Chapter 491, digging a pit
Bob wasn't left in the house. Alan Shaw will not allow his client to be removed from the house.
The alimony was eventually negotiated at $1,200, which lasted until Lyons came of age, and Bob was required to pay Mary $470 a month until Mary died or remarried.
Counting all the other miscellaneous things, the end result is that Bob loses his property and car, pays Mary $1,840 a month, has visitation rights to his son Leon, and can pick up his son to live with him one day a week.
The two sides did not get into trouble to the point of going to court, so it was a good gathering and dispersal. Bob didn't show up the whole time, he was a trapeze artist, flying around and interviewing the people who wrote checks in Brooklyn.
Bob is divorced, and Brooklyn still hasn't received the letter he wants. And the time has come to June 17th.
The New York incident slowed down again. The minions and some of the enemies that were easy to clean up have been cleaned up by Harvard and the military, and all that is left are a few behemoths and diehards.
The situation in New York has also improved. Winston has returned from Boston and is back to work.
The temporary stabilization of the situation was a relief for everyone. Winston finally had time to do something the governor should do.
Frank resumes attending cigar club parties. Brooklyn's whitewashing plan had been launched, but the chess piece he needed most had not moved, which made him wonder.
He had to call the Committee to ask if he had any complaints against him. Brooklyn wasn't going to wait any longer, he needed to know the results immediately and start over.
[There is only one truth] is like a sword of Damocles that hangs over his head all the time, which makes him feel uneasy.
Brooklyn contacted Jack Calvin. This stubborn and sensible little old man was one of the few who didn't force Brooklyn to deliver on his promise.
In addition to the common problems of a few older people such as the love of educating young people, objectively speaking, Calvin is very good to Brooklyn.
A young person of low status is easily supported by people, and countless people will play the role of mentors and help young people.
It's not that young people are charismatic or exude a domineering spirit, but that 'mentors' are happy to play the role of mentors, selecting talented young people to support, in addition to leaving a good reputation, but also reserving talents for themselves.
Young people are still young, and they can only stand with themselves for a short time, and they will not stand on another hill and go out independently.
By the time the young people grow up to be qualified to set up another mountain, maybe the dregs of the 'mentors' will rot in their bones.
I haven't heard of anyone in their forties or fifties who can often meet people's support and guidance. Brooklyn is an exception.
He's not like the average young man. Politics is a special profession, and in this circle, forty years old is a young talent, fifty years old is considered a young talent, and sixty years old is the mainstay.
Brooklyn is Chinese New Year's Eve. He was too young. But his achievements are not light, and his status is worth a lot of shame for most seniors.
Since he became Speaker of the Harvard Congress, no one has ever talked about his age, and no one will ever think of him as a thirty-year-old anymore.
His future opponents and teammates will ignore his age. From this point of view, Calvin's attitude towards him is even more rare.
But Brooklyn didn't have the heart to listen to Calvin right now. He asked bluntly
"Calvin, have you gotten any complaints about me lately?"
"How do you know?" Calvin asked, and then reacted, this is nonsense.
"I'm in a hurry, Calvin." Brooklyn spoke just in time, blocking what Calvin was about to say.
Listening to Calvin's reaction, Brooklyn had already sorted out what had happened. It's not that Ms. Gracie is timid and doesn't dare to complain about Brooklyn, it's that the complaint against Brooklyn has been suppressed and she doesn't even look at it.
Brooklyn told Calvin not to block his complaints, and that the woman named Gracie Pamela would complain about him again, and he would be allowed to go.
Less than two hours after the call, Webster received a call from the Judicial Conduct Commission.
On the phone, a woman, on behalf of the Committee on Judicial Conduct, was the first to congratulate Brooklyn on her assumption of the title of Harvard Speaker, and then to express her concern for Ms. Gracie Pamela on behalf of the Committee on Judicial Conduct.
The lady was very interested in e.. Y expressed concern about the specific situation and asked if there had been any complaints made by Ms. Gracie Pamela in Brooklyn.
Brooklyn said on the phone
"I'm not any of them, in my eyes, e.. y's work is the most important. Who I favor or who I'm ready to punish will only be because they did their job well or went wrong. โ
"We are on the front line of judicial practice, and one of our negligences may be just a punctuation mark or a letter issue, but it may have an irreversible and serious impact on one family, or even several families."
"We don't tolerate any negligence or mistakes. Because our negligence is to make our citizens pay a huge price for us. โ
"So, ma'am, I'm not going to keep Gracie Pamela, not because she's a woman, not because she's a minority, and not because she's a sexual minority โ which, honestly, I probably won't know for the rest of my life if you don't say it โ simply because something went wrong with her job. I judged that she did not have what it took to be a judge, and that was it. Nothing else. โThe woman had just spoken to Brooklyn with Ms. Gracie Pamela's letter of complaint unchanged.
In the letter, she said that Brooklyn was not only treated differently because her biological sex was female, but also because she was not a pure-blood white man, with one-thirty-second Indian blood flowing in her body, and of course, the most important thing was that she was psychologically recognized as a male, but Brooklyn repeatedly hinted at him and harassed her in the workplace.
In federal politics, workplace harassment is a serious allegation. Even Mr. President would fold on this, let alone a judge.
"Ma'am." Brooklyn was silent for a moment, then said with some hesitation
"I have some things that are a little hard to talk about. I hope to have your professional advice, and I hope that what I will say next will not be passed on until I make a decision. The lady from the Harvard Council immediately responded.
Getting the promise, Brooklyn swallowed, sounding nervous, and he organized his words before he spoke
"Can I sue Tracy Pamela for harassment in my workplace?"
"What?" Rao is the lady of the committee had already smelled something unusual from it, and was still stunned when she heard Brooklyn's words.
"I know, it's hard to understand." Brooklyn said shyly
"Most people have the impression that women in the workplace are the ones who are on the weak side."
"But based on my work experience, that's not the case. Due to self-esteem, face and other reasons, men often encounter much more serious workplace harassment than women in the workplace, but they can only swallow their anger and keep silent. โ
"Because if you say it, not only will no one believe it, but you may lose your job and be blamed by people."
"I'm hesitant, am I going to say it?" Brooklyn asked
"Tracy Pamela had hinted at going to my house late at night to deliver materials, and the day after I refused, her job went awry. Before that, many people reported to me that Pamela was looking at me wrongly. In private, Tracy Pamela has also said a lot of shocking things. Forty minutes later, Brooklyn hung up the phone contentedly.
Brooklyn thought about it for a moment, summoned Nelly, asked her to look up groups related to the protection of men's rights, and he himself took the initiative to call the Women's Alliance.
Tracy's reaction was all expected in Brooklyn, but it was slightly more unexpected that Brooklyn didn't expect Tracy's ingredients to be so complex and correct.
Mixed Indian ancestry, biological sex female, cognitive gender male, it is estimated that there is any transvestite, or a homo-x love - although her biological sex is female, but the psychological gender is male, she thinks she is a man, and she likes men, what is not g?
However, in Brooklyn's opinion, these layers of buffs on Tracy's body are about equal to nothing. The federal government officials rely on the votes, and it is the voters who put them in this position, so they dare not offend the voters, dare not say the wrong thing, and these buff halos are extremely lethal to them.
Not so for Brooklyn. He didn't rely on votes, and he might have had to worry about Mr. President using him for fear that his approval rating would drop and he would be snubbed, but now that Brooklyn has his own base, he doesn't need to curry favor with the president at all.
These buffs are not lethal to him. Brooklyn called the Women's League for Tracy's complaint.
He had to confirm from the committee that Tracy had a complaint before he could make the call and be the first to do so.
"I understand from a part of the public information that e.. Tracy Pamela of Y is one of your members. Brooklyn came up and said directly
"I wonder how you deal with members harassing others in the workplace?" Brooklyn's words blinded the operator on the other side.
It took a while for the other side to react
"Hello, sir, can you tell me your name?"
"I'm Brooklyn Lee, E. A judge of Y. Brooklyn said.
"Please wait a minute." There was a waiting sound from the opposite side, and about two minutes later, another voice came from the earpiece.
"Hello, Judge Brooklyn."
"No, I'm not good at all." Brooklyn said without giving face
"One of your members has repeatedly harassed me in the workplace in the name of the Women's Alliance, and explicitly hinted that she wanted to play cards with me, and she threatened me with this if I didn't agree."
Of course she didn't say it directly, don't be stupid, who will say it directly? She made a deliberate mistake the next day, and I almost lost my job. In view of her ability to work, I had to prepare to apply to the Judicial Conduct Commission for 'dismissal', but she threatened me in her gender and other capacities, and by the time we called, she had presumably already sent a letter of complaint against me to the Judicial Conduct Commission. "Federal judges are for life and cannot be dismissed except for their own resignation or major mistakes.
But what is a major mistake? Brooklyn said a lot, dumbfounding the other side. A powerful chief justice, just being complained about by a subordinate female judge, is it such a fuss, as for it?
The federal society always demands more social responsibility from those who are able, less social responsibility from the weak, no social responsibility from the incapable, and negative social responsibility from those with negative ability - they are weak, so whatever they do will be tolerated.
- Isn't it just robbing your wallet, you're so rich, he's just a bum, what's wrong with robbing him twice?
This is the "simple" sense of justice and right and wrong of the people of the Federation. It is also a manifestation that the contradiction between the rich and the poor in the federal society has intensified to a peak - the federal people no longer pay attention to the essence of the matter, they pay attention to the rich and poor on both sides, the rich are at fault, no matter what happens to them, they are at fault, the poor are innocent, no matter what they do, they are innocent.
There are many distorted concepts of right and wrong caused by the intensification of similar contradictions to the apex. Men and women are together, but whenever there is a contradiction, regardless of the reason, people will first persuade men to be generous and let women, but whenever there is something, people will subconsciously think that men are sorry for women.
Open the global limit and open the 11 bus together, but where there is a contradiction, people will subconsciously feel that it is the fault of the global limit, the 11 bus in the eyes of people is pitiful, weak and helpless, white lotus like a love in love, bullied.
It's not a human problem, it's a government problem. The federal government has not taken on the responsibilities of a manager, a 'patriarch', he is like a drunkard mother or a gambler father, like all irresponsible parents, who does not fulfill his guardianship responsibilities, which leads to the wild growth of 'children' and the intensification of conflicts.
The situation of multiple contradictions such as the Federation intensifying together is basically equivalent to the cancer cells spreading to every organ in the body - it is terminally ill and hopeless.
Brooklyn did not have a great idea to save the Union, he just wanted to take advantage of the intensification of contradictions to make some benefits for himself.
He is not Ray, he does not have lofty ideals, and he is not ready to fight for them all his life.
-- Striving for lofty ideals all your life is the same as other beautiful and beautiful slogans, but it is as simple as climbing to the sky.
Not surprisingly, Brooklyn and the Women's League broke up. He asked the other party to give him an explanation, and the women's league felt that the judge might be mentally ill and suggested that he go to the psychiatric department for a check-up and then go to a nursing home for a while.
Fortunately, Brooklyn didn't expect them to solve the problem in the first placeโif they did agree to help solve the problem, Brooklyn would be blind.
Hanging up the phone, Brooklyn looked at Ms. Gracie Pamela's information on the computer, combined with the contents of the complaint letter read to him by the lady of the Judicial Conduct Committee, and picked and chose all the organizations that Ms. Gracie Pamela belonged to or might have delivered the letters.
