Talk about activist judges

A state panel has disciplined a judge who ordered cheers in court for the Super Bowl-bound Seattle Seahawks before issuing a manslaughter sentence.

Pierce County Superior Court Judge Beverly Grant asked about 100 people in court to say ''Go Seahawks'' before taking their seats on Feb. 3. Dissatisfied with the low volume of the response, she repeated the request.
