Ah, found a link to the Burke speech:

http://press-pubs.uchicago.edu/founders/documents/v1ch1s2.html

“…First, the people of the colonies are descendants of Englishmen. England, Sir, is a nation, which still I hope respects, and formerly adored, her freedom. The colonists emigrated from you when this part of your character was most predominant; and they took this bias and direction the moment they parted from your hands. They are therefore not only devoted to liberty, but to liberty according to English ideas, and on English principles…. ”

What the contemporary FAKE liberals of the Left abjure in all its manifestations is this very committment to liberty, as well as to the justice that protects it. Of course, as Dabney pointed out in the 19th century, American conservatism merely follows, puppydog like, in the shadow of “radicalism”–and today’s FAKE conservative politicians are in no way conservatives at all, at all. (And so I run further along the rabbit trail *heh*)

But Beth, “justice, honesty, decency and the integrity of our judicial system” and “equal justice for all” are ideals that are anathema to the contemporary FAKE liberals that populate the Left. REAL liberals would hold those ideals at least as highly as real conservatives (like those conservatives who were the Founders and Framers of our nation–See Edmund Burke’s speech before Parliament in March (?) of 1775 for one of the most brilliant statesmen of the 18th century’s take on the conservative ideals of the American colonists).

Hmmm… I see I’ve run down a rabbit trail a bit. *heh*

I’ve been listening for “disbarred for life.” Haven’t heard it yet. I know different states have different laws, but in many, disbarrment is not for life.

Mr. Nifong deserves more than to be disbarred. Only now as he realizes he’s lost any chance at honor has he resigned as Durham D.A.

If lying to investigators is a crime worthy of jail time, what about deliberatly railroading the innocent in pursuit of political gains? Mike Nifong deserves to go to jail for at least as long as he tried to put innocent men behind bars for.

Bar: Nifong Was ‘Minister of Injustice’…

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Mike Nifong, the prosecutor who doggedly pursued the now-debunked Duke University lacrosse team rape case, was a “minister of injustice” who wove “a web of deception,” a state bar prosecutor said in closing…

Absotively! Is that a word? I liked this statement; “Many of the blogs Iâ€™ve read make this a conservative versus a liberal issue. I donâ€™t understand that. It has to do with justice, honesty, decency and the integrity of our judicial system. I would think all Americans would want our system to work for equal justice for all. It SHOULDNâ€™T be a race issue - either way.”

Had the case way back then been allowed to be about justice and not the “big bad white man puttin’ the black girl down” as Not-So_Sharpton and the Is That My Kid Jackson piped all over the globe,the evidence would have been forthcoming and the charges dismissed.

Unfortunately, Nifong CHOSE to make it a race thing and clearly it was not. And you are correct but the Leftinistra will not agree. Nifong, a Leftinistra, went along with the current of the winds from the howlings of the racists in the Sharpton-Jackson camps.

Now, he will pay his dues…or there will be hell to pay, I am sure.

Hey Fred I agree - but from the looks of it, he might find himself doing time.

Ed hit that one on the head, NC should be up in arms if Nifong is allowed to continue to practice law…

Practice Law, damn, I really want someone that already knows how…
