I believe so.
We had a magistrate judge in my county who was ultimately removed from the bench because of a long history of behavior unbecoming a member of the bar…specifically calling defendants “welfare freeloaders who need to learn to keep their legs closed”, stuff like that. Charming fellow; when he died a number of attorneys I know attended the funeral “just to be sure the bastard really was dead”.
So I do know that judges don’t always comport themselves in a professional manner from the bench. However, the fact that the only source of the “angry women in bathrobes” quote is Nick makes me call BS.
It’s why we want to see the transcript.
