This is judge Aslup. The same judge who learned Java so he could adjudicate the Oracle v Google case with some level of expertise and was impressive with his insight in every aspect of that case I followed. IMO, he embodies the professionalism that we require from the bench. I certainly wouldn't throw out attacks on him based on a mildly snarky comment replying to a pretty silly argument.

Was it the same case where an Oracle lawyer disclosed, supposedly on accident, the figures Google earned? Or the other way around. Sorry, my memory is hazy. But I remember the judge being pretty harsh and snarky towards the lawyer.
Also, his middle name is Haskell!
Hence why opposing lawyers will try to smear his image make him seem unprofessional

He won't buy anybody's "Chewbacca defense"
