Sorcha, you can say 'his court his rules' all you like but that
isn't reality. There are standards of judicial conduct and
there are notions of proportionality which pertain to them.

Cartoonish behavior, whether it's getting all teary over
Anna Nichole Smith or having a hard-on for anybody whose
cell-phone might make a momentary peep because its owner
made a good-faith mistake just makes a mockery of the
institution which you purport to revere.

In any case, Kendall, your neighbors who use their mobile phones
in a manner similar to the way you want to use yours are your best
advisers as to carrier and handset.
