Canadian judge faces removal after outrageous remarks in rape case

CNN story here

Just really awful. Warning: graphic language.

From the article:

A judge in Canada is facing removal from the bench for his conduct when he asked a woman in a rape case why she couldn't "just keep [her] knees together."

Federal Court Judge Robin Camp is in the midst of a week-long judicial council hearing, which will determine whether he ought to be booted from his position.
