disgusting
As far as I'm concerned, it's despicable!
“District Judge Russell Fagg”
His last name doesn’t seem right.
These life time achievement awards, like the one in Wisconsin in the John Doe cases, are predictable. These old judges and sometimes lawyers spend decades going to meetings and sucking up to everyone. They have a lot of power. In our community everyone loved a federal judge. He had been a power lawyer, then a district court judge, then an appellate judge and then federal. He had everything going for him. They his wife got sick and he went home and shot her and then killed himself. Now there is an Inn of Court named after him and get this, a collegiality award. How do you name a collegiality award after someone who committed murder?
That’s nice. A bottom-feeding, scum-sucking judge getting an award from some bottom-feeding, scum-sucking lawyers. They sure stick together, don’t they?
“...and a few bad calls”
Yeah, saying that a child is responsible for her rape is worse than just “bad”. That’s straight-up despicable.
And the poor girl committed suicide. Even if she was not raped, she was not emotionally mature enough to make the decision to have sex.
First judge Kluka in Wisconsin and now this.
Is the legal profession giving the American people the finger?
A person is not defined by a single action - except in the courtroom of public opinion which, coincidentally, is also the place populated by those who know the least about him.
I seriously doubt that. Baugh’s judgment was not merely a “bad” call. It demonstrated utter contempt for the child victim and the law against rape. Someone who could do what this judge did is nothing short of evil. If he could essentially give the sexual predator a pass on this case, I seriously doubt that his sense of justice was functioning normally for the rest of the vast majority of the rest of the cases he handled.
Regarding the "Baugh is a wonderful person" comment, it reminds me of the video clips I have seen of Hitler and his henchmen enjoying their families. Looking at these videos you wouldn't conclude that they were moral monsters. But they were. Baugh and his buddy Judge Russell Fagg, and the rest of their good old boy network appear to be moral monsters as well.
As an aside, feminists and feminism has neutralized the natural 'fight or flight' in young women.
"You can do anything you want and you not are responsible for your actions" is the mantra .
So, walk down to the nearest darkly lit ATM, scantily dressed, because that is your right. And if you are attacked/raped/murdered, it isn't your fault because all men are border line rapists.
If you warn your male neighbor of the dangers of the darkly lit ATM, he will thank you warmly. If you warn your female neighbor, you are a sexist pig and "no man will tell me where and where not to go. You men are the problem." OK, good luck with that.
Every time a librarian gets raked over the coals for permitting people to view porn on library computers, you can be sure of one thing. That librarian will be the state librarian of the year in the following year.
