Good interview, Eric – thank you!
Here’s an idea: Run a credit check on Judge Randa. If he’s just paid a lot of overdue bills, then it’s time to look under the hood a little bit.

Randa’s the partisan who ruled that protecting abortion patients was unconstitutional. That was overturned at the Seventh Circuit. This will be, too.

So much to this case. The attorney who represents Scott Walker is Steven Biskupic. His wife was Judge Randa’s assistant.
Attorney Mike Maistelman, the state’s leading expert on campaign finance also pointed to another area that raises a red flag. According to Maistelman, Randa had twice scheduled sessions to hear the motions related to the case but cancelled both sessions. Then without hearing the arguments, Randa issued his arbitrary decision.

Randa was also appointed by Bush I.
According to local poster NCSteve, who I find to be a very credible source, the judge is not impeachable for his rulings, but are there any accountability mechanisms for federal judges, i.e., some review board that can reprimand him for his inappropriate extrajudicial utterances, or do we just have to suffer him in silence?
