The DC government is deciding whether or not to reappoint Roy Pearson as an administrative judge in the DC government. Judge Roy, as you may recall, is the guy who is suing a family owned dry cleaners for $54 million for losing a pair of pants.
Some say Pearson's constitutional right to sue is none of the DC government's business. Others point to the requirements for DC admin judges to posses judicial temperament.
As a DC taxpayer (and dry cleaner user) I say: give Pearson a friggin' kick in the seat of his pants suit. "Judicial temperament?" Not. We could use one less nut job down at city hall.

Pearson makes other lawyers look good. He's a disgrace. If he is reappointed, it's cowardice and/or racism.
Pearson is a disgrace to his profession. He may be mentally ill, but that's no excuse. If he's retained as judge, it's either because of racism or cowardice.
PEARSON DOES NOT DESERVE ANYTHING LESS THAN REMOVAL FROM HIS POST
AND DISBARMENT.
HIS LAWYER, (IF ANY) DESERVES DISBARMENT TOO FOR PURSUING A FRIVOLOUS LAWSUIT THAT DESEVED NO MORE THAN BEING BROUGHT IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT.
As you are undoubtedly aware, a $54 million lawsuit was recently brought in DC District Court against a small neighborhood drycleaners over a pair of alleged lost trousers. While the Court found resoundingly in favor of the business owners, Jin and Soo Chung, their ordeal is not yet over—they have drained their saving accounts contesting this frivolous lawsuit, and they have racked up over $100,000 in legal expenses.
In order to help the Chungs defray their legal bills, ILR and the American Tort Reform Association are co-hosting a fundraiser on Tuesday evening, July 24 at 6 p.m. at the US Chamber Building in Washington, DC. Unfortunately, businesses large and small across America must deal every day with similar extortionist tactics from some plaintiffs’ lawyers. The collective outcome is not justice, but lost jobs, ruined businesses and billions of dollars in lost economic opportunity.
