Read it closely and see how this lawyer was "out of work" for threee years before being appointed as a judge. Umm. In my world out of work = unemployed. Why is an attorney who is not very old "out of work" and have little to no savings to pay for the ramifications of his selfish, irrational and well, dick-headed actions? I smell good old fashioned urban corruption... http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/06/25/AR2007062500443.html Here is a link to the article about the pants lawsuit.

Just because there are idiots who attempt to abuse the system does not mean the system is unworkable. Tulley's judge/pants guy lost his case and will be paying the dry cleaners' court fees, and I assume Bork's case will either be settled (for well under a million) or thrown out. These guys are idiots, enough said... Don’t throw a loaded term like tort reform into this… Just because there are idiots who attempt to abuse the system does not mean the system is unworkable.

This reminds me of another story I just saw in the news a couple of days ago, where a man, who was a lawyer and administrative law judge, tried to sue a drycleaning company (which I'm supposing to be a Mom and Pop type place) for $54 million, yes MILLION, dollars for losing a pair of his pants! If even lawyers and judges believe they can abuse the system what hope is there to have true tort reform in this country? Nice find Rudo.
