one of the local residents in above article mentioned "... if someone would just come down here and talk to us about the Judge..."; I say it should be just the other way around - local blacks who emphatically support Judge Pickering should send a delegate to Washington and provide an audience and testimony of their support to the Congress - preferably with media monitoring.

(but if frogs had handguns, birds wouldn't f*%k with them, either....)

Mr. Jones [the black council member who opposed integration of schools] said he rebuffed a recent telephone request by Judge Pickering that he write the Senate a letter of support. (He had publicly opposed the judge's original appointment to the federal bench in 1990.) Several other [balck] council members did agree to the judge's request, however, and their letters are on file with the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Re your post #28 - I don't understand why these letters were not made public. And why such letters are never mentioned by any media I have seen.

As I recall they did...several representatives.
