I’m looking forward to this one getting his comeuppance at last.
Robin Roberts (6c18fd) — 8/11/2007 @ 2:24 pmWell there’s a shocker.

He’s already on his way:
Smack!
Paul (a47125) — 8/11/2007 @ 2:40 pmCould this start an end to reign of terror of black complainants?– the Duke lacrosse and DC pants verdicts
These two court results have alot in common– wacky black complainants blithely using the judicial system to make false accusations against, and thereby torture, some poor innocent who falls into a category against which too many blacks have a bias– white preppies, Koreans. The difference is the outcome, albeit after far too many months and dollars.
allijer288 (c36902) — 8/11/2007 @ 3:11 pmThis is all inspired by Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and the like, who have spent decades planting such thoughts in the minds of members of the black community who’ve convinced themselves they have some sort of grievance, which is an unfortunately high proportion.
Let’s hope this gives pause to the professional race baiters, and maybe even the paranoid black in the street.
Yep, Paul, I’d seen that story. I thought a lot about this person’s character could be gleaned from the history of his reappointment alone. He was going to be reappointed until he was stupid, crass, and classless enough to email around his workplace what he thought of the chief judge. This one is not the brightest bulb in the ALJ christmas tree.
Robin Roberts (6c18fd) — 8/11/2007 @ 3:26 pmallijer288, frankly I’ve never paid any attention to this soon to be ex-judge’s race. I don’t care now that you’ve explained it to me either.
I suspect that what makes this person a jackass is fairly distant from his race – I think that he’d be a jackass if he was an albino.
Robin Roberts (6c18fd) — 8/11/2007 @ 3:28 pmLet’s zip this one up.
daleyrocks (906622) — 8/11/2007 @ 4:14 pmkeep looking closely, robin. you’ll learn something.
allijer288 (d671ab) — 8/11/2007 @ 4:16 pmallijer288, I suspect I’ve already learned something but not about our Pants Judge.
Robin Roberts (6c18fd) — 8/11/2007 @ 4:20 pmHuh?
Christoph (92b8f7) — 8/11/2007 @ 4:57 pmFirst the plaintiff lost his pants,
Perfect Sense (b6ec8c) — 8/11/2007 @ 9:09 pmnow he will lose his shirt.
You ever notice that for most people something is never a problem, until it impacts them?
Alan Kellogg (fbaf4f) — 8/11/2007 @ 10:34 pmI was just dealing with a landlord
It took six weeks of verbal requests including the day I moved in followed by two letters spaced seven weeks apart to get a lock on the door and a smoke alarm. Both showed up on the day of my deadline for legal action (I could have afforded to do either on my own, but was annoyed).
Yeah, I noticed that.
Christoph (92b8f7) — 8/11/2007 @ 10:47 pmPatterico dismissed his reasoning out of hand as soft headed and not worth debating or something like that. Steyn’s 6-substantial points:
…I agree with.
Patterico doesn’t and as a prosecutor he brings a different perspective to the table. I just don’t know what to criticize in regards to Steyn’s reasoning.
Can anyone help me out?
Christoph (92b8f7) — 8/11/2007 @ 11:00 pmChristoph, did you perhaps mean that to go in the illegal alien getting bail thread?
aphrael (9e8ccd) — 8/11/2007 @ 11:02 pmOops, yes, I did. Thanks for being helpful yet again tonight, aphrael.
If anyone is monitoring these threads, feel free to delete the above Non Sequitur because I’m going to repost it.
Christoph (92b8f7) — 8/11/2007 @ 11:06 pm1) An end to the near universal reliance on plea bargains, a feature unknown to most other countries in the Common Law tradition. This assures that a convicted man is doubly penalized, first for the crime and second for insisting on his right to trial by jury.
I wouldn’t say that he’s penalized for rejecting a plea bargain; if he’s convicted, he receives the sentence he deserved.
By rejecting a plea offer, the defendant is gambling away the terms of the plea offer: if the jury exonerates him, he wins his bet. When you gamble, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
