$65 Million Lawsuit Over Missing Pants

A judge in Washington DC is suing his former dry cleaners over a pair of missing pants. According to the story, a judge took several suits into a dry cleaner for alteration. When he came to pick up these items, one pair of pants were lost. He demanded that the owners buy him a new suit. After finding the pants a few days later, they refused.

I say if you are even slightly inconvenienced you need to sue. You may be asking the same question I asked, how does a pair of pants equal out to $65 million?

Well, the story states the suit filled, the judge no longer wanted to use his neighborhood dry cleaner. So $15,000 of the suit calls for the price to rent a car every weekend for 10 years to go to another business. Then the main bulk is his interpretation of D.C.'s consumer protection law, which fines violators $1,500 per violation, per day. 12 violations over 1,200 days, and then multiplied that by three defendants.

Well this has convinced me that this judge needs to be rewarded for being a total ass.

The story also mentioned that this has upset many people, and want this judge to be removed from his position and disbarred.

I concur
