1. “I write separately to note that my basis for denial of petitioner's motion is that there is no constitutional authority to assess costs against a judge. Subsection 2 of Const. 1963, art. 6, § 30 provides that "the supreme court may censure, suspend with or without salary, retire or remove a judge...." As I stated in my concurrence in In re Noecker, 472 Mich. 1, 18-19 , 691 N.W.2d 440 (2005), "Nothing in this constitutional provision gives this Court any authority to discipline the judge by assessing the judge the costs of the Judicial Tenure Commission proceedings against him or her." [ In re Trudel, 477 Mich. 1202, 1203 , 721 N.W.2d 181 (2006).]”
