Former Judge Who Lost $54M Pants Suit Sues To Get Job Back
May 5, 2008
WASHINGTON — A former judge who lost a $54 million lawsuit against a dry cleaner over a missing pair of pants is suing to get his job back and at least $1 million in damages.
In the suit filed in federal court, Roy Pearson he was wrongfully dismissed for exposing corruption within the Office of Administrative Hearings, the department where he worked. In court documents, Pearson said he was protected as a whistle-blower and that the city used the fact that he was being “vilified in the media” to cut him out of his job.
In a response to a Freedom of Information Act request from The Associated Press, the city’s general counsel wrote that Pearson’s term as an administrative law judge expired in May 2007, and the D.C. Commission on Selection and Tenure of Administrative Law Judges voted not to reappoint him.
So his job has 54 times less worth to him than his pants?
How dare anyone question his judgment?

Looks like this assclown wasn’t happy with his previous 15 minutes of fame, or infamy if you prefer. Man, this guy just takes the cake as moronic litigator of the year. As Bugs would say, “What a maroon!”.
I think Air America should hire him as their on-air legal advisor for libtards. ;o)

“the D.C. Commission on Selection and Tenure of Administrative Law Judges voted not to reappoint him.”
He was laid off. Happens to a lot of us.

What is it that judges do? If Roy Pearson’s behavior during the past year isn’t testimony to his judgement, then nothing is. This terribly troubled, lost soul should not be making judgements for or about anything. He seems to be close to the point where he shouldn’t be making decisions for himself.

First he loses his pants, and now he’s showing his ass. Go figure.

Co-workers at the Office of the Inspector General told reporters he did very little for his $100,000/yr. job. He worked on one tenant lawsuit for 18 years by abusing the litigation process. In other words he collected D.C.’s upper class welfare.
I used to live in Montgomery County right outside of D.C. and will testify that it is one sick city. I’d rather live in some piss soaked ally. I used to joke that we should move the monuments to Montana so we wouldn’t have to be so embarrassed when foreigners visited them.
More on point, if you ever find yourself in legal trouble there, try to opt out of trial by jury. If you don’t believe me ask Scooter Libby.
