While nothing herein should be construed as restricting constitutional and statutory free speech rights, judges must exercise extreme caution when engaging in political discourse on matters that may come before the Court or that undermine the objectivity and impartiality of the Courts. Judges should consider refraining from political statements or actions which could be interpreted in the Tribal community as supporting any political position except those that promote self-determination, self-governance and the furtherance of justice. This consideration does not include objective statements of existing law, statements of facts that are public knowledge or activities of electoral politics at other tribal, county, state, or national levels.
