Judges Say the Darndest Things...

Judges sometimes have a penchant for the dramatic. And sometimes they seem to be a little bit angry. But I suppose this is with good reason, they are supposed to be very wise, and they often have a way with words. Here are some of my favorite Judge quotes and phrases, typically recorded in real cases thus far:

"Braggadocio of a Badass"

"Plaintiff's counsel, apparently laboring under the impression that I am not dealing with a full deck and that my knowledge of diversity requirements is about equal to that of a low-grade moron..." -Judge Lord

"...I can hardly expect any more from a counsel whose familiarity with Title 28 U.S.C. 1332 could be no more than a friendly wave from a distance visible only through a powerful telescope." -Judge Lord

The court has, "no obligation to lead counsel through a jurisdictional paint-by-numbers scheme."
