Good. I agree with his politics, but I don't want biased judges with terrible judgement.

It's a bit extreme of a rule since I doubt he was judging anything that had political influence, but you have to draw the line somewhere and if he doesn't stop after being warned then that's his choice that he needs to accept the consequences for. Weird you would have to remind a judge that actions have consequences too...
