Retired justice Anthony Kline, a former presiding justice of the California Court of Appeals, has written multiple opinion pieces defending San Francisco Superior Court judges Begert and Thompson against what he deems baseless and distorted claims. Kline criticizes the organizations promoting the judges' defeat, stating they sensationalize judicial conduct that he believes is above reproach. Kline's mentorship of Chesa Boudin, San Francisco's District Attorney, has raised questions about his bias in supporting the incumbent judges.
