Recused from that case, and any future involving boeing, yeah, sure, its probably not legally required under current law, but to eliminate the possibility of bias or perceived bias, sure, I'm 100% on board.
But there is no evidence, even circumstantial, presented in that article that this was malicious, or even that he could have reasonably profited from his role as judge here, given that he found out about the purchase and sold it so early in the case.
to be fair, in a better society, bumping him from being a judge to doing some other relevant job, wouldn't jeopardize his well being and standard of living (which is surely exorbitant now in capitalist USA), so I'd be more on board with it, but it still seems silly to fire a judge over such a simple oversight, easily corrected, in his wife's finances
that's the approach i'm taking, judges with unambiguous separation from all financial instruments is the only acceptable basis to have a judiciary in a society that has financial instruments. just soapboxing this case doesn't offend me particularly lol
disbarred? why?
