Allegations of sexual misconduct again...re 3:40 PM<br /><br />Allegations of sexual misconduct against Kozinski go back decades, so why raise them now? Are the judicial councils and the judicial conference so weak on discipline that they sit on allegations of sexual misconduct for decades, until the NYT exposed Harvey Weinstein and #MeToo got rolling? You know Kozinski is not the only federal judge who has engaged in sexual misconduct. But Kozinski is the first to go. Clearly the judicial conference was not happy with his appearance on 60 minutes. Just sayin...<br /><br />http://www.uscourts.gov/about-federal-courts/governance-judicial-conference<br /><br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judicial_Conference_of_the_United_States<br /><br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judicial_council_(United_States)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9615048.post-89727440324938714052017-12-19T06:53:59.801-05:002017-12-19T06:53:59.801-05:00I may be in the minority about Petersen.

If Kennedy thought him to be unqualified, he could have gone to Petersen and the WH. Don't embarrass him in public.

Any connection between Kozinski’s 60 Minutes appearance, and the current allegations of sexual misconduct leading to his retirement? <br /><br />See, How many innocent people are in federal prison? "Ninth Circuit Judge Alex Kozinski told 60 Minutes that about 1% or over 20,000 innocent people are in federal prison..."<br /><br />http://sdfla.blogspot.com/2017/04/how-many-innocent-people-are-in-federal.html<br /><br />Seventh Circuit Judge Richard Posner criticized the federal courts, and then he retired, likely pressured to leave by his colleagues. See Above the Law, The Backstory Behind Judge Richard Posner’s Retirement,<br /><br />Posner responded to DL’s email, "Nice to hear from you, David. And I’m not taking senior status; my departure is total. It has to do with fact that I don’t think the court is treating the pro se appellants fairly, and none of the other judges agrees with me (or rather, they don’t like the pro se’s and don’t want to do anything with them, with occasional exceptions only)."<br /><br />https://abovethelaw.com/2017/09/the-backstory-behind-judge-richard-posners-retirement/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9615048.post-62803092866366816342017-12-18T13:32:21.812-05:002017-12-18T13:32:21.812-05:00Rumpole is always dead on...we made two mistakes t...Rumpole is always dead on...we made two mistakes this year and the year is almost over.

He was an old school skirt chaser.

So far nothing...<br /><br />I also note that in this day and age, having affairs with women who worked for them would have disqualified Presidents Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower, John Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Bill Clinton. It also would have disqualified Eisenhower from serving as Supreme Commander of Allied Forces in WWII. <br /><br />Not justifying the behavior, just noting it.
