JUDGE ROBERT SCOLA TO TAKE SENIOR STATUS

 DOM broke the story that Judge Scola is taking senior status as of October 31 this year.  2023. OMG HE'S TAKING SENIOR STATUS 2023 ABOUT 500 PEOPLE WROTE TO TELL US THAT. IT'S 2023 GOT IT? NOT 2022. OK? IS THAT CLEAR??

We pause to think that Janet Reno ran a pretty great office with great prosecutors, many of whom went on to become great judges. 

Bob Scola is at the top of that list. Along with Lenny Glick, Rob Pinero, Jerald Bagley, Jackie Scola, Marilyn Milian (whose TV career short-circuited what would have been a brilliant judicial career), Tom Peterson, Ted Mastos, Sam Slom, Gerry (Hawk) Hubbard, Leslie Rothenberg, Katie Pooler, Johnny Kastrenakes, Bill Altfield,  along with many others. 

Who are we missing? Reno era prosecutors who went on to become Judges? 

JUDGE SCOLA RECUSAL- A DECISION FOR THE AGES

Judge Scola is a great judge. But that merely scratches the surface of the man.
The following order of recusal places Judge Scola in the pantheon of great federal judges like his former colleague Judge Gleeson of the EDNY. 
However, more significantly, Judge Scola is a man who when he sees a wrong does not refrain from speaking out. As John Kennedy said in a speech in which he quoted Edmund Burke: "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

Judge Scola is a great man. And he did something. He didn't remain silent in the face of the "immoral and barbaric" actions of an insurance company. 

Well done Judge Scola. Well done indeed.
