I took the kids to Disney World this weekend. Back to the stack of mail and phone messages that ensue from a couple days away from the office....
Anything new going on in the District? Email me with some tips.
There are two important lunches in the next two weeks.
First, the Anti-Defamation League is honoring my former boss, Edward Davis, and H.T. Smith. Professor Alan Dershowitz is the keynote speaker.
And next Wednesday, November 14, the Federal Bar Association will be honored with Eleventh Circuit Judges Rosemary Barkett and Stanley Marcus. They will be answering your questions, so please come prepared.
The SDFLA Blog is dedicated to providing news and notes regarding federal practice in the Southern District of Florida. The New Times calls the blog "the definitive source on South Florida's federal court system." All tips on court happenings are welcome and will remain anonymous. Please email David Markus at dmarkus@markuslaw.com
Dershowitz is a schmuck. He has no business being a guest speaker at any dinner that honors people opposed to racism and intolerance. Dershowitz is tolerant of all things that protect JEWS and ISRAEL. He is as hawkish as any of the Bush administration when it comes to attacking Muslim nations without good cause. The man is a disgrace as was shown in the Libby trial appeals and should go down in history as a huge asshole.
ReplyDeleteIt is a disgrace that Judge Barkett, who is truly worthy of honor, should have to accept an award at a dinner in which Dershowitz is the keynote speaker.
ReplyDeleteMy bad, please substitute "H.T. Smith and Ned Davis, who are" for "Judge Barkett, who is".
ReplyDeleteIt must have been that "mushroom" clouding my mind.
Don't forget Dersh also wrote firmly in support of torture, putting him to the right of even the Likud party (which has always disavowed such immoral and unproductive methods).
