Robert Nix tries nixing Judge Correale Stevens' thoughts on immigration

From this:

A state appeals judge has been accused of violating judicial conduct rules for advocating changes in immigration law.

Superior Court Judge Correale Stevens "deliberately insinuated himself into the very middle of a high-profile, emotionally charged and highly divisive political debate on the issue of immigration reform," according to a complaint to the state Judicial Conduct Board...

...Stevens declined comment on the complaint Thursday, saying he had not been served with it, but defended the comments he made in September.

"What I spoke about is to encourage debate on the issue of illegal immigration as it affects the court system," he said...

The person who filed the complaint is Robert Nix, identified by the Associated Press only as a "Philadelphia attorney". Readers will not be surprised to learn that there's much more: he's also chairman of the Pennsylvania Hispanic Republicans, he's on the board of the Hispanic Bar Association of Pennsylvania, and he testified on the pro-illegal immigration side to the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission.
