Morning Roundup: Black Friday Edition
You have just got to be friggin' kidding me. The Associated Press is reporting that former administrative law judge Roy Pearson has filed a petition with the D.C. Court of Appeals requesting that his $54 million pants lawsuit case be reheard again, this time by a nine-judge panel. Three appellate judges ruled last month that Pearson's lawsuit had no merit. Pearson is now arguing that those judges failed to address all the issues in his appeal, and so is asking the full court to rehear the case. We just don't know if we can take another round of Pearson-related court proceedings. Surely the court can just reject his request at this point and refuse to rehear the case again, right? Pretty please?

We went to the Macy's at 12th & G this morning for the Black Friday morning specials. There was a sh

I'm glad he was disbarred, but can someone now find him to be certifiably mentally unstable so he can be put away in a room with padded walls and never bother us again!?
The court docket is filled with crazy filings of the mentally infirm. The only difference with this guy is that he earned a law degree despite his mental handicap. I have a brilliant, high-IQ brother is gets equally persistent over petty slights.
Roy Pearson is mad
That he lost his pants and now
He lost his shirt too
Would someone give this man is Z Cavaricci's and be done with the whole matter already?!
1. Roy Pearson was not disbarred. As of 30 seconds ago he is in good standing and an active member of the D.C. Bar.
2. What he is is a world-class douchebag. He doesn't seem to get the message that he's not going to get rich quick by suing for millions of dollars that he does not deserve.
3. I would imagine that he's going to have a pretty tough time finding another job. Any court should deny his motion right away, and hopefully that will be the last we hear from this bum.
I stand corrected, he was rather, he was turned down re-appointment
All he's doing is exercising his constitutional right to redress of grievances. This will only end when the Supreme Court refuses to hear the case or lets the lower court ruling stand. Although, it's kinda ridiculous him trying to couch this case in terms of a racist system taking advantage of an oppressed minority, particularly since he's bankrupted the Korean family he's been suing.
Anyway, this is going to make a smashing film. Kinda like Kafka's "The Trial" meets Peter Yates' "The Dresser." In hell. With no pants. Someone should sign up Biz Markie for the Pearson role. Brotha can act and sing the title track.
"YOU... you got WHAT I NEED! But you say you lost my pants. But you say you lost my pants. AW BABY YOU..."
I hate you - that song is now stuck in my head....
OH BABY YOU! GOT WHAT I NEEEEED!!!
I know where you live.....
Roy! You are suffering from the Point Blank Syndrome. That is where the patient looses complete focus of logic and only focuses on the principle. Give me your address and I will send you a gift card from TJ Max. Problem solved.
I say we pool together $5 and spring for a pair of sweatpants from Walmart for him. They are literally $5 and they'll be perfect for his future 'profession' - pushing a shopping cart around Farragut Square.
He's asking for the court to hear the case en banc. Those petitions are hardly ever granted, least of all for this lunatic.
I have a pair of silver sequined bell bottoms that light up and say "Disco Stu."
If I give them to you, Roy, would you please go the fuck away and stop demeaning the legal profession?
I saw an episode of Law and Order last night that ripped this particular story from the headlines. DC represent!
You know, I'd like the court to hear his argument, and then as soon as he was done talking, issue an order dismissing the case. No need to wait several months for the judges to write up an opinion. Just toss the case out as soon as oral arguments were done.
Which would, no doubt, lead Pearson to then file an appeal with the Supreme Court.
Seriously, how is this man ever going to find another job in the legal profession? At what point does some family member try to commit him to an asylum?
You know where this is going to end? That's right. The World Court at the Hague. The loss of this man's pants is the biggest crime against humanity since Rachel Ray got her own show.
Nay! Nay, I say unto you, Monk. This man's final judgement will before God Almighty (with sweet little 8 pound, 6 ounce infant Jesus at his side).
And He will strike down upon Mr Pearson with great vengeance and furious anger and the dude will know the Lord when He lays His vengeance upon him!
Then (and only then) will justice be served. Amen.
We could all just hire some down-on-his-or-her-luck crackhead ninja assassin to cuff his arse.
Even if he loses at the World Court, he'll just appeal to the Intergalactic Senate. You know Palpatine would totally hear this guy out if he thinks it will help discussions with the Trade Federation and the Bankers Guild. Or if will help him use Pearson's missing pants to get into Queen Amidala's royal pants!
Come on - in an odd way, we really don't want him to go away.
What we should do is collect every type of pants, i.e. sweatpants, dress pants, painter pants, M.C. Hammer Pants, hot pants... and leave them in a big heap on his door step. Maybe then he would just go away and be content that he has pants to wear.
Between this idiot and Blagojevich, I'd say Northwestern needs to revisit its curriculum.
it's kinda ridiculous him trying to couch this case in terms of a racist system taking advantage of an oppressed minority, particularly since he's bankrupted the Korean family he's been suing.
Which was the point of this exercise from square one: to maximize the amount of pain inflicted on the owners of the shop. I wonder if a counter-suit for harassment would be possible.
