...a Judge that has some sort of common sense and not intimidated by iconic pressure.

I have to agree. People scream all the time about frivolous lawsuits, but the fact of the matter is the judges still hear them and, most of the time, can see from initial pleadings that the case is baseless. The judges have as much power as anyone to put a stop to these kinds of cases, and I would like to see them use it.
...
I think it is proper, and the American thing to do to at least hear a case and then determine whether or not to moveforward.
...
I don't think the issue is about hearing the case, I think its with granting these stupid injucnctions without it being proven there are damages. Take it to court, if damages are determined, then award damages and take them off the shelves at that time.
...
I agree. Was never saying anything about dismissing the case on face value. No problem with a hearing, but blocking imports and assuming damages before a ruling has been made is irresponsible, no matter what company is involved.
...
You missed this one by a long shot. This is preventing them to do things like this unless there is proof, not on an assumption. Has nothing to do with reviewing a case.
...
In a country where Anybody can sue anybody else for anything at all, I definately do not agree with that.
I could sue you right now for not cutting your front lawn, whether you did it or not, whether you even have a front lawn or not.
Doesnt mean it'll go to trial, but you feel that this should still be heard by a judge ? Pretty ridiculous.

I am totally with you on this one John,
I am so sick and tired of Apple crying foul over someone else that makes a slab style, with a touch primary input, that can get make phone calls, text, browse the web, load and run apps yatta yatta yatta,
Motorola tried the same thing I think in 2000 claiming a patent on the flip phone design. Since MOTO did not have Apples monetary resources, the smack down by the judge came a whole lot sooner than this,
