It's sickening to hear of the story of the Tennessee judge whose tape recording of a potential torturing came to light to the public, that led to his resignation.
While it's outrageous to learn that this sicko remains for another two years on the bench dealing with cases on family and children since the tape was investigated by the police, it occurred to no one that this guy should be suspended or even removed as a result. It's only until now, two years later, when the tape got to the press (finally) that this sicko resigned.
What's even more shocking is, how as a judge who should know everything about a valid argument, that he would say, it has nothing to do with him or "his sin," but rather why or how the tape would get to the press. A judge is a judge. S/he needs to have the moral authority and integrity to deal with judicial issues. For this guy to have sick fantasy of torturing someone (anyone, anything) for pleasure, he has absolutely no place in the system, let alone being a judge. If he has had the integrity, he should have resigned without being asked to, given that he knows full well that what he does and thinks are wrong. To have done so (being asked to resign) under glaring light of the public brings the ultimate shame to this man who tries to hide behind his cloak in high order.
Disclosure, disclosure, disclosure. If we have sufficient disclosure, this guy would be rid of from the system long ago.
