Wilkes, who said he has received ''hate-filled'' e-mails from around the country - including one signed ''Mohammed Stalin Hussein'' - ...

Okay, anyone want to "fess up"?

Meanwhile, in contrast to x42,a truly great man and speaker, gets The Treatment.

Will we see vindication & justice in our lives?

''It's a lot of nonsense for people to raise objections to his speaking at the graduation,'' he said. ''I think his position is something that deserves respect, whether you agree with his personal views or not.''

If he wasn't seated at the Supreme Court, would they ever be aware of his personal views.

[Night Hides Not]

Nope, wasn't me.

Open memo to Prof. Wilkes: Check your Six!!!

Perhaps if x42 and masturbated on stage Mr. Wilkes would show up dance a minstral number in honor of the Bent One.

Wilkes is walking around here with a very long face this week. Between Carl Issacs (finally) being put to death, and the law school failing to cave into his BS, he is not having a great end of the semester at the law school.

You should see some of the emails that are going back and forth. One actually had the subject line: "Wilkes is a jackass". That one was from a student.

[Mister Baredog]

UGA law professor Jim Ponsoldt said he thinks the debate ''has gotten a little out of hand,'' even though he thinks Thomas should not be able to deliver the graduation speech. Another example of the TOLERANT left. Just don't disagree with them, or you're persona non grata. These people make me sick!!!!!!!

[7thson]

Yes, we will.

This is the kind of vehicle I want when driving in DC.

What is amazing is what is missing. If conservatives were trying to block Thomas from speaking, it would be a racial issue. What is interesting is that nobody has even mentioned the PC issue of students and faculty at a Georgia Law School attempting to bar a black speaker...

You are so correct.

Isn't Wilkes supposed to be concentrating on exams and grades this week?
I am troubled to the depths of Daschle at the thought of this person giving my son a grade.

Hopefully, he will at least get his exams graded before concentrating on writing his speech for his protest. However, he loves to see his name in print, so I'm sure that speech is probably top priority. The liberal Flagpole Magazine publishes every word Wilkes utters.

I Googled Eugene Wilkes, Georgia Law Professor, and found this (emphases mine):

"Impius et crudelis judicandus est qui libertati non favet," the ancient legal maxim says. "He is to be judged impious and cruel who does not favor liberty." This maxim would be an appropriate personal motto for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

A best selling book about him is entitled "Strange Justice." A New York Times editorial brands him the Court's "cruelest justice." He is one of the principal reasons the Court is leading this country through a counterrevolution in civil liberties, civil rights, and privacy protections, in which nearly anything the government does in the name of fighting crime or terrorism is deemed constitutionally acceptable.

Justice Thomas is also one of the five right-wing Republican justices who stole the presidency from Al Gore in 2000 in that egregious manifestation of political partisanship desguised as a court judgment, Bush v. Gore, the most outrageously partisan decision in Supremem Court history, a decision in which, as Vincent Bugliosi says, "the Court committed the unpardonable sin of being a knowing surrogate for the Republican party instead of being an impartial arbiter of the law."

Anyone who questions why the Supreme Court is no longer the guardian of liberty, rights, and justice, and has become the lapdog of big government and a cheerleader for the executive branch, need only examine the career of Justice Thomas to find the answer. The courts are failing us, freedoms are fading, because we have foolishly allowed compassionless creatures such as Clarence Thomas to become our judges. The enemies of liberty have been placed in charge of protecting liberty.

You could probably get one pretty cheap, but parts may be a problem. The picture is of a self-propelled Chaparral short range air defense system. During the late-70's, I served in a composite Chaparral/towed Vulcan (20mm gun) battalion in Germany.

I wonder if these systems, or upgraded versions, are still around. All I know is that my unit, 6/56 ADA (motto - Night Hides Not) was deactivated during the 90s.

The four years that I spent at 6/56 were a wonderful experience. Platoon Leader (Chaprral and Vulcan), Maintenance Officer, Asst. S-3 (Operations Officer), Asst. S-4 (Supply Officer), and S-4, were the positions I served in. I arrived as a butterbar (2LT), and left as a Captain.

Culturally, it was a great experience, as I was able to live in Traben-Trarbach, a small town on the Mosel River, for 3 years.

[CFW]

Oh yeah, that's him alright! I think that's part of the 9 page email everyone at the law school received from Wilkes regarding the reasons Justice Thomas should not give the commencement address.

[CFW]

Night Hides Not...I think you took a wrong turn somewhere. Check your map. You are definitely lost.

''It's been very stressful. It's been very stressful for the law school,'' said Wilkes.

And who made it stressful? WILKES!
