Well that ended fast. My only hope from all of this is that more black people get more radicalized that we see a Neo Black Panthers Party type militia. We are living through radical times.

Americans are highly desensitized to violence and love nothing more that using a hammer for every solution.

More than 1,000 law professors oppose Sessions

More than 1,000 law professors oppose Sessions
Kevin Johnson , USA TODAY5:58 p.m. EST January 3, 2017

WASHINGTON — More than 1,100 law professors are urging the Senate to reject the nomination of Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions to serve as attorney general in President-elect Donald Trump's incoming administration.

The group, which represents 170 law schools in 48 states, expressed its opposition Tuesday in a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee, asserting that the Republican senator would "not fairly enforce our nation's laws and promote justice and equality in the United States.''

Professors, who included Harvard Law School's Laurence Tribe and University of California-Irvine's Erwin Chemerinsky, referenced the Senate's 1986 rejection of Sessions' nomination for a federal judgeship, due in part to Sessions' past, racially charged statements.

"Nothing in Sen. Sessions' public life since 1986 has convinced us that he is a different man than the 39-year-old attorney who was deemed to racially insensitive to be a federal district court judge,'' the professors' petition states.

During the contentious Senate hearing in 1986, Sessions was grilled about a number of remarks, including one in which Sessions referred to the Ku Klux Klan as "okay until I found out they smoked pot.'' Sessions also was criticized then for his role in a failed Alabama voter fraud prosecution. Sessions' opponents have alleged that as U.S. attorney in Mobile, the prosecutor launched the case against black voting rights activists as a way to intimidate minority voters.

"Some of us have concerns about his misguided prosecution of three civil rights activists for voter fraud in Alabama in 1985 and his consistent promotion of the myth of voter-impersonation fraud,'' the professors said.

The statement comes a week before Sessions is scheduled to appear before the Judiciary Committee for confirmation hearings.

Sessions' spokeswoman Sarah Flores called the criticism "business as usual for the same far-left academics who trot out letters opposing just about any conservative or Republican who’s nominated to a key position by a Republican president.

"Jeff Sessions enjoys wide support from law enforcement organizations to civil rights leaders to victims’ rights organizations and many others,'' Flores said. "He will be confirmed with both Democratic and Republican votes to be the next attorney general.''

Last month, the International Association of Chiefs of Police, the nation's largest group of top police leaders, the National Association of Police Organizations and a coalition of more than 100 former U.S. attorneys offered their endorsement of Sessions to serve as the nation's chief law enforcement officer.

University of California Berkeley law professor Ty Alper, one of the 1,140 law school faculty members to joint the petition, said Sessions' unstinting support of anti-immigration measures and his questioning of such things as the human contribution to climate change "have struck a nerve.''

"We know that this is an uphill battle,'' Alper said. "But we hope that the volume of voices will give senators some pause.''

This won't make any difference insofar as he'll be confirmed anyway, but I don't know if I can remember Cabinet pick this unpopular.

(on repealing the federal ban on racial profiling)
The legislation focuses on protecting racial and ethnic minorities, rather than protecting all individuals from discrimination on the basis of race and ethnicity.
Unlike all other Federal antidiscrimination statutes, which generally protect all individuals from discrimination on the basis of race, portions of this legislation are geared to protecting only racial and ethnic minorities. For example, the "disparate impact" provisions found in section 102(c) of the bill are available only to racial and ethnic minorities. Any legislation that specifically targets only members of certain races, while excluding members of other races, presents very real equal protection problems.

Theyre mad at this legislation because it sought to protect Blacks & Hispanics from their predatory behaviour and theyre using some fork tongued All Lives Matter type bullshyt to argue against it.

The bill mandates that all State and local governments collect data, pursuant to Federally established standards, to determine whether "racial profiling" is taking place, as a condition of receiving Federal monies, even if there is no evidence or complaint that a particular agency has engaged in such activity. Noncompliance with this mandate is punishable by the withholding of Federal funds. These provisions may even violate the constitutional limits of the ability of Congress to regulate State and local governments as a condition of Federal funding. On a number of occasions, the Supreme Court has expressed a narrow view with respect to Federal power to regulate State and local governments pursuant to Section 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment, absent substantial evidence that constitutional rights are being violated.

How dare you make us collect data that could incriminate us.

In so many words, theyre pretty much openly declaring that racial and ethnic minorities are a target population and they ought to be able do what they will with those populations and be unimpeded by pesky federal laws.

Michigan considered a 'border zone,' citizens subject to search, detention, ACLU says


Need to pay attention who Teflon Don appoints to ICE superintendent. With that border map that the ACLU is circulating and the High Court already gutting the 4th amendment earlier.... if he picks his cronies like Sheriff Clarke the ICE about to be ran like a Gestapo.

Hilarious that this border thing was a favorite subject of the conspiracy theorists a few years ago and now they all support the guy who might implement it.
