Oh, come on! Judges are expected to be dignified and exhibit self-control. I can tell you it’s not that hard, from experience. I’m not a judge, but I testified for seven HOURS in a civil case in which I was the plaintiff. The defense attorney tried to attack me on every front, but I never even FELT rattled. It’s not that hard to keep your cool and your dignity and treat an adversary with respect UNLESS you are prone to belligerent outbursts in the first place.
You are my new hero.
Now, tell us: Were you vilified in the press and media across the country? Did you have death threats against your family? Was your character savagely impugned? Did late night comedians treat you and your entire family with contempt? Was the room full of glaring and spiteful individuals? Was Alyssa Milano there death-staring at you? Were you accused of raping and possibly attempting to murder someone? Did you feel abandoned by many whom you assumed would come to your defence?
Civil case, you say? For six hours? On EVERY front?
Kavanaugh’s was NOT a “civil” trial, in every possible sense of the word.
I could say a whole lot more, but this is supposedly a “civil” forum, and my entire future is not hanging on a thread so I have absolutely nothing to lose by staying civil, but threaten my family and my life and “civil” is not what you will get.
Like I said, you are my new hero for your inflexibility, and your ability to “exhibit self-control” and the fact that you unabashedly promote your salient features through self-advertisement and aggrandizement.
When I need someone to stand with me against savage attack, please don’t be offended that my short list won’t include your name.
I will consider you, however, should I need to appear in a civil court. Clearly, I can count on you to remain unruffled and unravelled. That does count for something.
