Talk:Alan Bersin

Additions

I don't have time to expand this article but the following website has a long article about Mr. Bersin and would be a really good reference for any expansion. http://www.sdjewishjournal.com/stories/cover_sept03.html and I have added the link to the list of external links

Criticism section

My critism is what is omitted. I have nothing to add, but since he was born in 1946, I would like to know about his military service or lack thereof since he was prime fodder in 1968 or 69 when he should have completed his 4 years. Is he another oxford draft dodger or high draft number or what? His biography deserves attention for this critical period in history. He may have even served honorably, but no way to know. It may not be important to most, but it certainly is to millions in that age bracket. that is all. delete if this quest for information offends you in any way. It will say much more about the deleter than me anyway. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.82.9.12 (talk) 18:14, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

I have deleted the following material because:

• It's unsourced
• It doesn't seem to be noteworthy; cases get removed all the time
• If there is a controversy about this subject matter, the section should be entitled "controversy" and described what's controversial about it.

==Criticism== :During Bersin's employment with the federal court system in San Diego, he and his associate ("Mssr. Plaxico," as listed in the court papers) allowed a [[superior court]] matter to be removed to the federal court system and a federal employee be made a federally protected person, such protection due to his (the defendant's) federal employment and allowed under US Code, Title 28, Section 1441. Bersin also allowed a [[defendant]] who was not a federal employee to be listed as a federally protected person, a serious breach of court etiquette. Only one defendant was granted federal protection from [[litigation]], the inclusion of another just the manipulation of corrupt court officers. :Shortly after this case was heard by Judge Marilyn Huff Bersin quit working for the federal government and got a local San Diego job with the school district.

I'm not saying there's no controversy here, just that the section must be written to reflect this and sourced. rewinn 22:39, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

No, "criticism's" better. This particular matter led to so much bad state legislation, the closure of the San Diego federal Office of Personnel Management, the Bersin-izing of local education, it goes on and on and gets worse.

You'll notice that this article glosses over Bersin's past employment in the federal court, as if people will forget about it. That's deliberate? This specific case was remanded from the appellate court to Bersin twice, someone else noticed the tampering, too. My guess is it's deliberate.

And it doesn't matter if you disagree on whether or not this is controversial because it's true. It's veracity takes it beyond petty bickering.
