Oh, please, you can't possibly be serious. Do you really think that Judge Jones could go before Congress and say "that was not my opinion because I didn't write it, I just joined in it"???

Judge Jones was on the panel that issued the Burdine opinion. She did not dissent or (as I recall) concur. She is as responsible for the opinion as is Judge Barksdale. It is every bit her opinion, just as the Kelo decision is the opinion of every justice in the majority even those who did not write the opinion.

It will hang her before Congress.

You should try to check your facts before you insult people for no reason.

At least the 5th Circuit had the good sense to disavow this awful opinion.You do agree that the panel decision in Burdine was wrong and was properly rejected by the enbanc court, don't you?

Your post clearly implied that Judge Jones was the AUTHOR of the Burdine opinion. ("Judge Jones' opinion in Burdine"; The 5th Circuit sitting en banc reversed her").

Please tell me what opinions Judge Jones has written that would cause you to say that "she believes that anything the government does in criminal case is OK, even perjury, false evidence, framing an innocent person" and that "She just doesn't get the 'innocent until proven guilty'or 'due process' thing." I've read every opinion she's written, and I defy you to name one in which she approved of the framing of an innocent person. I think you just don't like her.
