 Lack of integrity

2010 Cycle #2

Judge Legg consistently puts his Republican political agenda before the prevailing facts and law. A contributor to the first President Bush, Legg has almost always ruled against civil rights litigants, sought to gut the Americans with Disabilitys Act, and insisted that police officers shouldn't be burdened with the requirment to allow arrested parties to arrange for the safe transportation of their vehicles, contrary to well-established case law. He simply ignores fundamental due process rights, like the right of aggrieved parties to a hearing when the government deprives thems of rights. He either doesn't bother to read briefs or willfully defames parties by misstating their causes of actions, case disposition, or other key elements of the case. And he degrades the integrity of his profession by refusing to correct any of his mistakes, no matter how publicly obvious they are. Right-wing bigots like Judge Legg do a great disservice to our system of justice.

...and if Judge Legg was hiring any number of us would happily send in resumes. How about we keep politics off this site?
