Judge Robert Spitzer on the hot seat

Here's an article about a hearing before the Committee on Judicial Performance. Judge Spitzer is charged with several breaches of judicial conduct including (1) speaking with the family of a murder victim to encourage the family to seek from the prosecutor's lesser charges against the perpetrator; and (2) signing affidavits that no matters are more than 90 days old. Interestingly, in order to get paid, judges have to swear that they have no matters pending more than 90 days. Judge Spitzer admits he signed the declarations despite having several matters beyond the 90 day limit. He says that he is obsessive compulsive. The examiner who is bringing the charges states that the public needs Judge Spitzer removed because it will not have confidence in a judge who can't make a decision. Dear Readers, is this true? Or is the lack of confidence due to the execution of the affidavit when he did have several matters over 90 days old?
