“President Bush’s Solicitor General”

Is he the guy who defended DC in the Heller case?

[Sacajaweau]

A few Dems are going to get blackmailed.

[ColdOne]

So now Bush is good? This bunch is a travesty.

[Buckeye McFrog]

To be fair to him, Arlen Specter sprung a murderer and then spent two decades sitting in the US Senate.

RE :” His unwavering dedication to protecting every American’s civil and Constitutional rights under the law – including voting rights – could not be more important right now.”

Oh noes, who will sue states for passing voter ID laws?

Jim Crowe??

[SIRTRIS]

Just why can’t Obama accept he lost this?

[liberalh8ter]

In other words, Obama took more time to issue an admonishment of those who failed to confirm his Marxist friend than he spent trying to save our people in Benghazi.

I would rather he was voted down for some other reason other than defending a cop killer. I haven’t been following the facts.

So what? Everybody is entitled to a legal defense. Either the best they can buy, or the best the state can provide or the best that just volunteer.

I don’t care if he killed 30 cops and ate all their livers with Fava Beans and a Chianti, we shouldn’t be taking this against the lawyer who was hired, appointed, volunteered or otherwise became the defense lawyer.

As a lawyer, Mr. Adgebile has played by the rules. And now, Washington politics have used the rules against him.

Feel the burn Hussein! Taste the sweet pain of defeat and rejection.

[RightGeek]

If he had a son he would be defended by Debo Adegbile .

[Sacajaweau]

black, black everywhere....don’t whites have civil rights, too

[SandRat]

It was not a failure, they just told yhou NO.

[SECURE AMERICA]

I don’t care if the guy rescues puppies.
He has tried for years to free cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal.
That alone means he should NEVER have a position of authority over Americans!

[RginTN]

What next, will Obama appoint lawyers who defended Citizens United to DOJ civil rights division...they followed the rules too!

[SECURE AMERICA]

The fact that his nomination was defeated solely based on his legal representation of a defendant runs contrary to a fundamental principle of our system of justice

Nonsense. That you tried to have a man appointed that spent years trying to free the most hated criminal in American jails, a multiple times convicted Cop Killer, because that man is black, was a slap in the face to ALL AMERICANS...

[TexasCajun]

Bless His Heart! ...he never got told NO!

[savedbygrace]

Remember: Obama lies.
