WTF with these (8) Senate dems voting against DOJ Nominee Debo Adegbile???
eight Democrats joined with Republicans to oppose Adegbile,
Initially, seven Democrats voted against confirmation and Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) -- who initially voted in favor of confirmation -- later switched his vote to no, giving him the right as Senate leader to bring up the nomination again at a later date.
Chris Coons (Del.),Bob Casey (Pa.), Mark Pryor (Ark.), Heidi Heitkamp (N.D.), Joe Manchin (W.V.), Joe Donnolly (Ind.) and John Walsh (Mont.).

Are these fools unable to understand, and to convey to their constituents, how attorneys and the firms for which they work DO their/our work???

6. Norman Goldman explained on his show today that this is fallout from killing the filibuster.
These 7 in this case have some local pressure (in the sense of anticipating a flurry of 30 second attack ads) to vote against Adegbile but in the past they could have counted on a rethug to put a hold on it and give them cover.

11. Your own article laid it out..
Several Senate Democrats joined with Republicans in voting against Debo Adegbile, whose nomination was adamantly and vocally opposed by conservatives due to his participation in an appeal filed on behalf of Mumia Abu-Jamal -- an internationally-known prisoner convicted of the 1981 murder of Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner.

14. Mumia Abu-Jamal had a constitutional right to an attorney just like everyone else...
Barring people from public service because they represented people that we personally find despicable sets a horrible precedent.

15. Most of them are from conservative states.
They probably think it will help them get re-elected. That's too bad.

16. More than too bad.
You're correct, Grumpy, but the political scene/underbelly/b.s. these days is getting me down. We won't get ANYWHERE unless/until we elect super majority dems in House, Senate, governorships and legislatures, and I don't see that happening.
Too bad for the primitives.

God forbid that a senator actually vote how they believe their constituents would want them to. Every senator votes the way they think will help get them reelected on almost every issue.

Dummies act like this asshole was a court appointed public defender. Mumia is basically a rock star among liberals. They throw rock concerts for him. They ask him to speak at their universities. They use their celebrity in Hollywood to praise him.
This asshole was basically a political activist for a cop-killer celebrity. He's also a racist.
**** him.

Senators used to be appointed by their state's legislature before the 17th Amendment allowed popular voting, just like the Representatives.
That's what Senators are now, glorified Representatives.

Do these idiots think that a Free Mumia Freak is somehow in the mainstream of America? Just by attempting this, obozo showed what a radical he really is. I loved how he got all butthurt after the vote.

You're a special kind of stupid, aren't you? How is: "not confirming" equal to "barring", you idiot?

Yeah, that was good.

You forget all of those years he was head of the class at the madrassa.
It's no wonder he married Moo-chelle. She was probably the first piece of ass he got within 100 yards of that smelled like the goats he was used to humping.

Well according to NPR they were all southern democrats AKA republicans, AKA racists.
Chris Coons (Del.) conservative??
Bob Casey (Pa.), conservative??
Mark Pryor (Ark.),
Heidi Heitkamp (N.D.),
Joe Manchin (W.V.), conservative??
Joe Donnolly (Ind.)
John Walsh (Mont.) conservative??
6 out of 7 are up in 2014. These progressive fascists will be campaigning as hard as possible as republicans but will govern as progressive fascists if reelected. I hope that the people in those states figure that out. I know that the gop will not attack these fine progressive fascists on thier record of being progressive fascists because that would be mean.

He didn't just represent Mumia, he launched a media campaign trying to victimize this criminal who should've been executed long ago.

Which is why I have LOW expectations for November. :whatever:

Bob Casey is the "Pro-Life" Senator from my state. He only voted against the confirmation because he would have never been able to live down his support for the cop-killer attorney.
Faulkner was shot in Philadelphia, and it's left a pretty endearing mark on the city, especially since these assholes defend the cop killer and call him a political prisoner.
