THE ROBE DOES NOT PLACE A JUDGE BEYOND EXAMINATION, JUDGE WILLIAM JUNG! Krstafer Pinkerton

 

THE ROBE DOES NOT PLACE A JUDGE BEYOND EXAMINATION, JUDGE WILLIAM JUNG! 

Krstafer Pinkerton 

I wrote this somber Wild West courtroom ballad about standing before federal power with nothing but faith, a documented record, and the refusal to be intimidated.

In Pinkerton et al. v. Reinhardt et al., pending in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, I requested permission to file electronically. Judge William Jung denied that request.

The song asks a serious question:

How does that decision comport with the judicial obligation to administer justice impartially and promote public confidence in the courts?

One adverse ruling does not, by itself, prove corruption or legally establish judicial bias. But that does not place the ruling beyond public scrutiny. The decision created a disparity, yet the order did not meaningfully explain how denying electronic access served the principles governing judicial conduct.

The federal judicial oath requires judges to “administer justice without respect to persons” and to “do equal right to the poor and to the rich.” The Code of Conduct requires federal judges to perform their duties fairly, impartially, and diligently.

The strongest criticism is not that Judge Jung intentionally “obfuscated the judicial canons.” The defensible criticism is that his order obscured the analysis necessary to demonstrate that those canons were honored.

The robe does not place a judge beyond examination.

The gavel does not make every decision righteous.

Authority without explanation may close a filing portal, but it cannot close the historical record.

Isaiah warned against decrees that deprive people of justice. Psalm 82 commands earthly authorities to defend the weak and maintain the rights of the afflicted. Ecclesiastes reminds us that every official is watched by One higher still.

These scriptures are not threats. They are ancient reminders that every exercise of earthly power carries moral accountability.

This is testimony set to boot-stomp drums, mournful harmonica, courtroom thunder, and the lonely rhythm of a rider facing a hard trail.

You may control the courtroom.

You may control the docket.

You may deny the request.

But you do not control the truth, the appellate record, the judgment of history, or the judgment of God.

Let the docket preserve the ruling.

Let the people examine the reasoning.

Let history record what happened in that courtroom.

Evidence before allegiance.

This song is artistic expression, religious commentary, and criticism of official judicial action. Allegations remain allegations unless established through admissible evidence and lawful proceedings.
