THE FEDERAL JUDICIARY NEEDS MORE DISCIPLINE: After More Than Three Years, Judge Newman’s Case Is Transferred To The Eleventh Circuit: The case was only transferred after Chief Judge Moore extended Newman’s suspension for another year. “Indeed, there is a parallel between Chief Judge Moore and Judge Southwick. Both judges care very much about who sits on their court and they seek to use their own judicial power to control who sits on the court. The judicial ethics mavens apparently see nothing wrong with either of their conduct, but I do. And for what it’s worth, Judge Newman could have hand-picked her successor a long time ago, but has made the moral choice to serve until she can serve no longer.”

Full disclosure: Judge Newman is represented by the NCLA, on whose board I serve.

WHAT A BACKDROP FOR THIS SPEECH:

HE WILL NOT BE MISSED: James Talarico’s Campaign Goes Dark With Just 28 Days Until Election Day. “Talarico has not been seen publicly in Texas in over a week, with his last appearance occurring on Saturday, September 26, before he took a fundraising trip to New York City. There, he was treated to a VIP fundraising dinner where attendees, like a filmmaker who labeled America a ‘shithole’ and a group that advocates for child sex change surgeries, were charged $27,000 a plate.”

THE ENEMY WITHIN:

JOHN RINGO: “As the guy who writes plague books… Relax. Don’t let the MSM stampede you again.”

DEMOCRATS SHOULD DO OPPO RESEARCH IN PRIMARIES:

HAHA, WINNER INDEED.

UPDATE (From Ed):

OPEN THREAD: Tuesday’s groovy.

WHAT, THEY RAN OUT OF KANGAROOS FOR THEIR COURT?
