!
thought the judiciary was independent?
Should've been given a promotion.
Nice. Anti trumpers have to grow up sometime.
Alternative headline :”Judge Michael Kwan admitted that he had violated the Utah Code of Judicial Conduct on a number of occasions”. WAPO is crap. walkaway
Мнение стороннего о структуре, обладающей властными полномочиями: 'свинья, она и в Африке свинья'
So the President can go online and say anything but a judge can’t.
The black robed rags
SO. Just so we're clear.... The POTUS can travel to Japan, downplay the test firing of rockets from a historically hostile nation, and in the same sentence, side wholly with KJI in a roast session of a former VP and private US citizen. No go on bad mouthing agent orange though.
I guess speech ain’t so free anymore.
PeopleMakeNews YES! PUTIN'S SUGGESTION! NO WITCH HUNT JUDGES!! BAD!
He?
tell that judge to get his job back and he can say what he wants this is U.S.A. trump had his hand in this
Can the same be done to Trump for criticizing judges, politicians and people in general?
Trump Derangement Syndrome has no place in the courtroom.
I would want this if it was Obama. So fair is fair.
