THE ROBING ROOM

Judge Hilton is the exemplification of why lifetime appointments are problematic. His reputation is well known: he does not rule in favor of employees regardless of the facts - which he alters to suit his personal judgment. He is unable to even stay awake through oral argument. Thanks to the protection of his lifetime appointment he cannot begin to comprehend the position of the parties that stand before him, terminated for discriminatory causes weakly justified by employers as cause.
