He was unfairly rejected

He is of mixed ancestry.

Why is this relevant?

[Flintlock]

Plus, he’s about the leftmost crazy they could readily get their mitts on.

Oh, don’t got there? Why not?

[Diogenesis]

“He defended a very unpopular killer”

This may be a clue to Judges, like Roberts, who
hold the actual Constitution in contempt as they
write “laws” on the fly, and lie in Court,
... to help criminals.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

It’s one of the “race” buttons liberals like to push.

Competence requires melanin - did you miss the fundamental transformation?

The 50 senators voting on this judges appointment was like voting for&against a “King George/Castro Like” individual to be a leading civil rights Judge/Magistrate.

Was his father muslim?

"He represented a death row inmate convicted for murder."

This may accurately reflect what Roberts did and there's nothing wrong with "representing" murderers. That's the job of a lawyer.

But that misrepresents what Adegbile did in the Mumia case. He joined the radical leftwing propaganda campaign and praised Mumia to the heavens. He was a political partisan, not a person who could objectively enforce the law and enforce civil rights laws on a colorblind basis.

Adegbile, don't let the door hit you in the butt on your way out. Good riddance.

He was unfairly rejected

For a fleeting moment I thought this headline was for an article about Judge Robert Bork.

[Ouchthatonehurt]

Probably the most shallow construct I’ve ever read.
Thanks for posting. Interesting and informative of liberal faux-logic.

[yldstrk]

Roberts is of mixed ancestry? What British and Irish? What a weird comment.

And yes, there are depraved worthless humans who still have to be defended

[Constitutionalist Conservative]

Why is this relevant?

It was part of a rhetorical bait-and-switch designed to evoke an outraged response from liberals who thought they knew who the author was talking about.

[afsnco]

Yep, he’s apparently of Irish, Welsh and Czech ancestry. Can’t figure out that comment either.

[yldstrk]

I guess you could say we all are, I mean, female and male, very different species

[liberalh8ter]

Excellent......the goose/gander option on the Senate menu is invisible to democrats.

Two words for this idiot: Miguel Estrada

Yep. Apparently the FOP pulled out some of the same tactics that the Left utilizes when they want to gin-up a campaign to torpedo a nominee. Apparently they don't like having the hose turned back on THEM, cause they're screaming like scalded cats this morning.

[norwaypinesavage]

The leftists whining about Debo's rejection always conveniently 'forget' one critical point. The nay votes came not because of Debo's defense of a guilty man, they come because Debo led demonstrations intended to hide the fact the the man was guilty. Debo used deceptive practices to attempt to free a guilty man.

Besides, any adult who takes on the name of a Sesame Street character isn't worthy of leading anything.

This may accurately reflect what Roberts did and there's nothing wrong with "representing" murderers. That's the job of a lawyer.

Exactly. In law school, I was told that you represent your client, you don't have to believe what your client says. Adegbile crossed the line when he acted as a "true believer" in his client's "cause." Even though that cause was patently based on lies. While that may make him a good advocate, it disqualifies him as unfit for public service.

[skeeter]

If the writer think he's making his readers think twice about yesterday's rejection of Adegbile by comparing him to John Roberts he's dead wrong.

Speaking for myself, at least.
