temperment

What is disturbing to me is not the appearance per se but the attempt to cloak it as a non-political statement on judicial temperment. If judicial temperment were really the concern of the U.S. Attorney's office, they would provide the Committee with a full picture. Every lawyer who practices in D.C. Superior Court knows there are judges whose judicial temperment cries out for investigation […] The nub of the matter is not Judge Halleck's judicial temperment but the United States Attorney's dislike of the legal rulings of the judge.
