This is my first post, so I apologize if I don't follow any protocols or anything...
I was doing some reading over at DU earlier (since this guy I go to school with thinks that site is the Bible), and I came across this article on the main page. The author, Gene Gerard, posts a piece about why the Dems should be filibustering Justice Brown. He cites her opinion in the case People v. Robert Young, in which Justice Brown reportedly said the following: Justice Brown argued that it was permissible for prosecutors to do so [keep a black person off a jury on the sole basis of their being black], because she saw "no ... basis [that] black women might be the victims of a unique type of group discrimination ..." However, when I went (on a whim) to Lexis and looked at the actual text of her dissent, what she said is vastly different from what Mr. Gerard alleges: “would not reject, as a matter of law, the possibility that Black women might be the victims of a unique type of group discrimination justifying their designation as a cognizable group, but I see no evidentiary basis in Motton for us to have made a judicial finding to that effect, binding in all jury selection proceedings, and I see no such evidentiary basis in this case either.” So basically, what she said was that she saw no evidence in this case that discrimination was used, and Mr. Gerard, by rearranging the words, interpreted that to mean that she was ignorant of the possibility of discrimination. I know this is a minor point, but it irked we when I saw it. Having read that citation, I’m sure the rest of his article probably contains a few fishy statements too…
He's just following the leftist's creed!
congratulations newbie, you have seen first hand the Democratric spin machine in full gear, good detective work
yes they lie outright,
never mind that their lies are so easily discovered and discounted
because the rest of the DU crowd doesn't care,
they don't let things like facts stop them
especially since they know most of the liberal media won't bother to check either, thank god for conservative blogdom and radio.....
never mind the fact that just 10 years ago the Democrats were complaining about the filibustering by the Republicans and demanding that the filibuster rule be changed, never mind that their arguments are contrary to the Constitution of the United States.....
never mind the fact that Nancy Pelosi and other Democratic Congressmen are apparently guilty of the same "crimes" as they accuse Tom DeLay, suddenly Pelosi is speechless on those ethical violations......
There is a real basis for the feminist panick, however, over Janice Brown. Feminists have a really hard time blasting away about abusive black males (and liberal men, in general). Janice Brown doesn't care about your sex or your skin tone, ethnicity, etc -- she is a constitutionalist to the max.
Following the law is as difficult for "preferential" liberals as is "telling the truth" by this "gerard" about Janice Brown's ruling.

DING! DING! DING!
Troll here thinks he's Rush.
Ahem....he's been a member here longer than you or I.
How do I think I am Rush? If he used that phrase, I apologize, I hadn't heard it...
Things that make you go hmmm.
LOL!
Hey! It speaks!
Okay, you're a student, right? How then do you have access to Lexis?
Are you a Grad in Journalism?
I go to Bentley College, outside of Boston. Lexis is one of the databases we have access to through a school subscription. For what it's worth, we also have access to databases like JSTOR, Factiva and a bunch of the major business ones.
Well, the mods seem to agree with you, but I'm having a hard time believing it.
Anyway, post more often, ya' slacker.
Best of luck at Bentley!
Arrrggg!
If we went after our Senators as hard as we went after each other on FreeRepublic, Justice Brown would have been pushed through years ago...
What the heck are mod's? (Sorry, noob question)
