The Trivia section here needs some attention--it states that Toby and Sam breaking the judge out of jail is an impeachable offense--who is this referring to? President Bartlet may be impeached, or the judge could possibly once he's on the bench, but Toby and Sam are not in any office wherein they could be "impeached." They would simply be arrested. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Duoraven (talk • contribs)

Judge's Culpability?

In my opinion, "in between the lines" there are *clear* implications made that the judge was indeed driving drunk. I realize that this is "open to interpretation" and that it is not stated overtly but I wonder if this possibility should at least be addressed. In my opinion, Aaron Sorkin has repeatedly shown a "Toby Zeigler-like" attitude about certain topics, as if he might say, "Oh COME ONNnnnn, of COURSE he was drunk!!!" "The West Wing" is not just about power, but the abuse of power, after all. How could they have possibly resisted the temptation to hint at an abuse of power, when the opportunity presented itself to them? Sorkin and company aren't ones to miss a clear opportunity to include some "social commentary" on "The West Wing." Just a thought. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.127.212.149 (talk) 05:10, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. The only thing that, in my opinion, supports the thesis that Mendoza was indeed drunk, is that they (Toby, Sam and Mendoza) try everything to make clear that he wasn't drunk. In fact Sam says that not only Mendoza doesn't drink at all ("I'm not saying he's not a heavy drinker, I'm saying he doesn't drink.") but also that he has a disease which makes it impossible for him to drink alcohol and live ("Well, you have a problem there. [...] If he’d had enough to drink to blow point one on the blood-alcohol, he’d be dead right now.") However I'd be interested in the implications you found. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.134.208.181 (talk) 18:44, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
