Your link for don ahern is for ccsd. Why is ahern being racist an issue for the AG? If he wants to be racist, so be it.
Is this really where we should be putting taxpayer resources? To investigate alleged racists? Really?
Does Ahern do anything that involves public funds?
Likely he has pieces of publicly-funded projects
I agree. The lawsuit is done. The public can make their own opinion about Ahern. Ahern has a First Amendment right to speak his mind within Constitutional boundaries.
It is not illegal to be an a**hole.
Yes. Let’s expend public funds against a billionaire for allegedly exercising his first amendment rights. Sharpton can suck it. I think Ford is smart enough to avoid jumping at that dog whistle.
You don’t see how minorities might have a problem with this, or do dollars Trump racism?
What I do see (and clearly you fail to) is that how minorities FEEL about a person exercising free speech makes zero difference legally speaking. (What? Are you Boyd 2031?)
Which last time I checked, was not a fucking crime worthy of investigation by the State of Nevada’s top prosecutor.
You’ve clearly never heard of the court of public opinion, and how that may affect someone like Ahern. Publicity could accomplish what the law might allow.
Keep digging smarty pants, exactly where in the Nevada fucking Constitution does it say that the “court of public opinion” is within the purview of the State’s AG? Just stop before you drown.
I hereby release you from the iron grip of my logic.
@ 12:01
Say what? “court of public opinion”
Definitely not a lawyer, maybe Boydee
Please provide the authority that allows an attorney general to litgate cases in the court of public opinion.
I always question how someone with this level of reasoning can possibly be an attorney
Clearly you’ve never met my opposing counsels
Do I want the AG investigating Ahern? No. Do allegations of systemic discrimination in the workplace trigger certain investigatory agencies at the state level? Sure. Employers are free to say whatever they want as long as they are willing to bear the legal consequences.
Oh, come now. So the CEO and his worthless son used racial slurs. So did most of America at one point, and at least half of America some time later, including cops, employers, judges, attorneys, politicians, and educators. If we call Ahern’s use of it systemic, we would have to say racism among the American public was systemic, too. And we can’t do that because that hurts certain people’s feelings.
And even if we did, the despicable conduct alleged in the lawsuit is recent – Ahern wasn’t sued for being a racist in the 50s.
The issue is that the testimony says that he was basing hiring and firing decisions on race, sex, age and ethnicity. I dont care that he hates people. Totally cool with that. I hate people also. Illegal to base employment decisions on those criteria.
Even so, how is this within the purview of rhe attorney general’s powers?
It is not except to the extent that enforcement of Nevada employment laws are enforced by the State of Nevada.
A political subdivision of the State of Nevada. NEEOC, if you must know.
Family court update: judges who oppose ONJ accessing family court routinely cite privacy and child safety. Same judges ignore legal standards, the law, and the evidence to rule in favor of attorneys who make large donations to their campaigns. Makes you wonder if the judges are concerned about privacy and children or their own pockets?
Bill Henderson has to be scared for his legal career if people can watch his proceedings and realize how unfit he is for the bench
I’ve practiced in front of Henderson for years. He’s not unfit unless you consider the entire family court bench unfit which may not be an unfair assessment. That said, the reassignment has not been to a better judge. Go read 139 Nev., Ad. Op. 21.
Henderson has always been fair and pretty on point with the best interests of the children. He is also pretty good at seeing through peoples BS, calling them on it and ruling accordingly.
This case is worse for the wear with its new judge. Disaster pending.
Ok Karen. We all know who you are and the page you manage.
Darn it! I thought I had you fooled. You’re too clever for me.
Since the Nevada Current article appears to be plagiarized from the CNBC story from 7 weeks ago, lets pull the part that the Current omitted.
“The deposition was part of a larger legal battle between Ahern Rentals and several companies that accuse Ahern Rentals of participating in a massive, multistate fraud scheme involving the distribution of mobile solar generators. The architect of the Ponzi scheme was sentenced to 30 years in prison in 2021. But a group of companies sued Ahern Rentals in an effort to recover some of what they said was their lost money. That litigation is ongoing.”

Because that isn’t salient . . . . [at all].
🙄
Not salient that a local company got hit for $830 Million Dollars to being integral to a Ponzi scheme (DC Solar). Pretty sure that is noteworthy legal news.
Learn to deduce sarcasm. It will help you in life. You don’t question the omission of a salient phrase by the Nevada Current?
Learn to express sarcasm 1:40/8:33. I have to be honest that there was nothing in your comment that indicated sarcasm.
“I have to be honest there was nothing. . . . . ”
IFIFY, I missed the very obvious and clear signs of sarcasm. I am having a bad day.
So, the brackets and eyeroll emoji were not enough for you?
🤣🤣
ODYSSEY and Attorney Corner down for anyone else?
Nope. Just for you.
I keep a Trump bobble head on my office shelf. Everyone knows my position without me saying a word. I don’t need to nor do I want to. Even with my silent Trump bobble head, my co-worker told me that she donated to Kamala’s campaign. I pretended like I could not hear a word she was saying.
Ignoring reality is always a good strategy.
