So you have issues with his wealth of experience and his age?

The Asian food joke is not racial or at least it certainly didn't come off that way to me. It's about the distance the food would have had to travel and then it sat in port due to the backlog. My paternal grandmother used the term "colored people" her whole life because that's what she grew up with. The woman didn't have a racist bone in her body. If the ADA was a veteran would you have taken issue with the applause for veterans? I probably wouldn't have done it myself, but it's not a big deal and I don't see how it would be prejudicial.
Quote:As a casual observer of this case I just shudder at the thought of my life being in the hands of someone like this. How many trials would a person have gone through being a judge for all those years? Relationships with lawyers developed. Special deals cut for some. Total disregard for other people he doesn’t care for.
Wow, you're gleaning a lot of information that I don't think exists. The judge has a stellar record as a bench officer. Did you read the article on the judge I posted earlier in this thread? It contained statements from attorneys that related how fair and consistent he is. He's had literally one case overturned on appeal, this is very impressive. A lot of your reticence as stated here are 100% pure conjecture and speculation. Would you rather have a bench officer who was just appointed yesterday? I sure as hell wouldn't.

So no one should be a judge for longer than how many years in your opinion? At what point, in your opinion, does experience change from being a positive to a negative factor?
One last question, do you find any fault with the prosecutor's handling of this case?
