I'm kind of on the middle of the fence on this one. I can see from both sides.
Thing is, there are probably 1,000,000 laws on the books, and he didn't write one of them. I don't see how following a bullshit law is his 'moral duty' or anything.

Well, OK then.
-------------------- You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

The judge should be disbarred as well. When you become a lawyer, you take an oath...You take another one when you become a judge...It's his moral duty because of those oaths.
This asshole broke both oaths, and is a disgrace to the profession and the bench.
This hypocrite has been sitting in judgment of people who are charged with doing exactly what he did. He should take his fucking life.

Does the oath say that you have to follow every law all of the time? Does it say you can never smoke weed? Why is this a big deal?

I don't think its a problem. He is a judge, its his job, what he does on his off time shouldn't be a concern unless he is hurting others.

If he had been arrested prior to being licensed...his licensed would have been denied..how is this any different?
See, for me it comes down to a simple question...You either mean what you say or you don't...If you want to smoke out in hotel rooms...that's fine...but don't promise not to..
It's like taking a vow to be faithful to your wife and then cheating on her...Either do what you say you're going to do, or don't say it...and if you break the vow, your marriage might just end...He broke his oath, so his license should be revoked...at least temporarily.
Courts have enough problems keeping credibility these days...this guy just undermines the legitimacy of the system.

Judges and lawmakers of traffic laws disobey speed signs and traffic laws too, should they not then be disbarred because they get a traffic ticket?Quote:

There is a difference, of course...traffic laws are strict liability laws...meaning you don't even have to know that you're doing it...One can accidentally break a strict liability law...one can't accidentally break drug possession laws..

I wasn't replying to you, I posted that before I was even aware you posted in this thread.
It was just a general reply to the original post.
Hope you don't think it was towards you
I do agree with you, though, people who lock people up for weed(or any drug)are scum to me. (regardless if they use drugs)

Yes, but they are even bigger scum if they use the drug themselves, whilst prosecuting others for it.
That's twice now me and you have had a little comment mix-up

That's ludicrous Alan. I cannot *believe* I'd read you type "He is a judge, it's his job."
His job is to harm non-violent people, every day.
At the end of the day he goes home and behaves in a way that he sentenced other people to punishment over.
Again, I can't believe you'd type that statement. And also YES they affirm oaths against committing crimes.
The Nazi running the concentration camp has a Jewish wife. Wtf?
