Tell the judge to stick it - he should have recused himself for the blatant conflict of interest.

Not necessarily. He did acknowledge the conflict of interest. The problem is, there is not a judge that could rule on the issue.

Here's the problem. Starting first-year associates at the big law firms make double or triple what a judge makes now. What does that do to the profession when a kid fresh out of law school makes more than the person who decides his case?
