Legalities

I'm glad someone is getting tapped, because I'd rather see Paul Clement not get tarnished in the job.

It's good Gonzales is gone, no matter who is tapped.

Gonzales is an excellent example of the unforseen bad consequences of affirmative action programs in education.

Ms. Greenburg,
I was looking forward to having you sign your book at the national book festival on the 29th. Unfortunately, I am taking the LSAT that day. Are you having any other signings in DC? Thanks so much.

The salient thing the unfortunate turn of events of the JENA 6 controversy here in Louisiana reveals, is that long ago an open discussion and / or probe of the issues could have remedied or likely prevented things from becoming out of hand. In that same regard, it goes without saying that the situation with former Department of Justice U.S. Attorney Alberto Gonzales needlessly got out of hand; lasted longer than necessary; and ramifications from his legacy are not limited to what occurred with those 8 fired assistant attorneys. A probe into the activities of the Justice Department operation inside infamously corrupt New Orleans, and Baton Rouge is long overdue.

Also, prior to the Jena 6 / Mychal Bell uproar, the Criminal Judicial System in Louisiana has repeatedly been in the national spotlight. Due to prolonged outcry, there was once even a juvenile jail ordered shut down became of inhumane things being done. Succinctly, the Civil Judicial System in located Louisiana NEEDS to be as much in the national spotlight as the criminal system, for both the federal and state courts here have been means for horrendous afflictions upon certain classes of people.

It is a well-known fact that corruption and cronyism thrive in New Orleans; and the Louisiana State is also entrenched. Furthermore, it is astonishing –and I feel certain the average layperson could have told the Jena prosecutor that minors are not to be charged under the same laws as adults!

Headquartered in corrupt New Orleans are the State supreme court of Louisiana and its Louisiana Fourth Circuit; as well as the Federal Eastern District Court and the Federal Appeals Court which has jurisdiction over the rival POVERTY state of Mississippi as well. In the same building with the federal district court is the Justice Department (DOJ). See: "New Orleans Federal Agents: Who Will Be Their Next 'Going Jacques Morial' Victim?

I am a 56 year old Black female. Prior to Katrina, I had lived in New Orleans, Louisiana all my life. (I grew up in foster homes, was a teenage parent, had various personal baggage I have and am yet dealing with to the best of the ability I have. I am what would be called a “Have Not,” in the sense that I don’t have any connection to the crony or elite establishment.) Like anybody else, I would prefer my personal embarrassing life to not be on the Internet; but to fully expose the judicial systems’ horrific conduct, and to avert scores of others from being harmed, I saw no other choice, after I was virtually raped by the DOJ and certain jurists.

I would appreciate it if I could be given the opportunity of this forum to announce / point out the fact of the destructiveness of the Federal as well as State CIVIL court system in Louisiana; and that it will continue to be if such if it remains uninvestigated by non-local Washington authorities. It is my hope and my prayer that the incoming US Attorney will not leave intact corrupt activities, and that he will see the stark correlation of persistent Louisiana corruption and fully investigate the judicial systems here. Not until the REAL QUESTIONS become asked, and the responsible persons are made to explain their actions, racism and disparity and poverty and oppression and corruption will thrive here.
