As I wrote in my blog, the state of Pennsylvania convicted Judge Melvin of felonies for using court personnel in her political election campaign.
I also wrote about a New York judge James C. Tormey who was NOT convicted (not even charged) for trying to engage a court employee, an attorney, in political espionage against a judge, a Democratic judicial candidate, for the benefit of the Republican party.
And you know why James C. Tormey was not investigated or prosecuted?
The District Attorney in his County was his law school roommate, and the New York State Attorney General was his attorney representing him in a civil lawsuit on the same issue.
Yet, I repeat the question to the powers-that-be - why is Judge Tormey still on the bench and when will he be prosecuted for what he did, the same way Judge Melvin in Pennsylvania was prosecuted?
If Judge Melvin is a felon for practically the same conduct - why James Tormey is not only still an attorney, but a judge, and a Chief Administrative Judge of the 5th Judicial District?
Is there any semblance to the rule of law, "nobody is above or below the law" principle in New York?
Does not appear that way to me.
