Obama Judicial Nominee Who Accused Reagan of ‘Bigotry’ Faces Confirmation Vote

We won the Senate. Is there any reason we are still filling up Federal Judgeships with these sycophants of Obama? She has been floating around out there since last February, why not stall her out for one more year? Are you telling me the GOP can’t insist that Obama find one that is acceptable and willing not to play the race card?

President Obama’s nominee for a federal judgeship in Minnesota accused the Reagan administration of “bigotry” in her writing for the prestigious UCLA Law Review in 1989.

Minnesota Supreme Court Justice Wilhelmina Wright, who is expected to win Senate confirmation to federal District Court in her state next Tuesday, wrote the accusation shortly before graduating Harvard Law School.

Wright accused Chief Justice William Rehnquist and President Reagan of aiding “white people [who] are running and hiding” from desegregated public schools.

“Their mad scramble is aided by a Chief Justice who owned racially restrictive property and a Presidential administration that believes bigotry, poverty, and poor educational opportunities for most public school students are the unavoidable fruits of a ‘thriving’ free market economy.”

Later in the same law review, but while addressing a different topic, Wright wrote that “the sanctity of property and the belief in the hierarchy of races” undergirds racism in America.

Sens. Al Franken and Amy Klobuchar, both D-Minn., have shepherded Wright through the Senate process afterrecommending her nomination to President Obama last February.

Barack Obama Praising Rev. Jeremiah Wright

It’s a Friday, and time to visit in the “way back’ machine”. Don’t you love the cadence thing he does for his homies? It takes a few seconds to get to his best bud, but hang in there.

Contrary to his claims, Barack Obama was obviously very close with the now thrown-under-the-bus Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Video June 5, 2007

 

Any questions about his Marxism?

Obama’s Pastor Wright on the Virtues of Marxism

Wright’s speech before the Socialist Monthly Review’s anniversary celebration, in September,  had everything you’d want from a Jeremiah Wright appearance; praise of Marxism, a discussion of his ties to Communists in El Salvador and Nicaragua and the Libyan government, and a gratuitous put down of the United States: “land of the greed and home of the slave.”

How Socialist is Monthy Review, you ask?

The contributors to Monthly Review include former Weather Underground terrorist Bernardine Dohrn; Marilyn Buck, another former Weather Underground member; convicted cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal; Bill Fletcher, Jr., a founder of Progressives for Obama; and Chomsky.

Ah.

Here’s Obama’s Pastor for 20 years holding forth before the Communist luminaries at the Monthly Review celebration, (and let’s face it, they’ve had a lot celebrate about, lately):
