> [@CarnalK](#): > > What? Of course it’s a fair statement. The firing was deemed illegal in a federal court. You’re just saying “but it wasn’t fair, they didn’t really try to defend it”. So what? It stands unless it’s overruled. Please. This is silly. Imagine you are at work. At the request of your boss, you take an action. It turns out to be an unpopular action. I file a suit against your employer, asserting that what you did was illegal. You are not a named party to the suit. Your employer, supremely embarrassed over the fallout, refuses to defend the suit, and allows judgment to be entered saying: “What CarnalK did at the request of the employer was illegal.” Now, I go out and spread the word that you have been found to have committed an illegal act. You are contemplating running for assistant dog catcher in your home town, but sadly, you are deemed to be unqualified for the position, because, after all, you did something illegal, as determined by a court. Would you not find this a bit unfair to you? :smack: --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-there-any-chance-that-trump-will-renominate-garland-for-the-scotus/771497)._
