Unless the SC grants certiori, that is, and that’s not going to happen.

It’s like the movie ‘Taken’, but with pants. Starring Vin Diesel as Roy Pearson and Scarlett Johansen as The Pants.

I can see it now…cameras following a wacky sue happy former judge in fight against the dry cleaning/pants steal cartel.

Think of it Roy Pearson’s way. He lost a prestigious job as a judge. His name is forever associated with the word “pants”. He’s been mocked in languages from English to Korean.

Roy Pearson, now, is like Roy Moore a few years ago. He’ll get cert against those dry cleaners, or die trying.

“Call me the Ishmael of pants.”

That’s what, a mere five years that the defendants have been dealing with this? And they say that you can’t get justice in the courts.
