Washington | Australian shipbuilder Austal could be barred from bidding on future US government contracts after current and former executives at the company’s American arm were charged with misleading shareholders and investors.

......on occasion, over past decades, in one of my many civil litigation cases, I’ve had a problem with a judge. I don’t know about state courts in New York but in Texas there is what’s known as a presiding judge. Basically, he/she supervises the judges in that particular courthouse.

Several times over the years, I had a valid problem with one. For example I got one mandamused by the Texas Supreme Court. When he didn’t voluntarily remove himself from a subsequent case, we went to the presiding judge. He installed a new judge in the case.

Hopefully, this judge in Trumps trial will, similarly, get replaced.
