It is one thing to be a judge with opinions, if you discuss them with the press during the trial those opinions are very likely to be considered bias.

Bias assumes prejudice. (An unfavorable opinion formed without reason.) Given the behavior of Gates and the MS attorneys, I would argue that Judge Jackson's statements were reasonable and logical.

His mistake was attempting to explain this to the population at large. (Heaven forbid that the judicial process might be so transparent that people actually understand it.)

I have to agree that the DoJ didn't seem to get it.
