In the midst of handing down a defeat to a former public defender who sued the U.S. judiciary for allegedly mishandling her sexual harassment claim, an 84-year-old federal judge had some choice words for the U.S. Supreme Court and its recent decision on presidential immunity.

The words were tucked away in a footnote of a 285-page opinion from U.S. District Judge William Young, an appointee of former President Ronald Reagan.

Young, as first pointed out by Liz Dye at Above the Law, let the critique of the high court fly while simultaneously lamenting conditions of the federal judiciary that permit it to be exempt from discrimination claims filed under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
