Esteemed colleagues and associates, it is with great pride that I introduce to you...   Dr. Nately!

The grievance named the man as Aaron Schlossberg, a lawyer in Midtown Manhattan, said Candace Person, a spokeswoman for Mr. Espaillat. Ms. Person said the name is based on social media and “credible reports.” Mr. Schlossberg, 42, did not return a phone call left at his office, she said.

What the hell kind of "grievance" can you file with a court against a person for being racist?

We may not like it, but it is not against the law just to make racist comments.

Yes, like it or not, we have an individual right to bigotry. 

I don't see any way around that if we want free political speech.

But my views on this are not settled and I am open to hearing contrary arguments.
