It’s So Important to Die On The Right Side of History

The recent death of one time segregationist Senator Robert C. Byrd marks the end of the longest tenure by a U.S. congressman/senator. Byrd, who died on Monday the 27th of June at the age of 92, had served in the Congress since 1952 and was a former Ku Klux Klansman, an organization in which he served as both a member and a leader.

President Obama Shakes Up Afghanistan Command

President Obama’s Leadership Shines Through Again

Once again President Obama has confounded his critics by his handling of the "Runaway General" political bombshell. Instead of becoming overly emotional and making an emotionally charged decision, he used his God-given analytical skills and removed General Stanley McChrystal from his command position over all U.S. troops in Afghanistan.

ATL Child Murders Documentary

Wayne’s World Comes to An End

The Atlanta Child Murders: My Opinion

Wayne Williams was a failed talent scout and probably was and is a homosexual/pedophile. In dealing with one of his prospects he probably propositioned the boy and was rejected. He possiblywent into a rage and killed the boy. He probably achieved a sexual release either during the murder or shortly afterward. Having done this he began to relish the feeling of power and control that he experienced by committing this act and began to do it again and again because he could no longer control his compulsive behavior.

In Defense of President Obama

It amazes me how so many, including some Democrats, are rushing to condemn President Barack Obama's handling of the Gulf Coast oil disaster. While Republicans are mostly doing it to score political points with their base of voters and supporters, I am very dismayed that even some liberal Democrats such as James Carville, a Louisiana native, have joined the chorus of boo birds.

So I Was Wrong About Obama’s SCOTUS Nominee

     Alright, I was wrong when I stated that President Obama would surprise everyone and choose former Georgia Supreme Court Chief Justice Leah Sears Collins to be the first African American woman to serve in that position. As everyone knows who isn’t in a political coma, the President chose his solicitor general and fellow Harvard Law grad Elena Kagan to fill the associate justice position being shortly vacated by the court’s oldest justice, John Paul Stevens, who is 90.

     I was wrong but I still say that President Obama’s next choice will be Sears-Collins. The President followed a familiar path in nominating a sitting solicitor general,, the only anomaly being that she has no experience as a judge. This in itself is nothing unusual, as past Supreme Court justices have come from all walks of life, such as the Eisenhower appointment of California governor Earl Warren, who went on to become the darling of the liberal left, but a scourge to conservatives and bigots who detested his Brown v. Board of Education ruling, along with other rulings which expanded the rights of the nation’s dispossesed and the those of the accused.

     While not wishing ill upon anyone, look at Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who was appointed by President Bill Clinton in 1993. She has been battling pancreatic cancer and looks frail, even for a woman of her age (77 ). Court watchers suspect that she will announce her retirement by sometime in 2011 which will then allow the President to choose the third nominee of his still nearly-nascent administration. Court watchers always use several clues when trying to determine when a justice is about to vacate his or her seat, the most telling of those being how many law clerks are hired for the upcoming court term, which begins on the first Monday in October and ends in late June. For the 2010 term Justice Stevens only hired one law clerk, and lo and behold he announced his retirement a few weeks ago, which subsequently paved the way for Kagan’s nomination on the 10th of May.

     So let’s sit back, enjoy the upcoming summer nomination battle, and pray for the health of Justice Ginsburg, while at the same time acknowledging that there is a time and place for everything, including a changing of the Supreme Court’s makeup from two women to possibly three.

That’s my opinion; what’s yours? (c) 2010, Sherman Crockett

Sharpton Right to March on Behalf of Latinos

I was going to blog about how it would be important for the Reverend Al Sharpton, his National Action Network, and other African American civil rights leaders when lo and behold the Reverend Sharpton and other non-Latino leaders beat me to the punch. Their march this week in solidarity with the Latino community warmed both my heart and those of many who believe in the importance of African American-Latino political solidarity.

SCOTUS Justices Should Have The Wisdom of Solomon

When considering who will eventually take the place of retiring Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, President Barack Obama is certainly hearing advice from many different quarters. Some want him to choose a flaming liberal, even though this would be certain to provoke a prolonged battle with the 41 Republican Senators and some Senate Democrats. Others want him to choose a more moderate individual, even if only to almost assure Senate confirmation. Others, such as conservative columnist George Will, want him to strongly consider venturing outside of the time-honored tradition of choosing judges, a tradition that began, according to Will, when President Dwight Eisenhower became disgusted with two of his non-judge choices, Earl Warren and William Brennan, who became darlings of the liberal left because of the Court decisions of the 1950's and 60's which significantly expanded the civil rights of minorities. Some, including I myself, would like to see the President choose an African American woman, thus further insuring that the High court would continue its tedious march toward truly representing the diverse American quilt. In a previous blog I also suggested that the President consider Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, but both she and her husband have since pretty much nixed that possibility.
