'What #Socialmedia thinks' might be a concern of a politician but must not be the concern of judges. Social Media could've influenced #juries but a #judge mustn't be influenced by social media. Judges have to decide in accordance with the #law and not to go Argumentum #AdPopulum!
To every possible extent in an adversarial legal system, a judge should avoid passing remarks while hearing a case. The onus is on the prosecution/plaintiff to prove their case and it's not the duty of the judge.
A judge in an #adversarial #legal system must be like a blindfolded #LadyJustice with set a of scales⚖️ in her hands that bends towards the side of stronger evidence/argument. Remarks by a judge, in a #sub_judice matter, create perception about the #impartiality of the #judge.

Wait, does this make Trump anti-fa? Or?

Also, this is an #AdPopulum + #AmericanExceptionalism appeal. His people are the only good, patriotic Americans. All the rest are fascists. You know they're fascists by their "political correctness." ImageImage
I write about Trump attacking "political correctness" with ad populum in my book. It allowed his followers to participate in the pleasure of violating norms of decorum by talking the way Trump does.
He likes to attack people who try to "control" how he talks because he knows it's dangerous and he doesn't want to be controlled. An uncontrollable leader is a dangerous demagogue. Image

#AdPopulum #AdHominem

Also, told you he'd blame the media.
Anchoring to Lincoln (again) and pivoting to law & order.

Those are antithetical claims.
His Justices haven't really voted his way this week.
