From Joyce Vance - a way to file a formal complaint against Emil Bove:
https://joycevance.substack.com/p/judicial-ethics
“According to The Judicial Conduct and Disability Act of 1980 … anyone can file a complaint about a federal judge. The Act establishes the process for making them. The Code of Conduct for federal judges says “a judge should refrain from political activity” and shouldn’t attend any events “sponsored by a political organization or candidate.” Judges are also charged with upholding the integrity and independence of the judiciary and avoiding impropriety and the appearance of impropriety in all activities….”
"ANY person can file a complaint" Seems perfect for Beans listeners.
