... is the worst example of judicial bias I've ever seen. Is there some complaint path? He needs to be removed.

What's wrong with him, other than what some might consider an unfortunate name?

[Steelharp]

He used to be a prosecuting attorney, and instead of being impartial and unemotional from the bench, he frequently interrogates the defendant/witnesses, and gets very "impassioned" as he wears his feelings on his sleeve... then slams attorneys for their emotion, when the call him on his interrogations.

 

Basically, he has no business being on a bench.

 Not against court rules for the judge to ask questions. I know how the Sumner Co. judges are they don't play but was it a criminal trial or a civil matter? Anyway here is the link to the TN Courts Board of Judiciary Conduct there is a link to the rules for judges and how to file a complaint if you read any rules he may have broke. http://www.tncourts.gov/court-judiciary

This is why I always vote 'replace' on the judge elections.  No point in giving someone a long term powder puff government job on my dime.  Most judges work part time but get full time pay and spend a lot of time trying to get elected again instead of working.  One term is enough and they can go out and work in their law practice full time.

  In the more populated counties like Davidson and Shelby there are several judges per General Sessions and Criminal Court but in Sumner County they have only 1 judge in General Sessions and 1 judge in Criminal Court so they are definately full time.

Those that that you get to vote "retain" or "replace" are state Supreme Court justices. Local judges have to run in local general elections.

I'm with you though, I always vote to "replace". It's lmy way of imposing term limits
