Yes. It is sexist and overreaching in authority for a judge to comment on that. However eye roll-inducing it is, there's no legal issue to it. I think lots of judges are guilty of this, making comments about peoples' clothing in court, etc. It's as if people are being formally judged on class. Until computers are…
