Lawsuit: Amtrak ought to have saved me from my sorry, drunken butt
A 25-yr-old New York man took 27,500 volts after climbing to the top of an idle Amtrak car in Boston in 2006 and lost an arm and a leg to burns. That was mostly Amtrak's fault, he now says in court, because, hey, trespassing happens; sometimes, railroad cars need to be climbed on top of. New York Post

Who's going to bring suit against the judge that allowed this spurious suit to go forward? Will this dude pay the defendant's lawyer bill if/when he looses or will that be left up to US?
