THE ROBING ROOM

Judge Kennelly is irratic, impatient and flys off the handle - much like Judge Darrah in this regard - another cross between Mr. Know-it-all and Dr. Jeckle-Mr. Hyde. He's fulll of himself and jumps too fast to conclusions about issues, lawyers and parties. Smart, but lacks real wisdom - but, heck, isn't a Federal Judge supposed to be 'smart'. Also much too quick to take unnecessary and unwarranted shots a lawyers. It seems he can't restrain himself from doing so. He's like a time-bomb, ready to go off. He doesn't know that he that he could sure use huge doses of humility, patience and Valium (Diazepam). Too bad there's no ready cure for his condescension, other than to disgorge him of his Ivy League - his doesn't stink - superiority complex. Must give him one thing - he's a very hard worker - a real type 'A' - but he should slow down and smell the justice. Having said all this, one could do much worse, believe it or not, in the Northern District's judge assignment lotto.
