In other words, had Judge Cooke already been assigned to the other case, such that the Government could effectively "judge-shop" the Padilla case? If so, that's a bit troubling. If not, I wonder if the Government is happy with the results of "the wheel."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9615048.post-1132686464723761322005-11-22T14:07:00.000-05:002005-11-22T14:07:00.000-05:00Judge Cooke has the case.Judge Cooke has the case.David Oscar Markushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18386723948607633980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9615048.post-1132686215564044292005-11-22T14:03:00.000-05:002005-11-22T14:03:00.000-05:00Which judge has the case??Which judge has the case??Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11932299683373361266noreply@blogger.com
