The statement above could be used against anyone at anytime, anywhere. It covers a broad awray of accusations. Accusations abound against Pickering but I have yet to hear anyone pick (one) and explain in detail just what the hell this man did that was so "racially" disgusting that they would want to destroy this man.
The only thing I was able to find our for sure came from Mississippi, a black reporter kept harping, and harping on something Pickering had said or done, an idea he may have had back in 1959. She would not shut up about.
Metger Evers, remember him? He was a civils rights lawyer, his brother Charles was there trying to explain to this woman about the kind of man Pickering is today, he even went into detail of what this man (Pickering) has done for the civils rights movement and how hard he has worked for Blacks against the KKK. This Black reporter was bying none of this, she still harped on what may or may not have been said by Pickering in 1959.
I see the NAACP and the Black Causus tearing away at this man, but I have yet to hear any of them give a damn good reason, one shredd of evidence that this man has ever done anything but good and right for the Black Communities and people of Mississippi, the state where Blacks and Whites stand behind Pickering.
Any group, any person can make "accusation", but theirs is so broad they make no sense, they could be talking about anyone, they should be made to pick a particular situation and explain just what it is that Pickering has done that they hate him so much, or they should shut their faces and clean up their own "racist" behavior.
Just my opinion.
"*Pickering has opposed Roe v. Wade and the Equal Rights Amendment. He was chair of the Republican Party platform committee that first added an anti-Roe plank to the party platform. His strident anti-choice position is especially troubling in the 5th Circuit, where womens reproductive rights have already been eroded.
*He has inappropriately used his position on the bench to promote involvement in religious programs by people before him for sentencing."
Hardly left-wing, seeing as over 80% believe in God/religion and over 80% oppose partial birth abortion.
These are the 'People Against the American Way', not for it, IMHO.

"He has inoppropriately used his possition on the bench to promote involvement in Religous Programs by people before him for sentencing."
He used God as an example for good behavior, ok, I guess he deserves to be lynched for this, did they give any "specifics"? Any particular case, any person that came forward and stated that they were forced into a Religous Program against their will?
"PEOPLE AGAINST THE AMERICAN WAY" Why am I not surprised, these people fly their own Red, Black and Green flag, why are they dictating who sits under the Red, White and Blue?
We agree, Mom_Grandmother, and I think we ARE at the top of their 'hate list'.
Cheers,
