Letter: Can’t get a job, so sue? Throw that case out
Op-Ed · April 16, 2015
In light of last week’s news accounts about the conservative woman suing the University of Iowa over not getting a job while at the same time of her bringing suit she was entering into a book contract to publish a public airing of the matter — and my having been in the dark from the start as to why this matter was allowed to go forth in the court in the first place.
Were I the judge I would dismiss the case for lack of standing on the part of the litigant and would not accommodate the use of a court of justice for a political agenda she is entitled to pursue on her own in the court of public opinion with the political support of like-leaning others that care to make a case.
The litigant’s going forward doth make a mockery of justice under law that ought be reserved as a day in court for those suffering real personal injury in place of just posturing in book publication some general grievance apparently coming from the University of Iowa College of Law failing to have on staff a brain that sufficiently functions enough like that of the lady that is suing.
As for myself, if I had at all times personally taken my own case with sufficient self-interest I would have demanded that the law recognized me over any others for anything I cared to do because I am the very only me on Earth that thinks enough like I do.
By the way, does the university have a vegetarian among its dieticians, and let us not forget for the love of litigation the vegans and totally committed carnivores?
I am a U of Iowa alum via completion of graduation requirements, and not court order.
