Commission Administrator Robert H. Tembeckjian, who argued the case, issued a statement about the decision on Thursday.

“The courthouse is where threats or acts of gun violence should be resolved dispassionately, not generated irrationally.  It is indefensible and inimical to the role of a judge to brandish a loaded weapon in court, without provocation or justification, then brag about it repeatedly with irrelevant racial remarks.  The Court’s ruling today makes clear that there is no place on the bench for one who behaves this way.”
