    Meanwhile, the $54 million pants judge still has a job

    On this precedent, the judge who sued his dry cleaners for a rediculous sum is still at work. But this ought to help as a precendent..

    Em...

    ... Didn't a judge organise a party in her court room when a man who skipped bail was finally brought back? Isn't it worse?

    I'm sure he didn't mean it

    Judges tend to be on the prosecutors team

    most of the time only occaisionally will they

    kick them really hard for being unprepared.

    It's not right to judge a person based on a single sentence. But doesn't this man sound like a zany, ker-a-zee, laugh-a-minute funmaker? The absolute life and soul of any party, spreading smiles wherever he roams?

    So who's the bigger idiot?

    The one who attempts a joke about a man who is clearly an idiot, or the one who is too stupid to see that it's a joke?

    What happens in vegas stays in vegas

    Oh wait he lives in vegas. But a side note if anyone has ever been to vegas they know that North Vegas is pretty much the ghetto. Also he's 34 probably still green an attorney or judge. If being a substitute judge is the same as a teacher all he is doing is just minding the court will the real judges are out on vacation, sickness, etc....

    But what did he do wrong?

    You've said he was sacked, you've said he claimed to like kicking prosecutors (who doesn't?) - what you haven't done is explain why he was fired.. and yes, this chap sounds like the life and soul of any good party.. I mean what a joker.. he says things that are funny for gods sake, what more do you want?? Examples?? No doubt he had a really neat dream last night too.
