Lambeth is probably one of the good guys, but this entire case has been as badly mismanaged as the Indian's money has been.
Glad I don't bank with the government!
I can just imagine, "Sir, we don't know exacly how much you have, it's complicated. Have a pen."
I believe it is justice. Lamberth has continually sided with this attempted scam of the American taxpayers. He has ordered computer shutdowns at the behest of the plaintiffs which have stopped payments to the very Indians at the core of this case. He has refused to consider every attempt to work with the plaintiffs by the Department of Interior. He has placed absurd requirements for record keeping on the defendants, and totally ignored any effort to actually estimate a total amount possibly owed to the plaintiffs.
He may be one of the good guys, but for years he has been acting as an advocate, not a judge. Good for the appeals court!
bffr
Perhaps we should sue for an accounting of our income tax money......
"By right of conquest".
Lamberth is a self-important jackass.
Just imagine making this sort of claim when the IRS audits you.

Federal Judge Royce Lamberth is best known for the ease with which he approved dozens of discovery motions that allowed fellow conservative Larry Klayman of Judicial Watch to dig into the public and private life of President Bill Clinton - Brief Article
He sure is.
How come Dubya didn't appoint him to the SCOTUS?
When a judge's finding is characterized as "abuse of discretion" it is a statement that basically no reasonable person would agree with him! I haven't followed this case but that is a real smackdown.
How?
