Carney succeeded Virginia A. Phillips as Chief Judge of the Central District of California on June 1, 2020.[8] However, he stepped down on June 26, 2020 in light of allegations that he had made racially insensitive comments regarding the Clerk of the Court, Kiry Gray, who is African American. Carney referred to Gray as "street smart" and telling her "it was not like I was the police officer standing on your neck."[35][36][37] Carney apologized to Gray for the remark.
Demand that these fucking outlets don't get away with plainly saying "judge", with no additional qualifier, in the age of trump and the federalist society. A "judge" is now longer an impartial, qualified, thing that deserves the same universal recognition, respect and acknowledgment as it once may have.
The republicans have broken that pact with society, and no longer taking "judge" at face value is one of the consequences. Fucking puppet clown is a more appropriate title for these wholly corrupted, incompetent pseudo authorities.
