“And when this judge is laying on a Hospital Gurney the doctors should tell him that they’re looking for a ‘minority’ doctor to treat him.”
Thanks for the GREAT REPLY!!!
Looking in the penumbra ... searching ... searching ... found bupkis ... still looking ...
I don’t remember the part about diversity trumping the constitution in my civics classes.
Must have been out sick that day.
A minority female doctor with a handicap, preferably a quadriplegic with a learning disability.
He was nominated by President Bill Clinton to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on April 26, 1994, to fill a seat vacated by Robert W. Sweet. He was confirmed by the United States Senate on August 9 and received his commission the next day. Judge Baer found his judicial career in a firestorm in 1996 when he issued an opinion that suppressed evidence in a drug case in the case of US v. Bayless, 913 F. Supp. 232 (SDNY 1996). In a legal opinion that generated much public criticism, the Judge ruled that no reasonable suspicion existed to stop a car when the car was in a known drug area, it was 5am in the morning, the car had Michigan plates, it was doubled parked, four men approached the car and, without talking to the driver, and put two large duffle bags into the trunk of the car. When the police approached the car, the four men walked off in different directions. The police then stopped the car to question the driver. The driver consented to a search of her car and 34 kilos of cocaine and 2 kilos of heroin were found in the trunk and the driver ultimately admitted that she had made numerous drug runs between Detroit and Manhattan over the past few years. The Judge suppressed the cocaine and heroin that was found in the car as well as the incriminating statements of the defendant saying there was no reasonable suspicion for the police officers to stop the car in the first place. The judge questioned the testimony of the police officer and credited the conflicting testimony of the defendant. There was a huge public outrage against the decision, and President Clinton even talked of trying to get Judge Baer's to resign.
My guess is that he is angling to be Obama’s next SCOTUS pick.
Registration is free but it is required.
How would you like to be the minority mascot chosen to complete the team?
“Well, you weren’t up to snuff for this job before, but now there’s this judge, see?... Don’t worry, you don’t actually need to DO anything, just hang out on Twitter and be ready to show up at our court appearances.”
...of course you realize that white, male doctors are the minority... same with engineers.
Diversity is the New Racism.
This is no different than a judge, 60 years ago, telling a defendant he can’t have a black lawyer. Diversity just means “no whites allowed”
The judges “judgment” is what is racist and sexist.
By his judgment in any other case, a single female defendant would require a female lawyer, and a single “minority” defendant would require a “minority” lawyer because ONLY “where one of their own” provides legal representation, could their “interest” be discerned and “defended”.
He should be disbarred/defrocked/impeached for the bigot he is.
