Thank you Greg.
Now what is it that CUNY law school produces and places on the market
<g>. At least you did not call me a sleazy law publisher. Anyway, I
know some are upset but it seems to me that the objections to this line
should also be directed at those like Molstad and Leiter who persist in
bringing up the issue. But one thing that sleazy lawyers learn painfully
by experience (as do a lot of people running for office these days) is
that disinformation from reputable sources must be refuted.
I had no desire to go through the litany again and except for the
letter to Hughes that I am polishing up now, I do not intend to bring up
Berring again except in response to misinformation missives such as we
have seen in the last two days from Molsted and Leiter and even you.
However, this I will do. The next time Molstad, Leiter, you or anyone
else misrepresents the letter or the circumstances surrounding it, I will
wait 24 hours for those on this list who object to this issue coming up
over and over again to make that point publicly to you, Molstad, or
Leiter or whoever does it. Then, assuming there is nothing directly
slanderous, I will try as hard as I can to not respond. But, I do not
appreciate some of those sitting on their hands and letting anything be
said as long as it is signed "law librarian" or "west".
In the meantime, those who have criticized what they call "flames" and
"emotion" could help by doing a little research in the states they are in
and check out the Individual Rules of the Federal District Court judges
and post the result, especially in those states that have a public domain
reporter. Despite the criticism, some may note that my messages
cross-reference actual primary sources and actual rules and regulations.
But that is one of the sleazy tricks I learned at the University of
Chicago ... when the facts are on your side, use them.<g> So, I am more
than willing to fight it out on the facts, but equally willing to go into
the trenches. I do not have the luxury as does a large firm like West to
stay on the high ground while I hire pr represensentative, lobbyists, law
firms etc. do the dirty work and write Halloweed cartoons for the
Washington Post.
I have to shall we say do the dirty work myself which means
sometimes lowering myself to the level of the sources of misinformation.
I hope the law librarians on the list will understand this. The best
thing would be to focus on the source, and not the messenger.
In the meantime, other than to observe that I do not think you have
the chronology correct, I will say nothing and do accept your apology
and if you are on the West Side, give me a call and I will show you our
operations.
