This is not real life.

Different rules for the rulers and the proles has been a big part of life on Earth for eternity. Why shouldn't we be surprised that this judge thinks it's okay to do things that a grade schooler can't.

The way to challenge a judge's opinion is to appeal it, not personally sue the judge. These responses are histrionic and misinformed.

Appeals are not automatic. Another judge has to decide whether you have standing to appeal - you can't just say "don't like the result, redo!"

Right, there needs to be procedural grounds for appeal, and this case is entirely about the judge violating procedural rules by delegating away their judgement. It's a perfect example of a case for an appeals court.

Doesn't seem that way for people with money though.

Yes, and? Lawsuits aren't automatic and you can't just say "don't like the result, redo!" in them either.

Appeals are designed to correct "errors of law." However, in this case, there were no "errors of law." Hence, nothing to appeal. :)
