THE COURT: And I hope you stuck to the subject matter before the
Supreme Court in Washington better than you're doing today. Because
most of what you said doesn't have anything to do with the issue
before the Court.

Yep, really shows his courtroom savvy.

Apparently he did, because he won before the Supremes. I've actually seen
worse pro se defendants. Most judges who are aware of the increased
obligations placed on them by pro se litigants, will attempt to focus the
litigant with questions and prodding before they ramble too much. This
judge didn't do that and let his frustrations show with sarcastic remarks.
I wouldn't expect much better from a county level judge in S. Carolina. I
can tell you that in the Federal courts, judges do a much better job than
this S. Carolina judge did.

Every case is different. I suspect the facts are a good deal better in the
present Truong action than they were for him in S. Carolina. Time will
tell. :-)
