, Your quote from the Canon of Judicial Ethics is selective.

. Ted Shemia in that it ignores many other of the code requirements for I ^g,5a,'dd'",,,,

3, members of the judiciary. For example, immediately after Ronnt 5n, der the admonition you cited regarding public comment, there T** T**""5 appears this additional sentence. "This sub-section does not prohibit judges from making public statements in the

^"7a/n"*

. C"""*E" course of their official duties or from explaining for public

%=nmer Kennch Lavane information the procedures of the court".

Assemblyman Paul Hasenberg -

Legniator Gregory Blass tes,oa wasne pro peci A complete reading of the code moreover, reveals requirements Supuuer Jud:th Hope Compelling a judge to act to " uphold the integrity ard i in-

'",'"i""a",'"'""' dependence of the judiciary". Canon 1 says: "An independent

Canon 2A says: "A judge should respect and comply I,""."m'*a"n 4.w m w','eiham B,anchi With the Jr.law and should conduct himself at all times in a Aiw-w, man Roben Garraer Atwmblyman Pairsk Halpin manner that promtoes public co,nfidence in the integrity and Anemmman John Behan impartiality of the judiciary .
