The Senate filibustered President Obama’s nominee to lead the Justice Department’s civil rights division, with seven Democrats joining Republicans Wednesday in arguing his past history defending a convicted cop-killer made him the wrong man for the job.
The defeat of Debo P. Adegbile, who as a lawyer for the NAACP filed a brief arguing that former Black Panther Mumia Abu-Jamal’s murder trial was tainted by racism, is a major blow to Mr. Obama. It comes even after Democrats changed the rules

Libs get away with a lot but defending a COP KILLER like Jamal is too much even for most of them.
As liberal as they may be, the public still wants to see COP KILLERS locked safely away for a long time, or quickly put in the cemetery.
