Moral of the Judge Pants suit story: Choose your battles wisely

A few months ago, all the rave in the legal news world was about the judge who was suing his dry cleaner for overstarching his pants. I wrote about this when it was current. Now, on the news this morning, I saw that this same judge has been asked to resign. See Judge Who Lost Pant Suit Loses Job. Not much to comment on other than the entire circumstance is sort of wrinkled. In the words of Kenny Rodgers, you have to know when to hold them and know when to fold them.

This may have been one of the times where it would have been easier to simply go somewhere else. I can only wonder how much business for this dry cleaner this entire story has generated. Chances are that they aren't hurting for business right now.

Maybe they are getting more business, but didn't they have to shut down one of their cleaners (they have several)? Something about expenses and legal bills. Or maybe it was just a failing business and blaming it on the legal bills is better PR.
