The ironically-named "Judicial Crisis Network" has launched an all-out opposition research and smear effort to kill President Obama's Supreme Court nominees before he ever names them. This organization was originally named the Judicial Confirmation Network, and was created to ram through Bush nominees when he was President, and renamed after President Obama was elected.

Apparently if one is a defense attorney, they're supposed to refuse to defend people accused of heinous crimes.
The inmate described in JCN’s ad is Casey Frederiksen, who Kelly represented in 2005 during her career as a public defender. Frederiksen is unquestionably a terrible human being. Kellyrepresented him in a federal child pornography trial after he was accused of possessing over 1,000 such images and movie clips. Years after his conviction on these child pornography charges, and while he was still serving prison time for this federal conviction, Frederiksen was arrested, tried and convicted of killing a 5 year-old girl. (Kelly did not represent Frederiksen in this state proceeding.)
With a name like Kochtopus it’s got to be good!
The leftist blurb above implies that Judicial Crisis Network says a Kelly nomination should be denied merely because she served as a defense lawyer for said P.O.S. Of course, that would be ridiculous, as everyone knows even a P.O.S. deserves his day in court.
In fact, the problem raised by JCN in the video is that Kelly argued that the P.O.S., her client, "an admitted child molestor [sic], wasn't a threat to society."
Still, so what? She was defending her client. The real question: What is her record on defending the Constitution? (I think we can all guess.)
Plenty of B.S. to go around on this one. Looks like both sides are preying on their sheeple.
