Small Victories: Nifong Resigns
In a week where morality and common sense in America seemed to take some mortal body blows, i.e. when:
- the Fourth Circuit Court (minus two Justices which replacements the Democrat Senate refuses to confirm..) voted 2-1 to confer Constitutional rights on a foreign-born, non-citizen who was a high-ranking member of Al Qaeda, a group we are at War with, and who was caught here in a sleeper cell awaiting Al Qaeda's orders to commit mass murder;
- the Immigration Bill has reared its ugly head again and once again threatens to destroy the Republican Party;
- the Democrat Majority leader of the US Senate publically labeled highly-decorated Generals--including the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs--who are trying to motivate and lead American troops into battle in that War -- as "incompetent" ; and,
- a dedicated and highly-respected public servant who absolutely did nothing wrong was ordered to prison, at the end of a political witch hunt orchestrated by the CIA and other enemies of the President--all to score political points against a lame-duck Administration.
In a week where all of this terrible news came down, at least the scumbag Prosecutor who tried to ruin the lives of innocent College kids won't be hurting anyone else for a while. Durham DA Mike Nifong resigned today.
Of course this can hardly be compared to the damage that this zealous prosecutor trying to win the black vote did to those kids, to a prestigious University, and to an entire community--but at least it's a start.
