I have my boys use rock, paper, scissors to settle things as often as possible.

"I have my boys use rock, paper, scissors to settle things as often as possible."Yes, but do they prepare triplicate paper source documents to document the usuage of rock, paper, scissors while charging clients $250 an hour or more?

This judge knows how to embarass a couple of idiot attorneys.

Hey, here in Nevada it's the law that you settle a tied election with a deck of cards -- high card drawn wins.

It's funny...until they appeal, claiming a violation of their right to due process as a result of the arbitrary adjudication inherent in a ruling-by-Rock, Paper, Scissors.
I would like to know more.

And the judge is preventing them from continuing in such expensive dithering.
When the attorney arrived at St. Peter's gate, he was confused why he was there.
St. Peter replies, "You're 82 years old and lived a reasonably long life." The attorney is dumbfounded and sputters, "I'm only 32!"
Looking in his book, St. Peter says, "Not according to your billable hours."

Once again proving that truth is stranger than fiction. You simply can't make this stuff up.
When a federal court judge makes a ruling that minimalizes and mocks the court system, perhaps it's an indication that we can do with fewer courts and fewer idiot judges!!

I disagree, it does not mock the court, it mocks the attorneys, showing how childish they are.
Porsonally, I'd ratyher attorneys have to settle it with their left wrists bound together, and a knife in the right hand. Then they'd really earn what they charge.

Lawyers should settle disputes by dueling at dawn.

Judges have options. They can hear a case, or refuse to hear a case. If the case is stupid at its core, they simply have to refuse to hear it.
But, "punishing" the attorneys who filed the case the judge decided to hear makes a mockery of the court system. Until we have a "loser pays" system, when judges decide to hear stupid cases, it isn't the attorney's fault - it's the idiot judge who decided to hear the case.

LOL. Sounds like the lawyers were acting likes bratty kids, so the judge treated them like bratty kids.

Personally, I'd rather attorneys have to settle it with their left wrists bound together, and a knife in the right hand. Then they'd really earn what they charge. Thunder dome style. Two go in, one comes out.
