Hey! I agree with Obama! Ah, no I don't

So Obama wants Nifong investigated. Good for him. So does any informed, decent person. It appears highy likely the man should be disbarred, and jail is in the neighborhood, too.

And there's always a fair chance that the bar association won't get the job done.

But the feds? I suppose there is a good case for feds investigating state corruption, though one has to be careful of the slippery slope, but really, when it gets down to it, what right do the G-men have to be involved here?

QueensGuy replies: State corruption has nothing to do with this. This was arguably a racially motivated unlawful prosecution, in violation of the defendants' 14th Amendment rights. Favorite tool of the civil rights division. Perhaps the Senator is trying to bolster his credentials as being in touch with his white heritage as well as his black.
