No, but they should ditch those friends on social media sites once they become judges. Judges should be held to a higher level of accountability than others when it comes the propriety of relationships on social networks.

He said "on social networks."

That's a reasonable request. It's better that it comes up now, rather than after the trial on appeal as a reason to reverse a conviction.

The reality is that most Judges used to be prosecutors or public defenders, and so the likelihood that a Judge is friends with a prosecutor is VERY high.

yep, very true. my grandmother-in-law is old school Texas German, most of their family was from Muenster and Comfort. Texas German will go to the grave with her in my wife's family, no one else learned it. the word that always made me smile was Stinkkatze for skunk.

So, but when are we going to talk about the harassment Suey Park has faced after this?

So... while the hashtag was a bit over-the-top (and clearly designed to stir the pot), she has a legitimate point.

I love Dirk so much, as does the rest of Dallas. Just listen to how everyone goes NUTS for the guy.

I believe a Twitter user is called a Twat.

Meanwhile, the point: that the tweet about the Redskin Foundation started on behalf of Native Americans is still not what's in the news.

Yeah I watched the HuffPo interview, and I didn't really like how they chopped Suey off as she was trying to make a point.

....Satire.......she has no point because she used a useless platform and useless cause against satire. It's like fox news taking issues from colbert seriously, it's irony, but stupid if taken seriously.

Or if it was based on actual racism.

Maybe the whole "protest" would have gone down better if they went with a less histrionic hashtag.

So Pee Wee Herman was right. If you want to confirm you're in Texas just shout out "The stars at night are big and bright...."

Sadly, German Texas is a dying language.

I cannot promote this comment enough. I find this whole "controversy" beyond exhausting. Liberal Internet Outrage (TM) is calling for the cancellation of a brilliant show BY SOMEONE ON THEIR SIDE. Someone who's on the same network as Tosh.0 of "wouldn't it be funny if you were raped" fame, who would probably just be…

You don't understand things all that well do you? If you have a legitimate learning disability I apologize, but if not....

fake outrage is still fake.
