Yes, somebody has to judge the boring cases I suppose, but there does seem to be a group of players here who enjoy doing so. Isn't it better that I judge some cases rather than none at all?
IMHO part of the problem is that of late there has been a glut of cases that require a lot of work on the part of the judge and have little value in determining precedent. I used to have to recuse myself from a lot less cases because most of the cases were at least interesting and/or truly dealt with important matters of controversy. BobTHJ
