Cowboy Judge in Indian Case

AP has a backgrounder today on U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth that goes at least a little way toward explaining why he's so obsessed with the endless Indian trust fund case. Still not explained: Why, if Lamberth is so bent on seeing the Indians get justice in the case, he keeps issuing outlandish rulings that get overturned on appeal, thereby continuing to bog the process down for years.
