Investigation Launched After Texas Judge Wears 'Pussy Hat' in Court

A short investigation was launched after a Travis County judge wore a pink, knitted “pussy hat” in her courtroom late in January causing, some to doubt her impartiality from the bench.

Travis County Judge Sarah Eckhardt started her session on January 24 by putting on the pink knitted hat that has become associated with the Women’s March protests held the day after Donald J. Trump took the oath of office to become the 45th president of the United States.

The judge’s shocking partisanship was first noted by Reddit users and soon caused residents to quiz Texas authorities as to whether or not a sitting judge is allowed to wear partisan political paraphernalia on the bench.

Can we just take a minute to think about all this turmoil that has surrounded the election of Trump? Was it not the liberals who were screaming that Trump and his supporters must accept the outcome of the election? Weren't Trump supporters depicted as wild and violent throughout the entire election process? Now the most level headed people in this country seem to be Trump supporters. Funny how that works, isn't it? Can we imagine just for a minute that a judge who supported Donald Trump showed some type of solidarity with him while being in the courtroom. The outrage would be endless. It is just too funny how the liberals tell the Republicans they must play by the rules and accept this outcome, yet when the shoe is on the other foot they loot, riot, fight, and protest? The double standard is absurd. But Trump supporters are the problem in this country, right?

What kind of environment does this present to a person there for a fair shake in the court system? It sounds as though every decision she made from the bench while wearing that hat could be contested and, eventually, vacated for reason of prejudice. This is a job for the state bar association and the governor of Texas.

EVERY case that goes to her should be fought.

The fact that some no name girl from some no name place knits 50 hats and they try to label it a political movement should show that MSM manipulates EVERYTHING.
