Complicit

In his email to students, the dean addressed the sexual misconduct committed by a faculty member. In responding to the criticisms that the law school didn’t take any action, the dean pointed out that he put in restrictions against the professor. Unfortunately, it gave the impression that the dean knew about the sexual misconducts, but he didn’t immediately terminate the professor. He put in restrictions, but stayed quiet hoping the whole thing went away. If the women didn’t come forward and the media didn’t pick up the scoops, he wouldn’t have spoken up. I wonder who came up with this terrible communications strategy.

Scalia Law Professor Engaged in Sexual Misconduct

Aebra Coe reports for Law360:

The women said those early advances led to years of misconduct, during which Dorsey and Landry felt they had no option but to continue engaging sexually with Wright or else risk serious damage to their careers. Both said they believe there are “many” more women who have been similarly approached by Wright, based on conversations with former schoolmates and colleagues, as well as a conversation between Landry and Wright himself.…

Despite a string of flirtatious comments, Dorsey said, she generally thought Wright was “harmless” at the time and felt reassured by the fact that he was married and had small children. When he asked her to join him on a trip to meet clients in California, she said, she agreed to attend.

They stayed at a nice hotel, and when they arrived she discovered there was only one room with one bed, Dorsey said. There weren’t any client meetings during the trip, she said, and instead they went wine tasting.…

According to Landry, she confronted Wright in 2020 about his alleged sexual misconduct after he sent her an email apologizing for his behavior. They met in person and he told her he’d sought sexual relationships with countless women in professional settings, she said.

“He told me he couldn’t even count the number of people he sent inappropriate messages to,” she said.

Damn!

Scalia Law School Paid Judge Aileen Cannon

Adam Gabbatt reports for The Guardian:

With Cannon’s profile higher than ever, her impartiality is being questioned. The judge’s financial disclosure form for 2021, which was reviewed by Accountable.US, a liberal-leaning watchdog group that tracks government corruption, shows that she was reimbursed by George Mason University’s Antonin Scalia Law School for a six day trip to “colloquium seminar” held at a resort and spa in Montana in September.…

The purpose of Cannon’s 2021 trip, according to her financial disclosure form, was to attend the “Sage Lodge Colloquium”, an annual conference held by the law school in the town of Pray, Montana. Newsweek reported that Cannon attended the colloquium again in 2022.

It is not clear why her hotel and travel was paid for. Organizations will commonly reimburse guest speakers or lecturers, but the agenda of that year’s seminar does not show Cannon doing any teaching or speaking.

Damn!

Useless Money

Twenty-four-year-old Anthony “Emory” Hernandez Valadez own $18 million in a lawsuit against Johnson & Johnson. He claimed that the company’s talc-based baby powder caused him cancer. Unfortunately, he won’t live long enough to use his money. Isn’t life a fucking bitch? Even if you have all that money, you can’t use it. Enjoy life while you can or it will be too late. Life is too short to stress out.

Đói khuya

Gần đây hay bị đói lúc nửa đêm và phải vào bếp ăn cereal với sữa mới ngủ không bị bụng cồn cào. Chắc đã trở thành thói quen vì giờ đã khuya mà vẫn thấy đói. Đêm nay quyết định không ăn nên chỉ viết lên blog. Thôi buồn ngủ rồi. Tạm biệt nhé. Mai rảnh viết tiếp.

Fuck ’Em

As long as they stay the fuck out of my way, I don’t give a fuck. I just need to make my money and get the fuck out. I am done dealing with all the incompetent bullshit.

Books by Vietnamese Authors

I am looking forward to reading books written by Vietnamese authors:

LL, SCOTUS & ASSOL

Jim Jones, a Vietnam combat veteran who served 12 years as a justice on the Idaho Supreme Court, opines:

[Leonard] Leo has not overlooked other members of the SCOTUS. majority, making perks available through affiliates, such as Scalia Law, George Mason University’s law school in Virginia, and other gatherings where the justices can rub elbows with conservative business titans.
