I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

In other words, it was impossible for the plaintiffs to show that every single woman was the victim of discrimination when Wal-Mart left most decisions up to regional managers, many of them women, overseeing 3,400 individual stores.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> “In a company of Wal-Mart’s size and geographical scope, it is quite unbelievable that all managers would exercise their discretion in a common way without some common direction. Respondents attempt to make that showing by means of statistical and anecdotal evidence, but their evidence falls well short.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote for the minority dissent on the part of the opinion that set tougher standards for future suits. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED’s Joshua Johnson interviewed Brad Seligman, attorney for the Berkeley-based \u003ca href=\"http://www.impactfund.org/\">Impact Fund\u003c/a>, representing the workers.

It’s bad news and we’re very disappointed in it. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s a very important point here I want to make: The court did not rule that Walmart is not guilty of discrimination. It didn’t even address that. It made a procedural decision about whether there can be a class action or not. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, I want to say this to all the women who worked at Walmart at any time since December 26, 1998: This case is not over. Under well-established rules, any women who had a claim of denial of equal pay or promotion into management at any time since December 26, 1998, those claims today are not too late to bring… We’ve already interviewed over 12,000 women around the country, we’re getting thousands more contacting us.

Under well-established rules, any women who had a claim of denial of equal pay or promotion into management at any time since December 26, 1998, those claims today are not too late to bring… We’ve already interviewed over 12,000 women around the country, we’re getting thousands more contacting us.

Marman, a graduate of Lincoln High in San Francisco, is the 20-year-old college football player who was \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2011/06/17/BA5F1JV3LJ.DTL\">removed\u003c/a> from a US Airways flight at SFO because he allegedly ignored an airline employee's request to pull up sweatpants hanging low enough to expose his underwear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chief Deputy DA Wagstaffe explained that Marman has not yet been charged with any crime and that prosecutors will be reviewing the case between now and the July 18 arraignment. He said his office had asked for additional accounts of the incident from airline personnel and passengers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police took Marman into custody on suspicion of three crimes: battery on a police officer, a felony, and resisting arrest and trespassing, both misdemeanors. He faces up to four years in state prison on the battery charge, and one year and six months, respectively, in a county jail for resisting arrest and trespassing. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wagstaffe said he had seen cases arising from confrontations at security checkpoints, but couldn't remember ever prosecuting one stemming from a problem on the plane itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interestingly enough, at the end of the interview, the chief deputy DA volunteered the following:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"We're not deciding how somebody wears their clothing is a crime. Because it's not. What we're deciding is whether or not there was an interaction that occurred (where) there was conduct by Mr. Marman that violated the laws in his dealing with the police and with the personnel there. That's what we're looking at. This has nothing to do with whether it's inappropriate for somebody to wear their clothing in a certain way.

Marman, a graduate of Lincoln High in San Francisco, is the 20-year-old college football player who was \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2011/06/17/BA5F1JV3LJ.DTL\">removed\u003c/a> from a US Airways flight at SFO because he allegedly ignored an airline employee's request to pull up sweatpants hanging low enough to expose his underwear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chief Deputy DA Wagstaffe explained that Marman has not yet been charged with any crime and that prosecutors will be reviewing the case between now and the July 18 arraignment. He said his office had asked for additional accounts of the incident from airline personnel and passengers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police took Marman into custody on suspicion of three crimes: battery on a police officer, a felony, and resisting arrest and trespassing, both misdemeanors. He faces up to four years in state prison on the battery charge, and one year and six months, respectively, in a county jail for resisting arrest and trespassing. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wagstaffe said he had seen cases arising from confrontations at security checkpoints, but couldn't remember ever prosecuting one stemming from a problem on the plane itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interestingly enough, at the end of the interview, the chief deputy DA volunteered the following:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"We're not deciding how somebody wears their clothing is a crime. Because it's not. What we're deciding is whether or not there was an interaction that occurred (where) there was conduct by Mr. Marman that violated the laws in his dealing with the police and with the personnel there. That's what we're looking at. This has nothing to do with whether it's inappropriate for somebody to wear their clothing in a certain way. That's not of interest to us.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/06/pantswagstaff.mp3\">\u003cstrong>Listen to the interview\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

On the contrary: it is reasonable to presume that a female judge or a judge in a same-sex relationship is capable of rising above any personal predisposition and deciding such a case on the merits. The Motion fails to cite any evidence that Judge Walker would be incapable of being impartial, but to presume that Judge Walker was incapable of being impartial, without concrete evidence to support that presumption, is inconsistent with what is required under a reasonableness standard.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>These cases lead the Court to adopt the following legal conclusion: In a case that could affect the general public based on the circumstances or characteristics of various members of that public, the fact that a federal judge happens to share the same circumstances or characteristic and will only be affected in a similar manner because the judge is a member of the public, is not a basis for disqualifying the judge under Section 455(b)(4).\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The fact that this is a case challenging a law on equal protection and due process grounds being prosecuted by members of a minority group does not mean that members of the minority group have a greater interest in equal protection and due process than the rest of society. In our society, a variety of citizens of different backgrounds coexist because we have constitutionally bound ourselves to protect the fundamental rights of one another from being violated by unlawful treatment. Thus, we all have an equal stake in a case that challenges the constitutionality of a restriction on a fundamental right.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Defendant-Intervenors contend that consideration of the fact that Judge Walker “has\u003cbr>\nbeen involved in a 10-year (8-year at the time that Plaintiffs commenced this suit) committed same-sex relationship” would lead a reasonable person to question Judge Walker’s impartiality. The Court finds that disqualification under Section 455(a) on the basis of this fact fails, because it depends upon the assumption that a judge who is in a relationship has an interest in getting married which is so powerful that it would render that judge incapable of performing his duties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under Ninth Circuit law, however, this assumption is unreasonable. A well-informed, thoughtful observer would recognize that the mere fact that a judge is in a relationship with another person–whether of the same or the opposite sex–does not ipso facto imply that the judge must be so interested in marrying that person that he would be unable to exhibit the impartiality which, it is presumed, all federal judges maintain...To assume otherwise is to engage in speculation about a judge’s motives and desires on the basis of an unsubstantiated suspicion that the judge is personally biased or prejudiced. Mere speculation of that nature does not trigger the recusal requirements of Section 455(a). \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Update 4 p.m.\u003c/em> Scott Shafer interviewed UC Davis law professor Vik Amar about the ruling today, and Amar made the following point: Judge Ware's decision alludes to the lack of certainty that Judge Walker, who is in a long-term, same-sex relationship, had a desire to get married. One of Ware's reasons for denying the motion to vacate is that because Walker didn't \u003cem>necessarily\u003c/em> have that desire, he didn't have to recuse himself. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what if, Amar says, Walker had publicly expressed an interest in getting married? Would there then have been an obligation on his part to recuse himself?

The Motion fails to cite any evidence that Judge Walker would be incapable of being impartial, but to presume that Judge Walker was incapable of being impartial, without concrete evidence to support that presumption, is inconsistent with what is required under a reasonableness standard.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>These cases lead the Court to adopt the following legal conclusion: In a case that could affect the general public based on the circumstances or characteristics of various members of that public, the fact that a federal judge happens to share the same circumstances or characteristic and will only be affected in a similar manner because the judge is a member of the public, is not a basis for disqualifying the judge under Section 455(b)(4).\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The fact that this is a case challenging a law on equal protection and due process grounds being prosecuted by members of a minority group does not mean that members of the minority group have a greater interest in equal protection and due process than the rest of society. In our society, a variety of citizens of different backgrounds coexist because we have constitutionally bound ourselves to protect the fundamental rights of one another from being violated by unlawful treatment. Thus, we all have an equal stake in a case that challenges the constitutionality of a restriction on a fundamental right.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Defendant-Intervenors contend that consideration of the fact that Judge Walker “has\u003cbr>\nbeen involved in a 10-year (8-year at the time that Plaintiffs commenced this suit) committed same-sex relationship” would lead a reasonable person to question Judge Walker’s impartiality. The Court finds that disqualification under Section 455(a) on the basis of this fact fails, because it depends upon the assumption that a judge who is in a relationship has an interest in getting married which is so powerful that it would render that judge incapable of performing his duties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under Ninth Circuit law, however, this assumption is unreasonable. A well-informed, thoughtful observer would recognize that the mere fact that a judge is in a relationship with another person–whether of the same or the opposite sex–does not ipso facto imply that the judge must be so interested in marrying that person that he would be unable to exhibit the impartiality which, it is presumed, all federal judges maintain...To assume otherwise is to engage in speculation about a judge’s motives and desires on the basis of an unsubstantiated suspicion that the judge is personally biased or prejudiced. Mere speculation of that nature does not trigger the recusal requirements of Section 455(a). \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Update 4 p.m.\u003c/em> Scott Shafer interviewed UC Davis law professor Vik Amar about the ruling today, and Amar made the following point: Judge Ware's decision alludes to the lack of certainty that Judge Walker, who is in a long-term, same-sex relationship, had a desire to get married. One of Ware's reasons for denying the motion to vacate is that because Walker didn't \u003cem>necessarily\u003c/em> have that desire, he didn't have to recuse himself. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

If you don't follow policy, that's usually when trouble starts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's a lot at stake in what happened in Alameda on Memorial Day, for the country. It shows what happens when we allow ourselves to be straitjacketed by rules rather than governed by principles. The changes that need to happen mostly have already happened – the commander on the scene now has discretion to send people into the water. I understand 30 firefighters have volunteered to be trained in water rescue; and they're not getting extra pay. So the policy administratively has been changed, water rescue training is happening, money has been released. \u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">It is embarrassing; it was not Alameda's finest hour. \u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>There are a lot of reasons why the City of Alameda got to where it did that day. I'm not saying that to excuse it at all. It's unacceptable what happened. It won't happen again. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We are going to retain an outside fire or police chief, somebody with some gray hair in the public safety area who is going to review all of the history of how we got to Crown Beach that day so we can learn how it doesn't happen again, because it is embarrassing, it was not Alameda's finest hour. \u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">We're a highly litigious society. Everybody wants to stay within the four corners connecting the dots of policy.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The issue is broader than what just happened here. Policies are supposed to be an organized way that you implement the principles of what you believe in as a people. What you believe your government is supposed to be working toward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What has happened for many reasons -- I say this as an attorney -- but we're a highly litigious society both in terms of third parties suing cities and in terms of city employees suing cities. Everybody wants to stay within the four corners connecting the dots of policy, because as a public official or as a public employee, if you follow policy, it's almost impossible to lose your job or be demoted. \u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">We need to give our people a little more leeway to do what's right rather than what conforms to policy.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>It's when you step out of that straitjacket and you take a chance, if things don't go perfectly well, that's when you're subject to the lawsuit, that's when you're subject to discipline. So if you're the commander on the scene, and you tell the guys, 'I don't care if you haven't had training, get in the water,' you don't know if you're going to have a grievance, you don't know what's going to happen. I'm not saying that's what would have happened here, but that's the bureaucratic culture, and that is not limited to Alameda. That is all over California local government. And it really needs to be examined and changed. We need to give our people a little more leeway to do what's right rather than what conforms to policy. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of why the public is so frustrated -- the public looks at it and says, we're paying for all these guys who are supposed to be saving lives, but all they want to do is go by the book. The problem is if you're a member of the public whose property is damaged or whose loved one is hurt when a public safety employee doesn't go by the book, you might be the person suing. So in a real way, all of us in America are partially accountable for the culture we live in and how we got to there. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Again, I don't say that to excuse or explain what happened that day. What happened that day was a failure, it was unacceptable, and it will not happen again.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Click here for \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/tag/alameda-drowning/\">more on the Alameda drowning\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n",
