Comment on Can a judge sue a defendant for slander/libel?

I’m guessing that would give the defendant ground to appeal the case because the judge was biased by the alleged libel.

Is it that easy to make your judges ‘biased’ LOL? Where is that?

Judges hate this this one trick. Call them rude words then they can’t convict you because that would make them biased!

No it is not. You can appeal if the judge was biased before he was assigned the case. After he takes the case if he becomes “biased” because you called him names and defamed him…no. If you could, every defendant would try to piss off the judge so that they could win on appeal because s/he was biased during the trial.

What if the judge loses the libel case? The defendant could then argue the “unfounded” libel charge was symptomatic of a preexisting bias.

Then you should look for stronger insults LOL
No. There is nothing to it. Real lawyers and judges have heard it before, and better.
