5 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Conduct such as this may have the effect of entrenching a Commissioner in a position which he has publicly stated, making it difficult, if not impossible, for him to reach a different conclusion in the event he deems it necessary to do so after consideration of the record. There is a marked difference between the issuance of a press release which states that the Commission has filed a complaint because it has ‘reason to believe’ that there have been violations, and statements by a Commissioner after an appeal has been filed which give the appearance that he has already prejudged the case and will move in predestined grooves.”
