In a move sure to fray his relations with law enforcement, President Obama on Thursday appointed Debo Adegbile, a former attorney for convicted cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal, to a six-year post on the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights.
Mr. Adegbile worked at the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund when he represented Abu-Jamal in the appeal of his conviction and death sentence for the notorious 1981 shooting death of Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner. Abu-Jamal’s sentence was reduced to life in prison.

That sucks for the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights.
Hopefully that Commission gets cleaned up shortly
To be fired by Trump in four weeks.
I think it should go the way of Obamacare.
Defund it. Ain’t getting paid, no one will work.
The vetting process:
“Do you hate white people?”
“Yes, I do.”
“You’re hired!”
Just further proof of what a sham the whole ‘civil rights’ thing is.
Another FU to the cops before his takes his skinny ass out of DC.
Yes.
The eight-member civil rights commission consists of four members appointed by the president and four appointed by Congress. The six-year appointments are not subject to Senate confirmation.
The commission is an independent, bipartisan, fact-finding federal agency with a mission to “inform the development of national civil rights policy and enhance enforcement of federal civil rights laws,” according to its website.
One more agency / department to disband if this last-minute move cannot be reversed.
Trump can’t fire him. Reagan tried that and failed.
Didn’t he play a bit part in Shaka Zulu?
Meet him half way. He can hold the position, but he works for free, and provides his own office supplies.
Just wait ‘til we see the Communist fiend’s list of pardons. It will make everyone with a brain sick to their stomachs.
FIVE weeks from today, Bud. Let’s hope this low-life bastard gets axed.
We’ve all been wondering how Obama is going to further damage our country in his remaining days. Well, here we go.
Mumia should have been fried years ago.
Call me over optimistic if you want, but I think the same God who brought Donald Trump on the scene can deal with this stuff. Whether or not Adegbile can be legally fired (though again I don’t know the details).
Trump has a way of persuasion and getting even enemies to support much of his agenda. I think that voice comes from heaven, not (merely) from earth. It can’t hurt to pray for this. What would tell the lefties more that a greater Power is in control now, than for Trump to peel off some support for centrist and even conservative goals from people like this?
Don’t you like how the author made the point it’s a 6 year appointment. More like 6 weeks so this guy shouldn’t bother putting his name on the door.
