In what will add even greater controversy to an already controversial case, U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman, 85, had been assigned to preside over the trial of Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan. Adelman has a history of injudicious and biased political commentary...
...Judge Adelman attacked Chief Justice Roberts as lying in his confirmation hearing and described Trump as "an autocrat" who is "disinclined to buck the wealthy individuals and corporations who control his party."...
...He was previously reversed and rebuked in a voter ID case after largely ignoring controlling precedent. For many conservatives, they may see little difference between the two judges in the case in terms of their demeanor and detachment.
...Judge Alderman's public commentary is another example of how extrajudicial statements undermine the judiciary. This history should not be added to a controversial case and raise questions over the objectivity and neutrality of the court. jonathanturley.org/2025/05/19/cou…
