| Actually, according to that article, he isn't hearing cases right now, though he's still got administrative duties. He has been recommended for reappointment as a judge, and the argument seems to be over whether factors other than his job performance should be considered. In other words, as a judge he's good at his job; does the fact that he rfiled this ridiculous lawsuit mean that he's a bad judge? Or that he shouldn't be allowed to be a judge, just because we disagree with his personal choices?
As for the lawsuit itself, the man stated that the suit had little to do with the lost pants; he said it was because of the signs the dry cleaners had up: Same Day Service and Satisfaction Guaranteed. It sounds to me like he's trying to make a point. And since all he has done so far is file the lawsuit and reject a settlement, it may still be thrown out of court.
Personally, I think it should be thrown out; I don't think the courts should be used to express a philosophical difference of opinion.
