"and the ladder of law has no top and no bottom..."

Judges sometimes do not allow a fair hearing and do not fairly consider the arguments of the parties' as shown in this colloquy reported by the Kentucky Court of Appeals:

During the hearing before the trial court, counsel for Appellees argued extensively. When counsel for [appellant] stated that he had not had an opportunity to make his argument, the following discussion ensued:

Counsel: I have an argument to make and I've not been able to make it. I know you need to leave, but ...

Court: I've heard-I understand the argument. Okay?

Counsel: But I haven't made it, Judge.

 

And so it goes.
