The case was initially assigned to Judge Payne, but he recused himself, and the case was reassigned to Judge Hudson.

Any thoughts on why he recused himself?

How are the judges chosen for these cases? Can we shop the complaint around in search of a more sympathetic ear?

That's good news. As long as it wasn't assigned to the Carter appointee, things could potentially look good on the trial level.
