Thanks for your support.

Tom,

Judge Pearson attended Lake Forest College in Lake Forest, IL (nearby Bears Training Facility) and Northwestern Law School in Evanston, IL. It looks like he is also from Chicago area.

As for his political career, he is no better than Marion Barry. I work in DC but I will never live in DC. I much rather commute one hour one way than live under the DC Government.

Where are Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson? How come none of the “Civil” Right liberals Leadership are not speaking out against the Judge Pearson for his behavior against poor Korean Dry Cleaner owner? These two leaders are for Black’s Civil Rights only? So far, even ACLU or Amnesty international are silent about this. I wonder Pearson being Black has something to do with the fact other civil right groups are silent. Bunch of hypocrite bleeding heart liberal.

Yes, I am biased on this issue. My parents used to own a dry cleaner in multi-ethnic middle class neighborhood in Chicago and I have HUGE sympathy for Chungs. Whenever I look at them and see what they are going through, it tears my heart and remembering back when I help them out in our store. Luckily for us, we do not have a Judge suing for multi million $.

I see no evidence that the guy is racist. The fact that he is sueing someone for $54 million bucks over a pair of pants is idiotic and the fact he is still pursuing legal action against the Chungs is hateful however I have never heard him saying anything against Koreans in general. He may be a racist, I don’t know but publicly I see no evidence of it.

Pearson’s undergradate degree was earned at Lake Forest College and J.D. at Northwestern University School of Law. Upon graduation, he first taught at, then became assistant director of, the clinical program at the Georgetown University Law Center. Pearson passed the bar for the District of Columbia in 1978 and bar for theU.S. Supreme Court in 1985. (uh oh)

From 1978 to 2002, Pearson was the attourney for the Washington Neighborhood Legal Services Program, serving as the Assistant Director for Legal Operations from 1989 onwards. From 2003 to 2005, he was a contract hearing examiner for the Office of Police Complaints, and on May 2nd, 2005, Pearson was appointed as an administrative law judge for Washington D.C. (kind of stagnated on his way to the Supreme Court now hasn’t he?)

Accusations of Corruption

In 2004 Mr. Pearson was accused of corruption for giving his son’s girlfriend a city job - after which it was revealed Mr. Pearson was actually sleeping with his son’s girlfriend on regular occasion. During his tenure as an administrative judge for Washington DC he was accused of smoking crack cocaine in the courthouse washroom, an accusation supported by camera video that later went “missing” from the evidence room Mr. Pearson had access to himself

This is just simply a black racist hatred. That’s all there is to it. How else can you explain a man suing a small business owner (barely making fifty grand a year), for 54 million dollars? Surely he knows that even if he wins, there’s no way he’ll get that kind of money from a small mom and pop business barely making minimum wage. He’s doing this out of spite, out of hatred, out his desire to ruin the people, to make a silly childish racist point. If the judge was a Korean, and the dry cleaners blacks, then there would have been a loud of cry of Korean racism. But since that’s not the case, it’s just the ‘idiot judge’ causing problems, and all the American blacks stay silent, probably cheering on the judge.

Thanks for the advice, Boss!
