There really should be a reference supporting this assertion at the end that Barkett is one of the most curious, hard working, and fair judges out there. As someone who knows a little something about the legal world, that's just a flabbergasting statement. I mean, "curious?" C'mon!--Smashingworth21:39, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
That's been there since the anon contributor who added this article - not really encyclopedic, so feel free to can it. bd2412T21:58, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
As mentioned above, the uncited peacock language is not neutral. There also isn't a fair account of the critique of Barkett's judicial activism. Ed Whelan has written about the subject. There's also undue emphasis on one non-notable 11th Circuit opinion. THF (talk) 16:46, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
