This guy won his pants lawsuit. In a roundabout way.

The people he sued, used everything they had to defend themselves, and had to close their business.

This guy is a scumbag. And deserved to get fired.

Bush should make him a Supreme Court justice--then he'll only have to send his robe to the dry cleaners!

I have no sympathy for this pompous jerk.

I feel sorry that those hardworking store owners had to close a store because of him.

Does anyone happen to have copies of some of his rulings when he was a judge? I'm assuming they'd make interesting reading.

According to most of the news stories & whispers around here (DC Area), it was doubtful this guy was going to be reappointed way before he filed the pants lawsuit. He already had one foot out the door; the pants lawsuit was merely icing on the cake.

He's suing in federal court so the case can be thrown out on Rule 11 grounds of filing a suit that has no merit, as this one obviously has none.

Just a thought: If you don't want to be vilified, maybe you should... stop acting like a villain?

knowing how little money the District can afford to waste, I think the city residents should get together with some torches and pitchforks.

lincolnparadox — Wed, 07 May 2008 11:35:18 EDT

Shouldn't he be suing the press for the vilification? Judge Pearson wasn't reappointed this case (along with his divorce) were occurring during his review process. The review committee denied his re-approval because of a lack of "judicial temperament."

I think the poor guy lost a few marbles because of his divorce. That's worthy of some pity, but still a very good reason for his removal from the bench.

I think referring to the journalistic reporting of facts as being "vilified" is worthy of a billion dollar class action suit by all journalists.

PSA: If you don't want to be "vilified" in the media, you should probably not use venues in which the activities are considered a matter of public record. Just a thought.

How much time has this guy wasted on being litigious? If he had spent that time actually working, he'd probably have $1M already...

As a 'Pearson' myself (but not a litigious one) I wish he'd stop dragging all other Pearsons' names through the mud. Can't someone sue HIM for his sueing ways??

Also as a city employee myself I bet he gets back pay and disability (mental) and never has to work again.

sad part is, he still wound up getting his way and shut down the cleaners. The family had two but shut one down due to stress.

Hopefully, soon we will have him in Darwin Awards nominations.

jtheletter — Wed, 07 May 2008 09:12:10 EDT

@witeowl: You're absolutely right. The fact that for losing his job he is only claiming 2% of damages he wanted for losing his pants demonstrates exactly how outlandish his pants lawsuit was. In that light then, it only becomes more apparent that this is not the sort of person you want overseeing justice. Yes, judge, character matters in your profession. And by attempting to financially ruin a business (and the owners) over a single lost pair of pants shows you lack that character and, ahem, judgment.

I think the City should countersue for gross frivolous litagation and costs and tell this guy, in the only terms that he seems to understand - $$, to STFU!

So... a pair of pant is worth $54 million, but a career and reputation are only worth one mil?

Yeah, this guy's not looney at all.
