Supreme Court declines to reinstate suspended Pennsylvania judge

Original: Supreme Court declines to reinstate Pennsylvania judge suspended for Facebook posts praising Democrats Pennsylvania’s ju

The US Supreme Court has declined to reinstate Pennsylvania Judge Mark Cohen, who was suspended in 2024 by the state's judicial discipline board over dozens of Facebook posts praising Democrats, including former President Joe Biden and Governor Josh Shapiro. The decision leaves his suspension in place and is drawing attention to debates over judges' social media activity and political speech.

Why now: It touches on ongoing concerns about judicial neutrality and judges' political social media use in a heated US political climate.
