But for the bomb, the four would be in their 60s, probably grandmothers. Three were 14 and one was 11 in 1963 when the blast killed them in the 16th Street Baptist Church, which is four blocks from the law office of Doug Jones, who then was 9. He was born in May 1954, 13 days before the U.S. Supreme Court’s Brown v. Board of Education school desegregation decision. He was 16 when he attended, at this city’s Legion Field, the Alabama Crimson Tide vs. the University of Southern California Trojans football game in which USC’s Sam Cunningham, an African American all-American, led a 42-21 thumping of the home team, thereby (so goes the much-embellished but true-enough story) advancing the integration of the region through its cultural pulse, college football. Roll Tide.
As a second-year law student, Jones cut classes to attend the 1977 trial of one of the church bombers, Robert “Dynamite Bob” Chambliss. In 2001 and 2002, as U.S. attorney, Jones successfully prosecuted two other bombers. Was there resentment about this protracted pursuit of justice? No, he says as he nurses with tea a voice raspy from campaigning, because after 9/11 intervened, punishing domestic terrorism was not controversial. Today, this son of a steelworker stands between Roy Moore — an Elmer Gantry mixing piety and cupidity: He and his family have done well financially running a foundation — and the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Jeff Sessions.

Progressives can see the finish line for the destruction of our Republic.
Whenever someone presumes to be judge and jury over a Clintonesque attack on conservatives, a lie is afoot.
I am now convinced that the accusations against Judge Moore have NOTHING to do with Judge Moore. The accusations have EVERYTHING to do with Republican Senators facing potential primary opponents for 2018. The sexual allegations are the GOP(e)’s way of saying, “Primary challenger, beware. We will do this to you too!”
Excellent point.
It’s interesting how all the GOPe Swamp Creatures seem to be reading from the same script.
George Will thought Ronad Reagan was an embarrassment in 1980.
He thinks Donald Trump is an embarrassment right now.
Dunno why we should care what this effete Poindexter finds embarrassing.
Hey Will...you’re supposed to become more conservative as you age not more leftist.
If they’re successful in destroying Roy Moore’s candidacy, they’ll never be stopped. Hope he can withstand the onslaught.
I’d almost forgotten that George Will even existed.
George Will left the GOP in 2016. His recommendations can be placed in File 13 along with Morning Joe’s and John Kasich’s.
George Will is and always a Tory rather than a conservative.
That is giving him way too much prestige.
That’s what I thought on the first WaPo smear. It was the Republicans fighting their immediate and potential primary opponents.
George Will owes me an editing fee for correcting his grossly erroneous headline.
What an arrogant, snide and petty, bow tied prick Will has become, or maybe has always been. What the voters will likely do is vote for Moore to prevent a Dim from winning, and then assume that the governor would appoint another temporary senator if Moore should have to leave office.
Jeff Gillooly, pickup the gold courtesy phone, your contact is waiting with your next assignment.
George Will? I thought he was dead. Oh well dead or arrive he’s a scumbag. I
Let the voters decide!
“George Will, Cheap Labor Express propagandist emeritus”
Exactly right.
Again...never have liked Moore, but he has the right enemies!
Somewhere there is a war room where George,mitch,shumer,flake,Feinstein,et. al are sitting and high fiving. This is the elites game plan. The plan is to destroy all of bannons candidates no matter what so they all survive politically. I pray they fail. Would be nice to have a recorder in thier room. Power hungry and crazy.
