The San Jose Mercury News reports that Judge Patel has been promoted to
Chief Judge of the Northern District of California. It lists some of her
decisions as:
* The first judge to declare illegal the WW2 internment of Japanese-Americans
* The gas chamber is a cruel and unusual punishment.
Given the way these high profile decisions have been upheld on appeal, we
can hope for the Burnstein case to be upheld as well.
