I remember a while back there was a conversation in one of the threads about a Judge named Sam Sparks who had written an order "inviting" two attorneys to a 'kindergarten day' where they could learn to be better lawyers because he was really tired of their crap.
I ran across another ruling of his recently, and I can only pray that someday, somehow, Orly ends up before him in US District Court in Eastern (I think) Texas. Here's a link to the .pdf:

Quote:
The Court has already turned down two extremely tempting offers to transform this case from a boring old federal lawsuit into an exciting, politically-charged media circus. As any competent attorney could have predicted, the Court declines the latest invitation as well.
However, the Court is forced to conclude [attorney name], the attorney whose signature appears on this motion, is anything but competent. A competent attorney would not have filed this motion in the first place; if he did, he certainly would not have attached exhibits that are both highly prejudicial and legally irrelevant; and if he foolishly did both thing, he surely would not be so unprofessional as to file such exhibits unsealed. A competent attorney who did those things would be deliberately disrespecting this Court and knowingly shirking is professional responsibilities, offenses for which he would be lucky to retain his bar card, much less and intact bank balance.
For [attorney's] sake, and because the Court has no time to hold a sanctions hearing - in part because it must take time out of deciding the actual legal issues in this case to address the self-serving entreaties of attention-seekers like [attorney]--the Court assumes [attorney] is as incompetent as he appears.
Any chance Mississippi could borrow him to fill in for Judge Coleman now that he's recused himself from Orly's case? That would just be SO epic! LOL
