As someone who’s spent a good portion of my professional life asking questions, I marvel at the interrogatory skill of some judges. 

U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria, who is overseeing the multidistrict litigation over claims that the herbicide Roundup causes cancer, is one of such judges who can craft a question that will waylay even the best lawyer. He notably got an attorney for Facebook to say that users have “no privacy interest” in their postings marked as private during a testy oral argument in a separate MDL he’s handling over the social media company’s Cambridge Analytica fiasco.
