Biden judicial nominee on board of prison 'abolitionist' group
Fox News ^ | July 22, 2022 | Houston Keene

Posted on 07/24/2022 5:31:05 PM PDT by george76

Biden nominated Roopali Desai to the 9th Circuit Appeals Court..

...

serves on the board of a group that backed calls to defund the police and has called to abolish prisons.

...

Desai serves on the board of Just Communities Arizona (JCA), a self-described "abolitionist organization" that envisions "a world in which prisons and jails are unnecessary."

...

The organization has taken several radical stances on the criminal justice system, including claiming that "the criminal punishment system isn't really about justice" and mourning Arizona’s execution of Frank Atwood last month.

Atwood was convicted in 1987 of raping and murdering 8-year-old Vicki Lynne Hoskinson prior to disposing of her body in the Arizona desert northwest of Tuscon.

...

CA was formerly known as the Arizona chapter of the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), changing its name in January of this year.

AFSC's national arm supports defunding the police and called the American criminal justice system "a racist system that disproportionately targets people of color" during the George Floyd riots. AFSC-Arizona co-signed a statement from the national arm that called to divert resources "away from the police forces that occupy our communities."

AFSC also supported abolishing prisons as well as the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement targeting Israel backed by several terrorist organizations.

...

Chuck Schumer of N.Y. has confirmed 69 of Biden's judicial nominees

...

Roopali Desai’s disturbing record makes her unfit to serve in the federal judiciary," Article III Project founder and president Mike Davis told Fox News Digital. "Desai has spent her professional career championing a radical left-wing agenda."

"She helped lead an organization that supports abolishing prisons and defunding police.. Desai also partnered with teachers’ unions to indoctrinate our children with Critical Race Theory,"

Whenever I meet one of these prison abolitionist types I ask them one question: Where should the likes of Dylann Roof go if not to prison? Surely, they don’t favor the nasty death penalty or freeing him to kill more innocent black people. I’ve yet to hear anything but crickets from them.

This woman is a FPOS. She is just a leftist dimocrap party activist with a degree. She is for:

- Banning prisons
- Defunding the police
- vote fraud and against efforts to stop it
- Mask mandates and on and on

“targets people of color”

If these “people” were properly brought up and educated, they would not commit crimes and get targeted.

Do away with prisons and you will have a huge Boot Heel subdivision. The citizens won’t put up with this. Vigilante justice will rise again.

The Founders did a very good thing when they required the POTUS to be a natural born citizen. (obama, I know) They also screwed up when they did not require the same thing for EVERY govt. official, fed, state, or local.

9th Circuit Appeals Court had had more over ruled cases than any other court gee I wonder why.

That is good. The people wanted Biden to replace President Trump. Uust as God in the Holy Bible turning the water to bloodfor the people who killed the Prophets. As was said, “Thou are just O God they spilt the blood of the Prophets You gave them blood to drink” Good ole Lying Joe gives them Judges who turn back loose those who murder and rape them. The people wanted Lying Joe, they got him.
