Ya'd think. I just prison raped one last week. He was all caught up in quoting cases and relaying facts to the Court. I kept politely asking for cites to transcripts he was quoting and he stupidly played along. His searching delayed everything and the Judge got bored and asked me "While he looks, what do you have to say?" I said my peace quickly while the other guy fumbled with papers and then other guy came back loaded with case law and cites for the Court. In the intervening moments, the Judge and I exchanged a few semi-jokes and he decided he liked me, and that the other guy was boring. The judge didn't want cites or case law. I made his job simple and I didn't bore him. He gave me what I wanted. Judges are lazy. If you give them an easy way to avoid work they'll go for your shtick every time. And when they're arguing with oppposing counsel, don't interject.
David Boies' argument to the Supremes was awful because the egmonaia didn't know when to shut his fucking mouth.
