Judge Young, a Reagan appointee, taught my trial advocacy class in law school. He's a great guy. I will never forget his advice on the last day of class. He told us that lawyers tend to live their lives as an isolated class of like-minded people, out of touch with the realities of the lives of ordinary Americans. He admonished us to live well-rounded lives instead, associating ourselves with all types of ordinary people.
I remember getting chewed out by Judge Young for making an unprofessional statement during a mock trial in my class. As you might guess, it was not a pleasant experience. Of course, he was back to his usual self after the mock exercise was over.

This is why we need for GW to appoint as many Judges like Judge Young as he can in the next 6 years.
Isn't amazing how we remember a great learning experience from a great teacher like Judge Young for decades like your experience. Thanks for sharing this with us:

And you, Mr Reid, have been judged by this court.
When you die, alone, in prison, from the knife of a different sort of criminal, THEN YOU will be judged by the Allmighty G*d.
WTF?? What the hell else would he be doing with shoes full of plastic explosive -- trying to break Michael Jordan's high-jump record?
