Judge William Dato of San Diego, CA; cheerleader for judicial bigot

The State of California presented William Steven Dato with a law license in 1980 after he graduated from the University of Pacific McGeorge School of Law.

It should be noted that this isn’t the first time that Billy acted as a cheerleader/apologist for Judicial Misfits. To view a previous article about Billy’s conduct, visit the URL listed at the end of this article.

FYI: Former Gov. Gray Davis was duped into appointing Billy as a San Diego County Superior Court judge in 2003. In 2017, former Gov. Jerry Brown was duped into appointing Billy as a Fourth District Court of Appeal Judge. Billy didn’t receive the appointments because he was the most qualified attorney in the greater San Diego area. He received them because he had proven to be a reliable lackey for the local political hacks.

In one matter, Billy was a member of a judicial misconduct panel reviewing the conduct of Los Angeles Superior Court judge Michael J. O’Gara. The egregious misconduct involving Judge O’Gara can be found by viewing the URL at the end of this article.

Even though Judge O’Gara should have been tossed off the bench for his outrageous conduct, Billy voted to punish him by gifting him with a “private admonition.” This would have meant that O’Gara’s misconduct would have remained a secret and thereby concealed from the folks in the Los Angeles area that had an absolute right to be informed of said misconduct.

As we speak (ca. May 2022), Billy practices his so-called idea of jurisprudence as a Fourth District Court of Appeal Judge in San Diego, California.
