THE ROBING ROOM

Tends to go easy on plaintiffs during discovery, but puts everyone's feet to the fire when it comes time to settle. He is just as good, if not better, than 1/3 of the district judges and probably should have been elevated to an Article III years ago. He is certainly more qualified than Der-Yeghyian (John Ashcroft's most long-term and direct assault on the federal judiciary, in my opinion). He handled that terrorism funding case where the family of the terror victim got that multi-million dollar judgment against Hamas.
