There is no more glaring example of negative pressure and influence by the agency “bean counters”, Congress, and other entities affecting the judicial independence and decision making of this Judge than the dramatic change in his pay and deny rates. His pay rate was in the area of 80%, he was then cited as an outlier because of this rate in a report and his pay rate dropped drastically to the area of 40%. How absurd is that????!!!!
What is extremely interesting is the drastic change in this Judge’s approval rate during the past one and a half to two years: from the high 70% or low 80% to, now, only 44%! WHY IS THAT??
This man sounds sympathetic and understanding, why oh why couldnt I have gotten him? If you have medical reports that back you up there should be no reason to be denied. Since when do these judges has licenses to practice medicine?
Can somebody explain to me how 1 judge can have a 71% approval rate and another judge has a 24% approval rate? Is one judge being more sympathetic than the other? I really don’t understand the huge difference. Look at some of the approval rates and denial rates across the board. Makes NO sense to me!
