I prefer that judges have as little discretion and are as predictable and methodical as possible. That way, I can tell my clients what will happen at court and they can plan their lives accordingly. It takes much blood, sweat, tears and money to litigate. It is very undesirable when court outcomes seem determined by what the judge had for breakfast or when my clients are bushwhacked by an adverse ruling.
If RBGs judicial philosophy is set in stone, that is a very good thing, unless it is a bad philosophy, which is a different issue. For we are a nation of laws and not men. Another bad judicial event is when a court stretches facts or law to achieve a desired outcome. That is, courts can reverse engineer a case.
I never read the judges deflate gate decision. I can check it out if Doc is assigning NFL collective bargaining agreement homework on Labor Day weekend, but I'd rather not. Had six trials in six weeks and would like to chillax. I'm back! The CBA and football in general is like Mad Max Thunder Dome Court. With Goodell being Aunty Tina Turner of course. Brady knew the law: break a deal and face the wheel. Federal judges should not try to fix the NFL and should just roll with it.
