He (a civil rights attorney) filed an Amicus Brief along with others regarding the incorrect jury instructions during the sentencing phase of the convicted cop killer. Furthermore, they filed that brief some 20 years after the conviction and reportedly based on new evidence. There is nothing wrong with that.

The conviction was upheld, the sentence commuted to life in prison, appealed by the state, remanded back to the lesser court for reconsideration. Commutation upheld ... end of story.

Now, what’s not being pointed out and becomes obvious once you read the history of this case is that both the murderer and the rejected nominee are both very very well connected on the left and there was an international effort to have the murderer’s sentence commuted.

Now, after a day of reading regarding this case I surmise that the rejected nominee was being groomed to eventually replace Holder, and that he was chosen because of his philosophical similarity with Holder and would toe the current line — that blacks cannot be racist, that most whites are racist whether they know it or not and that he was going to go up there and *not* represent all the people, just merely the black ones, just as holder has.

Exactly. Defending Mumia was part this guy's praxis. He did it out of a sense of mission and it follows straight from his racialist ideology. Equating this guy with Roberts, and then adding in the racism accusation, is so dishonest that I think even some Rats might be put off by it.

Interesting. It certainly would line up with this administration's "in your face" appointments and job promotions -- how they reward radicals and lawbreakers.
