Arrogant. Seems to enjoy the power afforded by the bench more than the fair administration of justice. I don't get the sense he favors one side over the other from a DA/defense perspective; rather, he favors himself. It's abundantly clear he thinks he is the most important person in the room. Perhaps if he knew what most attorneys from both sides thought of him he would change. Not likely.
