He’s wearing his fedora indoors? Horrors! *snark off*

This is also an Administrative Law Judge (retired, hearing cases on senior status) who is used to hearing small cases.  He’s not heard of Brandenberg v Ohio and has no reason to have heard of it – reading the order, he’s probably got some part-time court reporter and no clerk.

So going in there and trying to fight every single point by point is going to come off as combative and aggressive, something he’s seen time and time again and it meant he should issue the damn order.  Having skipped the initial hearing, that’s going to be the presumption in any court in the country.  Going in and announcing you are Yale Law to a judge who graduated from Maryland Law isn’t going to earn you any leeway.

He’ll have it overturned with legal help. But Kimberlin’s already won the point, because now Aaron must always answer “yes” on the application question, “have you ever been arrested?”  Not good for an out-of-work lawyer hunting a job.

Never talk to the police, and never represent yourself.  You just cannot win in either situation.

I prefer to think that Walker “took one for the team”.
Let’s face it; the other guy’s “liberal activist” scam is toast.

Isn’t the fact that Aaron Walker is not responsible for what others do on the internet “black letter law” in Maryland?
“The judge then said that Walker was the type who didn’t want to get into it “mano-y-mano” with Kimberlin….”
Is the judge suggesting that Walker should have gone to Kimberlin’s house called him out into the street and settled this “like men”? Not a bad idea actually, except that whole assault thingy. Ruling that Walker “incited” others to harass and threaten seems a much higher burden particularly given MD law. As Pablo writes at IBD’s blog, “I sincerely hope that Walker’s appeal of this ruling lands in front of the same judge that overturned the first peace order. Kimberlin will have fun explaining why he just went and got another one.”

If it works for Tabitha Hale…

 The judge almost did say that – he mentioned when he grew up in Brooklyn, you ‘d get a few guys, pick him up in a truck and drive down by the river to sort things out, which sounds to me like he’s suggesting a beat-down, but not in so many words.

Again, this guy isn’t even a district court judge, he’s an administrative judge.  The equivalent of small claims or traffic court.  He’s not going to be up on precedents or have a clerk to look it up for him.  Aaron and Kimberlin snowed him with a bunch of stuff he didn’t understand – volumes of it, almost, so the default position is, grant the damned injunction.  Just because it just looks bad if you vacate it and the guy kills the plaintiff.  Very messy, awkward moments at the county banquet.

Plus, you had Aaron annoying the crap out of him, even after being warned.  What the heck does anyone expect to happen?

 Hey–I sleep in mine.

That’s why it’s best to get those things out of your system while young.

 Any decent attorney will be able to get this vacated within a week.  I hope that AW is able to avail himself to one.

An appeal would accept the judgement of the court — too many issues at question for that.*

*not an attorney — just someone who has had too many experiences in civil court matters.

I was starting to wonder when I got to the part about grabbing the ipad.

But Kimberlin is a sleaze, any way you cut it.

 Ali Akbar has set up a rally.org fundraising page, but I can’t find the specific link right now.  Will try to search history later.

I’ve had the same experience as Darleen.

I’ve been looking at job applications for twenty+ years and it has changed what gets asked.  Our ones used to ask the ‘arrest’ question, but that was deemed ‘prejudicial’.  There’s even talk of banning us from asking the ‘convicted’ question using the same foolish logic.

There’s also a link for PayPal, which I don’t have with me.  If you look at my posting entitled ‘OUTRAGE…’ it’s at the bottom of it.

That’s particualrly true in a state like North Carolina. In NC you can got to a Magistrate and swaer out a warrant for anything. The Deputies then take it and arrest you. I got it when a neighbor got mad at me for some unknown reason and charged me with cruelty to animals and never showed up at court. I had to appear 4 times before the charge was dismissed. Over half of all district court cases where I live are filed for sheer harassment and the state has done nothing about a very serious problem.

The fact that the Judge was not a real trial judge should have disqualified him for the hearing. The term “Adminstrative Law Judge” is a serious mislabelling of a sorry product anyway, and there really is no such thing as adminstrative law anyway, not in the sense they aresupposed to be dealing with things.

Adjoran, that’s just one more check box for the outrage list. The man is clearly unqualified, and he did not do his duty to actually familiarize himself with teh background of the issues either. The man needs to be sent home and possibly jailed himself.

Looks like my setup except I have a huge coffee cup in place of the cough syrup …

The exasperation Walker is evidently showing in court came through loud and clear in his 28000 word ‘primer’

The agitator has him agitated.

They really should call ALJ’s what they are: Glorified Clerk Magistrates.

 Like I said, a Far Rockaway schmuck.  Explains a lot.

 Coz’ everyone knows all that really matters is, “did you have to do the full ride?”
