Very short tempered. I will vote against his retention if given the chance and will encourage others to do the same. He forgets that he is working for the people, not his self esteem. The way you treat people in the courtroom shouldn't take the place of viagra.

Based off of my encounter, I feel a lot of my fellow citizens are having bad days at the Courthouse. George Washington would vomit if he saw the way that court is run.

Comments:
A little weak at reading the character of the witnesses and determining who is truthful and who is lying.
Fair in some aspects of ruling but does display a significant bias that interferes with his ability to look at the facts.
Is annoyed if an attorney tries to correct him or display more knowledge of the law than he has. He is easily threatened by those who are smarter or more methodical than he is. He is a short tempered man with a sense of entitlement likely due to his family upbringing. He likely feels somewhat guilty of his life of privilege and sides for those who did not have the upbringing he experienced.
