Calls into question his "judgement" doesnt it? It is a stupid lawsuit. He should be disbarred and have to pay these cleaners legal fee's because this is about as frivolous a lawsuit you are going to get.

Absolutely not, if you watch any of the court tv programs on tv, they all say a lawsuit is only to make you whole again, the same as when you had the pants, no better, no worse. I can imagine the heavy flow of crap coming the way of that idiot judge.

That is a total mockery of our judicial system. This makes this judge look like a thief and an opportunist. Maybe he is just trying to call attention to how ridiculous our court system has become. If so, he has certainly accomplished that.
