Does Judge Lambert's clerk Mark Oursler have a drinking problem?

I just ran two blogs about two potential drinkers in high positions - Otsego County DA John Muehl and the former Chief Judge and now an "ordinary" judge of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York Gary L. Sharpe.

I also wrote that Otsego County Judge John Lambert, as part of his judicial duties, should not condone drinking among people who are practicing before him.

But the problem is that not only Judge Lambert (former subordinate of John Muehl) would not report Muehl, but he employs as his own law clerk a man, Mark Oursler, whose face is just like Muehl's and suggests the same problem.

Oursler handles the endless conferences for Judge Lambert in civil courts - and talks and talks and talks on issues unrelated to litigation, keeping attorneys as sitting ducks, not able to object the waste of their time - at the expense of their clients, for fear that they and their clients will become targets of Oursler's and Lambert's retaliation.

I wonder whether Oursler's extreme talkativeness on irrelevant issues is caused by his likely drinking problem.

Once again - will authorities dare to investigate this?
