Well remember that Reagan gave (with)Holder his first federal appointment. This affirmative action produces some bad outcomes.

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!

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...

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.

Bears repeating.

He wasn’t actually defending Abu-Jamal. The original conviction occurred in 1982. In 2009, Adegbile filed an amicus curiae brief with the United States Supreme Court in 2009, arguing that the conviction was invalid because of racial discrimination in jury selection.

The guy voluntarily went to bat for the cop killer. Nobody hired him if I remember correctly.

So a fundamental principle of our system of justice is that I can't judge someone based on the company he or she keeps.

By this rejection Obama illustrates that Republicans really are racists..."American’s civil and Constitutional rights under the law – including voting rights..."

I’ve read up on the case and the appeals.

It seems as if both Debo Adegbile and Mumia Abu-Jamal are both extremely well connected Leftists, and I would gather that a lot of lobbying had been going around for Mumia — based on his ‘in prison’ achievements — which seem to be more leftist drivel.

I wouldn’t have voted for Debo Adegbile either, but just because of his leftist leanings and one sided civil rights views. But the fact that he did Lawyerly work (as a lawyer I may add) would have never been a condideration.

The Thousand Angry Irishmen argument — Some day you or somebody you’re close to may be charged with some crime and have ‘A thousand Angry Irishmen’ calling for your head.

Are you sure it’s just not his name? I think it’s just because of his name.
