Comment on Judge in US v. Google trial didn’t know if Firefox is a browser or search engine

So I got to wonder, when that judge goes home at night, does his family, and especially his kids, let him know what everyone is saying about him in relation to this article?

And then I wonder how that affects him going into court the next day, when he has to ask more ‘dumb’ questions, does he actually ask or not.

Tech just isn’t his expertise.

Mehta has been described as an avid fan of hip hop music. In a 2015 copyright case regarding the similarity of two songs, Mehta noted in a footnote that he was "not a ‘lay person’ when it comes to hip-hop music and lyrics,” and noted he has “listened to hip hop for decades”. American rappers Jay-Z, Eminem, Kanye West and Canadian rapper Drake are among his favorite artists.

His job is to ask those questions. If he doesn’t do it, his reasoning will be flawed and then the case will restart with a new judge when appealed, wasting everyone’s time and money. I gotta imagine that’s more embarrassing to a judge than asking these questions.

His family and friends are likely a bubble and thus never see the article to begin with.

  Kids are never in the bubble, you know that. Even when they’re supposed to be in a bubble, they’re not in a bubble.

    Don Jr would like to have a word with you after he finishes these few ounces of blow.
    
    I guess it depends how rich or how mafia/Russian your connections are.
