Why does the media hide Pickering pro-"anti-miscegenation law"

[papau]

He in his own words has stated that he wants to make enforceable the anti-miscegenation law , and that he has an "adverse reaction" to those who "reflexively claim discrimination".

Why does the media hide the above facts?

As a law student, Judge Pickering wrote a law review article urging the Mississippi legislature to amend the state's anti-miscegenation law to make it enforceable.

Only the attempt to reduce the charges against a defendant accused of burning a cross on the lawn on an interracial couple is ever mentioned - with the excuse that that fellow got a harsher sentence than those more directly involved.

No mention of his handling of hate crimes, anti-gay position - In a speech before the 1984 Mississippi Southern Baptist Convention, Pickering lumped homosexuality with social problems, according to The Clarion Ledger, a Jackson, Miss., newspaper. "Judge Pickering has advanced a body of jurisprudence that does not reflect America's highest values and the individuals within his jurisdiction deserve better," HRC President Cheryl Jacques said in a statement Friday evening. "A man whose career has been marked by racial divisiveness and anti-gay prejudice cannot be trusted to fairly interpret the laws of our country."

When will the media notice how similiar the Bush by pass of the Congress to get a racist on the bench, a "perfectly legal action" - is to the Hitler appointments where Hitler swore that everything he did was "legal" (Shirer's Rise and Fall of the Third Reich).

The MLK gravesite boos barely get a mention as he uses his response to those Boos -of a Pickering by pass appointment - power by intimidation and force--to show us the mode of a fascist, cowardly bully - and our media is silent.

1. Because the People Who Own The Media Are Just Like Him

2. because most people don't know the word

or if they do, they don't realize how recently anti-miscegenation laws were on the books in some states.

3. For those that don't know

mis·ceg·e·na·tion: n. 1. A mixture of different races. 2. Cohabitation, sexual relations, or marriage involving persons of different races.

I had to look it up.

Pickering should be an automatic campaign issue. It is a sad state of affairs that bu$h could even suggest, let alone place this back woods racist anywhere except in the unemployment line.

4. He could have been a campaign issue

just as someone Bush so wanted; but, for Bush to sneak him in as he did makes this major! This should not be let go.
