New allegations of misconduct against the judge in the ninth Circuit Court of appeals based in San Francisco. 6 former clerks and staffers have accused judge Alex Kozinski of inappropriate behavior. Two women telling the Washington Post that several years ago while they were working as clerks the judge showed them pornography on a computer unrelated to their work. They did not file complaints at the time. We spoke with the dean of the usf law school who said that the judge could face formal consequences including impeachment. With the tempo of the times these days in the very seriousness of this, this could very well impinge upon this judges ability to hear cases because litigants can challenge this judge or any judge for misconduct or for being biased.

He was appointed by president reagan for the lifetime seat. Its up to congress to either impeach and remove federal judges from office. By the way, that rarely happens.

We have another spare the air day. Spare the air and the possibility of some of that smoke drifting from Southern California into the bay area. For some you are thinking, how does that happen . I will explain a couple of things. High pressure is in control of our weather pattern. That ridge is pushing the stormtrac to the north. The clouds go that direction. No rain in sight. Not only for the weekend but beyond. High pressure bringing us in unseasonably mild day. Its also bringing us a little bit of smoke drift. That has to do with circulation around the High Pressure and the upper level wind. This graphic shows you how the wind circulates around the High Pressure and takes that smoke from Southern California and pushing it toward the pacific and back around into the bay area. That is why we have seen a little bit of the draft come our way and we are likely to get it for the weekend.
