Sound to me like she won’t be able to shut her mouth and actually listen to the merits of the case, a la Thomas.

“Counsel, we’re not suggesting that unqualified people be hired,” she said with an air of exasperation later in the argument. (Listen here).

No, but you're ruling that qualified people not be hired because of their race.

Buh-bye

Being a tough-talking cookie on the bench is one thing (maybe the only thing) I won’t fault her for.

I had the opportunity during a law school field trip to watch the legendary Judge Ellen Morphonios in action. Her obit is a good read, if you’re not familiar with her. More judges should take this straight-talking attitude, and not take any crap from attorneys, plaintiffs, defendants, or witnesses.

Was she drugged during the hearings? She sure sounded like it. New Yorkers don’t talk like that unless there is a problem of some kind.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Does anyone else think that she looks, acts and sounds like Roseanne Barr?

[PghBaldy]

Why do things like this come out AFTER the hearings are over?

“Counsel, we’re not suggesting that unqualified people be hired,” she said with an air of exasperation later in the argument.

I find the use of the term "we're" quite interesting. One would assume that the judge would not be advocating a side during oral arguments.
