Folly of the DayHe Named His Escape Boat 'The Silver Lining,' Used 12 Aliases, Stayed in U.S. Waters for 20 Years, and Was Caught One Hour Offshore
He announced, in writing, that he expected to win and could not accept the small chance of losing — then named his vessel 'The Silver Lining,' registered it under a fake name, stayed in the country whose justice system he was avoiding, and spent twenty years sailing in careful circles until the Marshals arrived. The man who believed he was going to win had written to his own attorney to explain why he was leaving. He never crossed the international waters he had 'long been carefully planning' to cross. He simply floated, alias to alias, one hour from shore, waiting to be right.

Black-Robed EgomaniaA Florida Judge Called a Litigant an 'Entitled Little Snot,' Blessed Her Father for Not Beating Her, and — His Lawyer Assures the Commission — Remains Fit for the Bench
The robe exists for one purpose: to make the man wearing it the coldest person in the room, so that a court is something other than a mob with a docket. Roberson mistook it for a pulpit and broadcast his contempt from it — diagnosing 'entitlement' in a private citizen while performing the only species of the thing that comes with subpoena power. The defense is the tell: he regrets it, and he remains fit. That concedes the wound and denies it is one. Temperament is not a garnish on judicial fitness; it is the whole meal. He spared the rod, he said. He was holding it the entire time.
