Yes, Judge Judy is a jerk.
Thats why people like her show.
Just like Simon on American Idol.
I watch it occasionally-just to see him make fun of people..
Same with her. I watch it cuz she is so blunt and harsh and rude to the people. She tells it like it is, albeit a bit overboard, but the underlying point is still valid. And its amusing.
Dirgle: she doesn't exaclty represent the legal system here.

BOTH parties are paid to appear, they know the outcome could be anything, I HIGHLY DOUBT she is even a part of the official legal system and that her decisions are binding. It is entirely for drama. Think about this: If the auctions literally said "You are bidding on a picture only" then, legally, she did not do anything wrong. Unethical, yes; illegal, I don't believe so. Buyer beware, that simple. People just do it for effect, I don't think the decisions ever COST anybody anything, its just taken out of the awards for appearing on the show.
