Because we are an amatuer detective, much like Detective Monk on TV, here is what we can deduce:
1) Our commentor is single and does not work very hard, as he or she is up at 11pm. Most people with kids are exhausted by then and asleep. But our commentor is busy surfing the web.
2) Our commentor is a fan of the poet ee . cummings, who was famous for not capitalizing.
3) Our commentor has latent hostility towards our fair and learned judiciary. Our commentor is frustrated that more of our learned judiciary does not get opposition. Our commentor doesn't like Judges who are smug because no one runs against them.
4) Our commentor forget to take their Wellbutrin this week.

You see folks, this is truly what this site should be. As attorneys, we cannot bite the hand that incarcerates our clients, and the bar poll just isn't frequent enough for us to release our frustrations in private. (hmm.. there are some very latent masturbatory themes underlying what we just wrote. Well, they say you should only write about things you know very well.)

Anyway, without being too vicious- like saying a judge has a big nose, etc., or getting too personal about matters that should remain private, this site is a great way for attorneys to vent that Judge so and so thinks its ok to show up for a 9AM trial calendar at 10:30, (not to pick on our learned and respected Judges from the Isle of Cuba or anything) and we would like more people to use this site as a way to let Judges know what they think could be done better. We have it from some very good eavesdropping that we did this week that a few of our robed friends truly get a chuckle from this site and visit often.

Those Judges not suffering from an incurable case of "robe-itis" will take the good criticisms to heart, and the other Judges will demand the FDLE issue subpoenas for this site. And by the way folks, if for one second you think we're gonna go sit in DCJ to protect a source like Judy Miller formerly of the NY Times did when she sat on Scooter Libby spilling the beans on Valerie Flame, you have another thing comming. We have enough problems with clients confessing all sorts of crap that we just don't want to know.

Also, if any of our Robe wearing readers want to comment that attorney XYZ from Dewey Cheatum and Howe is an unprepared mope who dresses badly, speaks poor english, and needs notes just to arraign someone, we'd love to hear about it.

Subject to any pressure (as we crack easily under questioning) we will keep your identity private. No, really, if any Judge emailed or left a comment anonymously, we would keep your identity private.

Finally, if any of our Judges would want to break the black wall of silence and comment about their fellow members of the bench...well, that would make our day. We can promise you the full Alan Postman treatment: Dinner at Joes or Mortons (Or both!!!) all expenses paid, naturally, and a star in our soon to be announced hall of fame.
