Looks like we have a libertarian now.

Quote:
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.

Kozinski, known for his libertarian views and colorful written opinions, already had been accused of subjecting several women to a range of inappropriate sexual conduct or comments, and the circuit's chief judge on Thursday took the first step in launching an investigation into his behavior. The matter was assigned Friday to the 2nd Circuit judicial council.

That accusation is from ten years ago. Not just the event, the accusation. I think. She claims a disgruntled ex-employee (who she fired) made a false claim.

I have been a position of hiring and firing. In the discussions about firing, the main topic is "will he/she sue us?" "Will we be accused of racism, sexism, ageism, prejudice against the disabled, the obese, etc...." I've pretty much included 90% of the population....

It's easy to do, the employer almost always
settles.

Although you may have to right to fire at will, it's always a good idea to keep written documentation on problem people which is contemporaneous.

Settling a nuisance suit? or paying off?

Wasn't this settled when an executive in Hollywood stole ten grand from his company.

They fire a secretary who steals ten dollars but not an executive who steals ten grand.

Same principle with some young intern versus a senior staffer.

It will be interesting to see if this is a one-off incident or if there were more settlements.

Bill-O survived for years with everyone knowing what a creep he was. I know the climate has changed since then, but I have a hard time seeing how one settlement in 1999 is him "biting the dust."

And the lack of any link to an article in EB's post indicates that this may not be as serious as he wants it to be.

Isn't Geraldo still a correspondent on Fox? He apologized for his groping incident. It all depends on the particular case.
