[Protect the Bill of Rights]

from the above article:

Hiding behind paper hung over the windows of his office

If I say the word I am thinking, I will be banned...
Hint: starts with "P" and ends with "y"

You have the right word to decribe him.

BTW, did you see in the Time article:

In the opinion of Nifong's critics, however, without him at the helm of the prosecution, there is no legitimate case to be made.

No main stream mediot, we think there is no legitimate case. That is there is no legitimate case with or without Nifong at the helm.

Also did you see that confused quotation of unnamed Durham Attorney? I guess what the quote should have been is that the attorney would bet a large amount of money that Nifong will lose his license over this and that Nifong might drop all the charges before he quits the case or his office? That is the unnamed attorney maybe thinks the ego side of Nifong, the I want to seem to be in control side will win out over the stuborn side and he may well drop the charges before resigning.

Try "pusillanimous". It means the same, won't get you banned, and you'll sound, like, educated, and stuff. And, yes, the reason I have the dictionary link is because I couldn't spell it. Although I think it describes Brodhead more than Nifong. For Nifong, I'm thinking of a few things for which I don't have a nice word either.
