[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Liman actually hasn’t been a federal judge for very long, he’s a Trump appointee.  And a nepotism baby, just like Blake.

I don’t think anyone said he was corrupt, just incredibly biased.  He’s already been sanctioned once and had a decision reversed in another matter where he failed to disclose his financial interest in one of the parties.

I don't think you know what a nepo baby is. It's not someone whose parent worked in the same field. A huge number of judge had lawyers for parents. Just like a lot of doctors had parents who were doctors. Unless the parent is in a position to directly hire or force the hiring of their kid, that's not nepotism so much as statistics. People do what they know.

I am unaware of Blake's parents' jobs, but the fact that I've never heard of either of them indicates that she is not a nepo baby on the level of say Gwyneth Paltrow (who was cast in her first several jobs because her dad was a big deal Hollywood producer and Steven Spielberg was a close family friend and her godfather) or Maude Apatow (who got her start in acting as a child appearing in her dad's films and just directed her first feature film starring her famous mom, a project for which she never would have gotten financing or studio support if she wasn't an Apatow).

We can't start calling everyone who didn't grow up in abject poverty or who selects the same or similar field as one of their parents a nepo baby. That would make half the population nepo babies. [/quote]

Sweetie, Blake’s first film appearance was in a film directed by her dad.  She’s a nepo baby.[/quote]

Never heard of him or that movie, sorry.

In any case, Judge Liman is definitely not a nepo baby. I am aware of his background and know who his dad was and that doesn't count. That's like saying my [excellent] neurologist is a nepo baby because her father was also a doctor. It's nonsense.[/quote]
