Legal for the judge to be involved in a business yes. Not ethical for the judge to make rulings about that business but that requires ethics and morals and thanks to Rs even the US Supreme Court doesn’t have that.
Below scotus level theoretically judges can censure other judges but idk that process.
and thanks to Rs even the US Supreme Court doesn’t have that.
This is why it’s so vital to vote. Trump nominated (and got elected) six of the seventeen Fifth Circuit members, the most of any president from Reagan onward for that particular court. GW Bush and Reagan nominated five combined.
The president we elect will get to essentially decide who gets to be in which federal court. So much is at stake, as the judiciary threatens to rot from the top down.
The 3 Supreme Court appointments Trump got (ACB, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch)in his one term was also just shy of Reagan’s 4 (william rehnquist to chief, Sandra day O’Connor, Antonin Scalia, and Anthony Kennedy). Bush jr replaced rehnquist and Sandra with current shitstains John Roberts, and Samuel Alito.
Worry about that later. There aren’t any consequences for this guy anymore, why should he fuss over legality? If shit gets real ugly just buy a president.
Valve did it first, but to be fair, they had a slightly wider net of just King County courts in general.
I fucking hate Musk, but its interesting to compare and contrast the responses here:
Valve: So amazing and pro-consumer, they got rid of forced arbitration!
Xitter: Is this even legal??
I mean, what Musk is doing is arguably much more insidious because his company isn’t actually in that courts district, while Valve is firmly in King County (Bellevue). Still, curious to see such strongly different responses.
is this legal in US? that sounds absurd.
and is it legal for a judge to be involved in business?

'member checks and balances? America sure doesn’t.
This is the US we’re talking about; if you’ve clicked the EULA, it’s probably legal for the X janitor to kill you and wear your face as a mask.
