    The Ontario Judicial Council said Tuesday that the conduct of Justice Bernd Zabel warrants the most serious reprimand possible short of removing him from the bench.

    The council said the hat incident was an “inexplicable act of judicial misconduct” from an otherwise respected judge.

    Zabel will be suspended for 30 days. He has not been assigned cases since January.

    Zabel at his hearing last month that he meant to lighten the mood by wearing the Trump cap when he walked into the court on Nov. 9, 2016 — the day after Trump won the U.S. election.

    Zabel’s action prompted 81 complaints.

    If chas v’sholom Hillary would have won and he came in with a hat with her name on it, he would have probably been promoted to the Canadian Supreme Court.

    What is wrong with wearing a Trump hat? Maybe he likes the hat? ??????
