An article in the Chicago Tribune by Paul Carpenter discusses ethics charges brought against a Pennsylvania judge:

The future was looking bleak for [an] Allentown District Judge…judging from a front-page splash concerning a 33-page complaint against her — until you got to the story’s very last paragraph.

It was reported that [the judge] had been accused of all sorts of bad behavior on the bench. A complaint filed by the state Judicial Conduct Board said she was “nasty, rude, erratic, strange, bizarre, irrational, unpredictable, yelling, demeaning, babbling, rambling, nutty and crazy.”

Thursday’s story said the complaint also accused her of absenteeism, tardiness, of forcing a defendant to admit he was a “scumbag,” and of trying to arrest a woman merely for asserting her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.
