... so, in her senility, she has to start tinkering around with inconsequential non-issues.~*~*~*~http://judgepedia.org/index.php/Barbara_CrabbIn her release issued to the Wisconsin media, Crabb stated: "Over the past several years, this court’s ever-expanding and increasingly complex caseload has required extraordinary efforts from all of the judges and court staff in order to provide the prompt resolution of cases that all litigants have a right to expect. All indicators suggest that this trend will continue unabated. "One solution would be to ask Congress to authorize a third judgeship for this court, but this would be a time-consuming and expensive proposition. A more cost-effective and immediate solution would be for me to take senior status. This would allow me to continue my work for the court at a less frenetic pace while opening a full-time position for another federal judge. Given the nation’s current economic straits and the immediate needs of this court, I have decided after considerable reflection that this is the best course for all concerned. Therefore, I have written President Obama to report my intention to take senior status as soon as my successor can be appointed."[5].
