His only peers are criminals. They tend to be in jail and not eligible for jury duty.

Apparently the gentleman from Louisiana believes that those not of his race are likewise not his equals. It thus appears that he and his counsel have decided that racism is required as part of his defense.

I am still puzzling over the court’s rejection of the thousands of dollars from his freezer.

His motion contends that the northern Virginia court has a lower percentage of African-Americans than Washington and by bringing the case there the government is preventing the African-American congressman from being tried by his peers.

DUH! EVERYPLACE has a lower percentage of African-Americans than Washington D.C.!

Why is this clown criminal still in office?
Why after finding all that money in his fridge isn’t he in jail?
Why have the dems not put him out with the garbage like the Republicans do when they find out one of their own is a p.o.s.?
