Have there been questions regarding Alito's response to Sodomization case?
Edited on Wed Jan-11-06 04:48 PM by shance
Approval in a case of the attempted sodomization a mentally handicapped man with a broomhandle

In the case of Kenneth Pirolli v. World Flavors, Inc., the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission intervened on behalf of Pirolli, a retarded man who complained of his workplace and presented "evidence that another one of Pirolli's co-workers, Harley Strauss, 'attempted to push a broom pole into (Pirolli's) behind as other staff watched." <http://www.eeoc.gov/briefs/pirolli.txt >.

Alito's response:

"Pirolli's brief never asserts that his work environment was one that a reasonable, non-retarded person would find hostile or abusive."

<http://www.supremecourtwatch.org/Pirolli2.pdf >.

2. Yes, I think it was Kennedy today
The case was turned down because Alito said the lawyer didn't prepare the brief properly.

6. I heard it this morning
Some Dem brought it up...He said he ruled against because of the poor job the guy's lawyer had done at filing the correct papers with the court. Had nothong to do with his feelings on the case. Sorry I can't remember more than that.
