‘Pussy Hat Judge’ Under Investigation for Lack of Impartiality

Judicial activism may be common on the nation’s Supreme Court, but not all circuits are as permissive when it comes to judicial bias. A Texan judge who wore a pink “pussy hat” in her courtroom learned that lesson the hard way last week.

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.

Local Austin TV station KVUE claimed that several county officials told them that Eckhardt didn’t break any rules other than that of propriety.

Eckhardt has been known as a liberal, activist judge in the past.

While nothing seems to have come from the investigation, this development is proof that leftist activism is rampant across the justice system. It’s not just the Supreme Court that has been compromised by liberal ideologues. The problem is relevant at every level.
