I am very-unlikely to link any of the nut-job Fitton’s filings, in the federal trial courts, here in Chicago. But be certain of this: I will link and quote at length the City of Evanston’s answer, when filed. [That’s probably about 45 days off now.]
According to The Daily Northwestern, here — loony Tom Fitton has recruited six non-African American Evanston residents to sign on to a specious strike suit, claiming that a city council vote to pay reparations (and the subsequent payments of $25,000 per family) violates the Fourteenth Amendment Equal Protection Clause, as to these six whyte people.
But as ever, young Tommie Fitton (having lost many a prior federal suit along these lines) hasn’t really thought his argument through, for if (as he claims) remedying past discrimination is not a compelling state interest, then his whyte plaintiffs cannot really complain when… discrimination happens to them. That’s an “oh, well… too bad” moment, at most — for them — worthy of some cluck-cluck — but little more.
His complaint specifically asserts the below, and I quote — in blue:
…Remedying societal discrimination is not a compelling governmental interest….
Of course, he is simply wrong on about 150 years of case law in the US, on this. But if he is right — his own complaint should be bounced immediately. These jamokes are… such idiots. [To be clear, there is a compelling state interest, in remedying discrimination. And cities are granted fairly wide latitude, by polling their electorate, as to how they might go about such remedies.] In sum, Fitton will lose, and lose — again.
And how small minded are these six sad, dead-ender mediocre whyte (former) Evanstonians? Sheesh.
Onward, grinning just the same. [They are known to me — but I will not disclose their identities, at least not yet. But eventually, they will be… outed — in federal court, as the Svenson filing has named them, by name. Charming. Utterly… charming.]
UPDATED, 2X: I will mention the public record (paid) lawyer, however, that is acting as the local counsel — for Fitton’s Judicial Watch fringe group. She is apparently a Palatine Village Trustee. She litigates against other cities, on the basis of specious claims — of reverse discrimination? Is this someone the people of Palatine want, as an elected Village Trustee? Let’s… find out, thus:
