the_archfiendYou may've seen some simply wonderful references I've made in the recent past to a creature going by the name of Andy Martin (previous examples include this and this), but I thought that a bit of a refresher course on the TMD might be offered by referencing a few other choice tidbits concerning the former Anthony Martin-Trigona, especially concerning some of his legal activities as detailed here:
Martin-Trigona's history in the federal Second Circuit Court of Appeals, which is comprised of New York, Connecticut and Vermont, dates back at least to the eighties. In 1984, Hon. Jose Cabranes enjoined Martin-Trigona from continuing to burden the court system with frivolous and scurrilous pleadings. Substantially affirming Judge Cabranes's order, the Second Circuit laid out Martin-Trigona's history to that point in In re Martin-Trigona, 737 F.2d 1254 (2d Cir. 1984).
Oh, but there's more!
The Second Circuit proceeded to summarize the factual findings made by Judge Cabranes to support the injunction:
Martin-Trigona is known to have filed over 250 civil actions, appeals, and other matters throughout the United States, which have been pursued with "persistence, viciousness, and general disregard for decency and logic." He has used legal pleadings to ventilate his contempt and hatred of persons of Jewish heritage and to level accusations which "have often been personal, have often emphasized racial or religious affiliations, and have often involved the members of . . . judges' and counsel's families." The purpose, nature and effect of his resort to multiple litigation has been to involve as many persons in as many confounding legal processes as possible. . . . Martin-Trigona's voluminous filings have "inundated" the District of Connecticut and his activities have burdened judicial operations to the point of impairing the administration of justice. Finally, Martin-Trigona has not desisted from his course of vexatious litigation but has expressly stated his intent to file yet more actions.
Uh huh. And yeah, it's the same tool who refers to his "inspirational life story and biography" on his vanity web site with one hand while trying desperately to sling mud at Mark Kirk's sexuality and military record with the other.
Yeah, that's "inspiring" something, all right. Nausea, as far as I can tell.
