Judge Sues Dry Cleaners for $65 Mil.

Story on AOL News

Come on - $15,000 for a car rental every week for 10 years to drive to a different dry cleaners??? As the article says, there's no constitutional right to have a dry cleaners anywhere near you.

I hope this judge is disbarred. He is obviously ridiculous.

i heard about this a few weeks ago. he's lucky he was offered $12,000. 65 mil is an ASTRONOMICAL amount for anything. i hope people refuse to sell him pants after this.

I read about this earlier today on Yahoo! news... This is beyond ridiculous and frivalous. This judge should disbarred AND fined like Anna Nicole's mother for wasting the courts time. Shame on him!!

Was there a motion for sanctions filed? I wonder if it was ruled on.

Edit: Here is the judgment

http://taxprof.typepad.com/taxprof_b...n_judgment.pdf

Supposedly a decision on the rule 11 motion is pending.
