Last month Maureen Faulker, the widow of murdered Philadelphia Police Officer Daniel Faulkner, requested a chance to give testimony against President Obama's nominee to head the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division. Her husband was killed in 1981 by former Black Panther Mumia Abu-Jamal, who was convicted of murder in 1982. Thirty years after the conviction, nominee Debo Adegbile voluntarily took up Abu-Jamal's case and the cause in the name of race during his time as the head of NAACP Legal Defense Fund. Republican Senator Chuck Grassley asked for Faulkner's request to present testimony be granted, but Democrats have blocked her from doing so. The Senate Judiciary Committee will vote today on Adegbile's nomination. More from Fox News:

mumia yabba dabba do jam-asshat alert. I guess the radical left wing extremist socialist demokkkrat scumbags don't think she has a vested interest in the matter. She's probably just your average racist and doesn't want to see another "man of color" moved in to a position of such authori-tie.

Just another example of how Democrats don’t give a crap about anything but themselves and their agenda.

That vile halfrican cabal is Public Enemy #1, and a far greater threat to our Constitution than even FDR’s wildest wet dreams.

We no longer have a Republic.

We no longer have a President.

We have a tyranny under a dictator whose regime needs to go.

I think Seth Williams, the DA, has spoken out against this, but not a peep from the police commissioner or Mayor Nutter, or Bob Casey or anyone else in the Philadelphia and PA Democratic establishment.

Though, Williams is probably planning to run for Mayor or Governor at some point so it could be calculated outrage on his part.

You just know that Abu-Jamal is going to be pardoned when Obama leaves office (if not before).

...and he will be found dead on the rough streets of Philadelphia soon thereafter.
