The Shoe Drops on the Federal Bench: Judge Alex Kosinski edition

At least, this scumbag judge had the decency  to retire of his rather misplaced apology.  To characterize unwanted touching--grabbing of females' breasts--only rings hollow, self justifying, and deflecting from his personal and moral failings, far above offensiveness of his particular acts

[Alex Kozinski, a distinguished federal appeals court judge, announced his retirement Monday, effective immediately, after sexual misconduct allegations continued to dog the once-respected justice. 

In a statement released by his attorney, the 67-year-old Kozinski partially apologized for his behavior but also tried to frame parts of it as a misunderstanding. 

"I've always had a broad sense of humor and a candid way of speaking to both male and female law clerks alike. In doing so, I may not have been mindful enough of the special challenges and pressures that women face in the workplace. It grieves me to learn that I caused any of my clerks to feel uncomfortable; this was never my intent," he wrote.
"For that, I sincerely apologize," he added.]

Mistakes my ass; he acted like a lecherous old man entitled by his lifetime appointment to the federal bench, another one of Ronnie Raygun's mistakes.  Maybe with a strong mother and 2 cherished sisters, my judgment and actions never stooped to the level described by various women witnesses.


Thank God as She must have taught me better.

[Nine more women say that Alex Kozinski — a high-profile judge who sits on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit — subjected them to sexual comments or other conduct, including four who say he touched them inappropriately....
The new allegations — which span decades and include not just those who worked for Kozinski but also those who encountered him at events — bring the total number of women accusing the judge of inappropriate behavior to at least 15.]
