Commissioner Sauerlender was VERY unprofessional. Didn't listen to both sides. One-sided, was obviously siding with one side on everything and was obviously angry in the hearing. He allowed information in that had no basis in fact or reality. Mr. Sauerlender has no business being a judge of any kind in any court. It was all I could do to stay in the room; it was so bad it was making me physically sick.

What a pompous horse's ass this guy is. He does not know the law, he won't read the parties' submissions or the cases cited, and he has no experience as a lawyer and absolutely none in the civil end of the law. He is an elitist, and will always rule for the government or the party with money and position over the little guy. Bad, bad news.

I am an observer - He has zero interest in being a Judge, he doesn't care about the law, or the rules, and allows people to just do what they want. In my opinion this makes him equivalent to "buttons on a board" useless. He should just retire already. I guess people should not expect more in a bill hilly ville

Bob "kick the can" Sauerlender, who cannot make a decision but will examine a bug on the wall in the name of procedure. This guy is really off. This was the best choice?
