ATL Public Service Announcement: Never Share an Elevator With Shanetta Y. Cutlar
Lately we've been distracted by the salacious, sensational lawsuit of Charney v. Sullivan & Cromwell. But fear not, loyal readers -- we have not forgotten about Shanetta Y. Cutlar, the commendably strong-willed chief of the Special Litigation Section, in the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division.
First, a cinematic digression. Early in The Devil Wears Prada, there's a great scene in which high-powered editrix Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) steps onto an elevator. A junior magazine staffer is already inside the car. But as soon as Miranda sets foot in it, the terrified staffer mutters an apology and flees, so Miranda can ride the elevator alone.
This type of incident doesn't happen just in the shiny Gotham tower of Conde Nast Elias-Clarke Publications. It also happens, surprisingly enough, at the U.S. Department of Justice in Washington.
From an email we received from an attorney in the Special Litigation Section of the DOJ's Civil Rights Division, presided over by the diva-licious Shanetta Cutlar:
Do you know how Shanetta reacts when someone reaches to stop the elevator when she is on it? How she chews them out for daring to stop the elevator she is on -- because she is more important, and could be on her way to a meeting with the "front office"?Or, how no one goes NEAR the elevators between 3:45pm & 4:30pm, without a drop-dead emergency, for fear of running into Shanetta, and being grilled about where one is going? Then called into her office the next day, to discuss "professionalism" -- despite the fact that you got in that morning way before she did?
Props to Shanetta Cutlar for wearing her authority like an ermine-trimmed cloak. We never had a boss this cool when we worked for the DOJ.
In fact, nothing could be further from the truth. Once we were on a completely packed elevator in the U.S. Attorney's Office in Newark (D.N.J.), riding down from the ninth floor. The elevator was full because the entire office was headed to the second floor, for an "all hands" meeting.
The elevator stopped on the seventh floor, the "power floor" of 970 Broad Street. The doors opened, to reveal the U.S. Attorney himself, Chris Christie, and two other members of the "front office." They were waiting, of course, for the elevator.
Several of us immediately tried to get off the crowded elevator, to make room for Christie and his lieutenants. But he wouldn't hear of it. He insisted on waiting for the next one, and he practically pushed everyone back into the car. How lame!
WWSCD? She would have ordered everyone off that packed elevator, so she could ride down to the second floor -- in solitude.
And THAT, boys and girls, is what you call leadership.
P.S. Interesting questions raised in this recent comment. Do any of you SPLers know the answers?

"Fat Boy" pushed you all back in because he wanted to save himself the indignity of having to empty half of an elevator car just to catch a lift!

I found this board by a search for NSA WWSCD, and because an NSA moron that used the WWSCD acronyn had committed illegal activity by leading a group in suppressing science descriptions that I had written.
One of those among many, was the science description for the cure of all cancer. That situation also involved a statement by me that there are over 1500 people per day that are dying of cancer, and their illegal suppression of my freedom of speech, and then the cancer cure becoming known, would be criminal action with willful intent if they continued after that date.
They did continue, and that fact is fullyl documented and witnessed by others than myself also.
The situation is obviously taht the NSA considers themselves far above any law in the U.S., and law and rights are nothing but a total joke.
So, I have my opinion about what WWSCD means, but I would like to get your description to confirm it.
As far as your "Above the Law" board name, I have seen the illegal activity for roughly over the past 1 1/2 years, and the truth of your wording is as factual as fact gets. And, totally documented and witnessed as fact also in far more suppression that has occurred also.
A thought that may or not be beyond you - if there are those who go above the law, then there is no law, and the slop called law then is nothing other than a total joke. Chew on that factual truth a ton.

Since no one had the credibility to respond to my post, and the NSA likely had an illegal hand in that also, the following is the truth involved.
WWSCD stands for World Wide Senior Catastrophe Director of the NSA.
And, the Wicked Witch of the East now has her false cover blown.
For other information, you might want to read up on Depraved Heart Murder, and which is where anyone causing the deaths of others in a type of willful carelessness can be guilty of first degree manslaughter. With willful intent, and fully committing the deaths by knowing of the situation, and then still proceeding in the death-causing actions, is guilt then on the level of second degree murder.
It is also the situation where the number of deaths resulting is over 1500 per day, and has existed for months now. For what it's worth, there hasn't been a mass-murderer in the enture U.S. history that has caused anywhere near that total of deaths.
So, you bozos might have the credibility and ethics of a wart, but it is a fact that law and justice in this country is nothing but a total farce and full of lies.
Great job of standing up for truth and justice, and also for protecting our farcical constitutional rights. What a joke!

For the sake of hypocrites who come up with the standard baloney that is common with the NSA, the following is provided to prove the lies.
For those who might be clueless to the moronic NSA trash, their squelching slop concerning "WWSCD" is a version of "What Would Santa Claus Do?"
The following was also found during searches for "NSA WWSCD".

The brackets ( )'s are added to point out the WWSCD and NSA that are included in the above.
For those braindead, the code is much the same as used by Wikipedia for their "ringtone" private writings over the web.
So, as described before, law in this country is nothing more than a pathetic farce. And, ALL allowing the criminal activity to continue and exist are no better than the criminals. And, fully deserve what comes from the complacency and total hypocrisy involved.

For information, if you do a search for "lafanasi", a word in the above code, you will find several web addresses that show search engine information, and to keep this simple, the searche engines search all over the web to find anyone who writes words that are included in a master list. An example would be "NSA", and then the engines find all writes who use any version of the words.
The point is obvious, and it is for finding people who are terrorists, or a dnager to this country.
In priniciple, the use is correct. With this hypocritical government, when they suppress the cure for cancer, or other science that prevents new motors to replace gasoline-guzzling power, then it is a crime.
For what it's worth, a motor taht runs on nothing, just like all atyoms do is one of the many suppressed science items as well.
The reason? There are billions of lost profit, and also profits in keeping cancer alive also. It is a fact that a cure for cancer would cause billions of lost profit. There is no profit at all in cures, and trillions in endless treatments.
And, that is what this criminal activity is all about.
