Judge Quotes Scene from "Billy Madison"

The Smoking Gun reports that “in what is surely a first for the federal judiciary, a Texas bankruptcy judge has quoted from the Adam Sandler film canon in a recent opinion. Dismissing a motion due to ‘incomprehensibility,’ Judge Leif Clark cited a scene from ‘Billy Madison,’ Sandler’s 1995 comedy, in a footnote to a February 21 court order.”

“Mr. Madison, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response was there anything that could even be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”
