Charles R. Breyer

In his older age, in even somewhat high-profile cases, he does nothing but grandstand--putting on a show to the live audience and the 1,000+ he invites to live stream. He makes no pretense anymore of trying to be judicial and, instead, decides the case in advance and then guides the entire litigation process to his desired outcome. If you're on his "disfavored" side of the case, he won't even try to be impartial toward you. In my case, neither side wanted to go to trial and he ordered them to do so just two months after the case was filed so that he could circumvent the Ninth Circuit's overruling of him earlier in the case! Truly unbelievable. This judge is a shadow of his former self and nothing like the jurist his brother is.
