   Thanks for posting the full-text. This has been kicking around the legal community for a few days, because it is so, so extraordinary. Judges just don’t do this.

   I feel extremely pessimistic that Levine will even be forced to retire, much less that he will be tried for violations of the rules of judicial conduct.

   Unfortunately, what I see, is that the rule of law and the faith of the common person that their case will be heard fairly just keep taking a beating. Of course, the conduct is nothing new — it’s the drumbeat of revelations that seems to be growing.
