Federal Court Justice Robin Camp, dubbed the "knees together judge," should be removed from the bench, Canada's judicial watchdog has recommended. In a ruling announced Thursday afternoon, the Canadian Judicial Council (CJC) said that at a 2014 sexual assault trial he was presiding over, Camp "showed obvious disdain for some of the characteristics of the regime enacted by Parliament in respect of sexual assault issues." Votes in both the Commons and the Senate are required to removed a federal judge. The judge apologized several times for those comments, underwent counselling and took additional training on Canada's sexual assault laws. Camp then asked the Federal Court to stop the judicial council from deliberating his fate and to review an earlier decision he be dismissed.
