No, it is about prejudicial behavior by a very obviously biased judge who should have recused himself. That he engaged other equally clearly biased judges to pile on makes it worse.
Kaplan should be impeached and removed. Whatever this guy did, he is just one guy. Kaplan is wielding and abusing the power of the US govt. That is always worse than anything an individual can do.
- _23sd 4y agoI don't think I disagree with you, was just trying to provide additional context on the arbitration decision and why it doesn't necessarily prove the Ecuador verdicts were fraudulent. From what I've read, some of the people defending Kaplan's behavior think that Donziger deserves to be treated dismissively for making supposedly unreasonable demands of the court, which is sometimes a type of argument I'm sympathetic to when reading about vexatious litigants, but Kaplan has been a lot more than just dismissive and has taken it a lot further than what I'd be comfortable with even for someone who was indisputably acting in bad faith (and it seems quite possible that Donziger is not only acting in good faith, but actually in the right).
