Judge who linked to article saying Jews should get the f*** over the Holocaust is not anti-Semitic, panel rulesA judicial board in Tennessee cleared a judge who linked on social media to articles saying the Jews should get the f*** over the Holocaust of being anti-Semitic, racist and anti-immigrant.
Shelby County Criminal Court Judge Jim Lammey, who had also called Muslim immigrants foreign mud, was reprimanded by the Tennessee Board of Judicial Conduct for violating judicial codes by making partisan statements.
After a complete and thorough investigation and under the limited and specific facts of this case, the Board acknowledges that there is no proof that you made any statements that were anti-Semitic, racist, or anti-immigration, the board said in a letter dated Nov. 15, the news website Commercial Appeal reported. However, during the investigation it appears that some of your Facebook posts were partisan in nature, which is a clear violation of the Code of Judicial Conduct.
Lammey is required to complete an educational program addressing ethical issues and use of social media.

As I am originally from Shelby County, TN, I don't doubt this for a minute. So glad I moved away in 1979.
