| ironman said: unfortunately that is not the way it works my friend. The court will rule in favor of the less fortunate over a large corperation 9 times out of 10. And with the government making this mandatory, and profitable by backing the bad loans with our tax dollars, where is the incentive to do the right thing? |
Sorry, that is total bullshit. Do you practice law? Do you know anything about the legal system?
Discrimination cases are usually tried in federal court. A federal court judge is much more likely to rule for the defendant at the summary judgment level than a state court judge. And you have to show specific discriminatory intent or systematic discrimination in terms of the end results of policies the companies have.
And juries in federal court are typically more conservative than in state court. They draw people from the outlying suburbs during jury selection more readily than in state court, which tends to get more people from the inner cities. Federal court juries are typically more skeptical of these type of claims than your average juror.
So, no, judges do not just rubber stamp discrimination claims.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
