Seeing as how Nifong has no recall of a session that everyone else remembers well, doesn't the voters have a right to recall Nifong?

We could call it "The He Can't Recall Recall" election.

They forget who they work for, and that the public trust demands they seek justice, not just notches on their headboards. Exactly, Jezebelle. Nifong and his ilk have not only ignored the commands of the U.S. Supreme Court, but also the comment to ABA ethical rules such as Rule 4-3.8, which provides: "A prosecutor has the responsibility of a minister of justice and not simply that of an advocate. This responsibility carries with it specific obligations to see that the defendant is accorded procedural justice and that guilt is decided on the basis of sufficient evidence."
It's a damning indictment of both his competence and his integrity, and Nifong richly deserves disbarment. If Nifong's comments here are representative of the type of "defense" he tends to offer at trial on the disciplinary charges, he is (or should be) dead in the water.

Monks leaves party helm
BY BRIANNE DOPART : The Herald-Sun, March 3, 2007 : 11:22 pm ET -excerpts-
Steve Monks is sorry.
The former chairman of the Durham County Republican Party, who is best known for his unsuccessful write-in candidacy against District Attorney Mike Nifong, had planned to do a lot of explaining in his farewell address to the committee at the county convention Saturday. ......
Regarding his ill-fated run for district attorney, Monks rehashed his decision to make himself a write-in candidate, saying he met with "some powerful Democrats" who told him to pull out of the race, and saying he didn't take "getting pushed around, bribed or threatened by Democrats lightly.
Monks did not name names.**
As a result, he said, "the powerful Democrats who ran this community for so long were ... taught a lesson: Don't take Republicans for granted."
Floyd McKissick, chairman of the Durham County Democratic Party, said he'd never heard of such a conversation and wasn't aware that anything along the lines of what Monks described had occurred. Regarding the district attorney race, McKissick reiterated what he told The Herald-Sun last week, saying the issue of who played what role in Nifong's election was a moot point.

Sure, at best NIfong has too defective a memory to handle the job.

I agree whole heartedly. There is nothing more corrosive to a society built upon the rule of law than to have such misconduct in the prosecution of the law.
With great power must come greater accountability and even greater punishment for those who betray the trust granted with that power.

Of course, if Nifong is finally fired as he should be, he probably won't recall having been fired and continue to show up at his desk every day and spend 8 hours cutting out paper dolls, same as he is doing now.

Exactly, Grimmy, and in my opinion the proper punishment for those who are found guilty of deliberately convicting an innocent person, would be serving twice the sentence they sought for that innocent person.

Just because Mckissick thinks he never heard of such a conversation, doesn't mean it never took place. Dims as a group as well as individually, have a problem with recollecting.
