Has no people skills! I literally witnessed him carrying on with criminals like they were having a school reunion while hearing their cases?

Judge Gorelick's treatment of criminal defendants borders on sociopathic. More-or-less openly racist and sexist, entirely disinterested in hearing from counsel on case-settlement, and slow as a glacier. I once observed him lecture an acquitted criminal defendant on the difference between "innocent" and "not guilty." Will, however, give a fair trial.
