snarpDad: I'm going to look at [judge he doesn't like]'s Facebook. Here, do you want to look?
Me: No. He shouldn't have a Facebook account, he's a judge.
Dad: No, he's got one! Look, I'll find it.
Me: He's not allowed to do that.
Dad: Hey! He doesn't have one!
Me: He's not supposed to be on Facebook! He's a judge!
Dad, disappointed: But he breaks rules all the time.
(In Kentucky, at least, judges aren't allowed to use social networking for personal stuff (though it's okay for campaigning). I think the rule is that they can set up an account, but they're not allowed to friend anyone, because it would look problematic if they friended one guy who's arguing in front of them but not the other. Even though the one guy only ever posts pictures of his My Little Pony collection and the judge never sees it because he only goes on there to play Bejeweled. I assume Pottermore is also off the table here.)
