Philadelphia Judge Suspended Over Political Facebook Posts

Judge Mark B. Cohen faces unpaid suspension for violating judicial conduct by posting political views on social media.

Judge Mark B. Cohen, a former Democratic state representative, has been suspended without pay for the last three months of his term.
The Court of Judicial Discipline found Cohen's Facebook posts violated standards by showing political bias, despite previous warnings.
Cohen plans to appeal the suspension to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, arguing for freedom of speech.
His social media activity included praise for President Biden and criticism of Republican figures, which was deemed partisan.
Cohen's judicial career will end on December 31 due to the state’s age limit for judges, as he is 75 years old.
