One theory that has emerged is the Nifong is a complete idiot, but has been able to get away with it since (1) Durham is a relatively small town and (2) Nifong is petty, mean and vindictive. I'm really looking forward to reading more of his trial history because what I saw showed someone who had no business in a court room. Shows a guy who should stick with traffic court and leave felonies to the adults.

Black Panthers Welcome, Duke Students Not?
[snip]
Over the past few hours, I've learned from multiple sources of a potentially troubling situation at today's Duke football game. I have been told that DSED activists, along with members of Duke sports teams, were prevented from registering students at the stadium, for reasons that remain unclear.
I'm unaware of any Duke policy that would prevent students with valid Duke ID's from engaging in this activity. After all, credit card companies sign up students at Duke sporting events. Moreover, registering voters has a long association with the academy, dating from the 1960s, when college students sought to register African-American voters in the South.
