And that is my exact point, what was going on in this town deep in the heart of Dixie that this guy was getting away with this garbage. It seems the treating of this whole case was done rather ineptly. Why? Its not a judges job to bring a case to trial. Its the prosecutors job. Apparently the prosecutor wasn't doing a good job. Maybe he was racist. Furthermore, this law was established to protect the voting rights of minorities. Why would Mr. Pickering object to that? You can object to a law without objecting to the laws motivations. And do you suggest that if you don't agree with a law and you are in a position of power than you have the right to do all you can to prevent its implementation? Judges do that sort of thing. It wouldn't have to be racist but unless he has a sincere reason to think the law constitutionally questionable it would seem to be a case of legislating from the bench. I would have to know more details about this situation to give you a better answer. Also what is this 15 years you are talking about? You seem to be saying that the voting rights act was not in effect in Mississippi until 1980. I've never heard or read that claim anywhere except in your post. Tim
