We recently discussed the challenges that plaintiffs face in bringing employment lawsuits. But we left out perhaps the biggest hurdle facing victims of discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and the like.
For 28 of the past 40-plus years, Republican presidents have been appointing federal judges. That means the federal bench is populated with GOP appointees who tend to favor management over workers.
Two Birmingham attorneys recently pointed out to me that we have a federal judge in our fair city who is particularly unfriendly to plaintiffs in discrimination cases. In fact, he seems to take special delight in dismissing employment cases, even when the facts and the law dictate that they should move forward.
The judge's name is James H. Hancock, a Richard Nixon appointee. "He just doesn't like discrimination cases," one of my sources says. "He will toss them out for no reason."
"I'm sure there are some bad employment cases that deserve to be kicked," I said.
"Oh, there are, but he dismisses good cases," my source said. "I know one firm that tells clients, if they get Hancock for the judge, that they are just wasting their time by moving forward."
So a federal judge could cheat victims of discrimination, based on his personal whims and not the law? Oh yes, say my sources.
"Hancock really hates it when a woman lawyer brings a case," one source says. "Particularly when the woman is taller than him--which includes just about all women."
So much for the hallowed scales of justice.

Bill Clinton is a war criminal for bombing Russia during the 90s collapse, Monica was the cover-up.
BC speaks in paid events with GWB and Canada is where their new world order top priority agenda "talks" are happening.
Costly price tag to hear the war whores talk about their full spectrum dominance: GLOBALISM.
An expensive event was held for GWB to speak in Canada - where he 'tested the waters' prior to this Democrat and Republican President duo talk, to see whether or not he would be assassinated.
Unfortunately, however, he commanded enough money (attendees) to provide him with a false sense of security about his continued HOPE in the collapse of the US | Canada | Mexico.
Dick Cheney's protection as the top assassination ring on planet earth - who is safe?
It must frighten the judges knowing so much about their masters' "systems."
From what I read, I agree about the FEDERALIST SOCIETY, judges in the Republican camp DEFINITELY are showing signs of being the most experimented on, by their masters.
Democrats are Michael Jackson lookalikes in too many surgeries and, then, Roger Rabbit eyes are too coincidental. Drug company returns?
Global shareholder profits are mandatory. Calling 911 locally in America is a private cost for global shareholder profits.
Look to Tel Aviv for some real medical science being performed and/or 'manufactured.' Testing of new weapons and pandemics are for what cause | war/s?
A book due published in April | May: THE FRANKLIN SCANDAL, an atrocity which was committed by the same family/ies of shareholders ...
America's REPUBLICAN PARTY - claimed to be a cult.
Can it be, Republicans and the US COURT SYSTEM are | IS the COMMON PURPOSE piece to America?
'Common Purpose,' a "charity?"
(Or, is it a cult? Charities in Europe and also here in the US are specifically owned by the families who benefit most as RICH philanthropists.)
Common Purpose purposely corrupts society. Common Purpose is also in the US, under a different auspice, however.
The REPUBLICAN judges should be required (DEMOCRATS too), to expose their retirement portfolios and a forensic examination can disqualify (this would be all judges more than likely, certainly I'd bet all Republican ones) for conflicts of interest. Please, how can a system built upon STOCK TRADINGS be trusted to judge?
CORRECTION CORPORATIONS of AMERICA.
CCA: PRIVATIZED PRISON SYSTEM!
Who has done the math on the shareholder profits by DICK CHENEY, and but of course, KARL ROVE, et al. | large stockholders in the VANGARD (sp?) shareholder profits known as CCA?
What about a thorough investigation into the psychological profile of the JUDGES and attorneys, too?
Drug companies (pharmaceuticals) with stocks that must be hidden in those portfolios or else the public can see how easy it is to be JUDGED according to the corporation and not humanitarian as is the highest of genuine legal principals.
Corruption in the Republican judges and our courts? Yes, the retirement portfolios prove it.
And, DEMOCRATS plus every AMERICAN human being who is retiring on the system manufactured to trade the most disposable commodity in the 21st Century: humans ...
MUST EXPOSE their 'hidden' agendas.
The SHYLOCK SYSTEM DEMANDS we trade human commodities for the RICH to have the entitlement of their super elitISM -- call it what it is:
cannibalISM.
I hope this link works, sending via email too.

CITIZENS' ACCESS TO A GRAND JURY
The law school has a professor who can teach how to do this!
principles, not "pal."
The reason why women lawyers are taller than the judge s because the feale lawyer is mosly wearing heels. Also, that's a judge that wants to be a chicken and run way from discrimination cases. That's even worse than our sleazy Alabama Supreme Court!
