So, old trial lawyer story/tip.
Every trial lawyer worth his salt has had to deal with this sort of person at least once (usually more than once): the idiot judge who simply agrees with the position of the last person who spoke.
When you are arguing a case in front of such a judge, and you realize that what you say doesn't matter, the evidence you present doesn't matter.....only the timing matters....it changes your whole strategy. You could lay out the most lay-down, open-and-shut case in history, and the judge nods along, says "I think that's right," then turns to the other lawyer and says "any response?" The other lawyer doesn't have to say more than "well that's not right, that's not what the law says." No citation to any actual law, or evidence, but the judge nods and says "I think that's right." You then realize that you're in trouble.....and what you need to do is find a way to say "nuh uh, I win." And then hope the court runs out of time to hear anything else.
You realize that no matter what the law and facts are, you are dealing with a malleable moron, who has the memory and attention span of a lobotomized, previously brain-damaged gnat.
And we elected that guy president. There's a strategy for dealing with him. It's just such a fucking dumb one.
